Why Continuous Scanning Matters
New deployments, configuration changes, and forgotten services can silently introduce risks.Without ongoing scanning, vulnerabilities may remain undetected for weeks or months. Continuous scanning helps organizations:
Catch vulnerabilities as soon as they appear
Maintain compliance with security policies & regulatory frameworks
Detect regressions introduced by new releases
Ensure all assets remain monitored over time
What Problem This Solves
Blind Spots Over Time
Assets drift, configs change, and new services go live unnoticed — continuous scans prevent visibility gaps.
Slow Vulnerability Discovery
Without automated scanning, security teams rely on manual tests that happen too late.
Operational Security Debt
Unpatched vulnerabilities accumulate silently, increasing long-term risk.
How Snapsec Performs Continuous Scanning
1
Discover All Assets Automatically
APIs, web apps, servers, and cloud surfaces are auto-discovered using ASM and synced to the scanner.
2
Run Scheduled Recurring Scans
Snapsec runs daily, weekly, or custom recurring scans without human intervention.
3
Detect CVEs, Misconfigs & OWASP Issues
The engine analyzes headers, SSL, authentication, exposures, server signatures, and known vulnerabilities.
4
Correlate Findings With Asset Inventory
Each issue is linked to its exact asset, owner, and risk category.
5
Auto-Sync Results to VM
Vulnerabilities are forwarded to Snapsec VM for triage, SLA tracking, and remediation workflows.
Key Benefits
Always-On Protection
Detect risks immediately instead of waiting for quarterly or annual checks.
Automatically Updated Coverage
New assets and subdomains are added to scan cycles instantly.
Compliance-Ready Monitoring
Maintain continuous audit logs and pass compliance checks like SOC2, ISO 27001, and PCI.
Early Vulnerability Detection
Resolve issues before they escalate into real threats.
Example Findings From Continuous Scanning

— Apache/2.4.49 vulnerable to path traversal.
Publicly Accessible Admin Interface
— Admin panel exposed to the internet.
