6-1 Discussion: Detecting Vulnerabilities in a Network

A vulnerability scanner can assess a variety of vulnerabilities across information systems. These vulnerabilities may have originated from a vendor, system administration activities, or general day-to-day user activities. For your main post, identify a vulnerability scanner and describe the functions and capabilities it provides. Given the number of scanners on the market, explain how your choice differentiates from other options available. You may want to consider cost, capability, and collaborative functions in your post. Finally, explain how your choice can be accessed for consumer use.
