Vulnerability Scanning Services
Cyber attackers continuously scan the internet for vulnerable systems.
If your business has unpatched software, misconfigured services, or exposed systems, attackers will find them – often before you do.
Flux IT‘s vulnerability scanning services give Perth businesses a proactive view of their security weaknesses, enabling you to identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
What Is Vulnerability Scanning?
Vulnerability scanning is the automated process of identifying known security weaknesses in your systems, applications, network devices, and infrastructure.
A vulnerability scanner probes your environment against a continuously updated database of known vulnerabilities – identifying unpatched software, weak configurations, exposed services, and other security issues that could be exploited by attackers.
Vulnerability scanning is a foundational element of any cyber security programme and is a key requirement of frameworks including the Australian Government’s Essential Eight, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS.
Why Perth Businesses Need Regular Vulnerability Scanning?
The threat landscape changes constantly.
New vulnerabilities are discovered and disclosed every day – and attackers move quickly to exploit them before organisations have time to patch.
A vulnerability that didn’t exist last month could be the entry point for a major breach this month.
Regular vulnerability scanning ensures you maintain continuous visibility of your attack surface, enabling your team – or Flux IT‘s managed security specialists – to prioritise patching and remediation based on actual risk.
Flux IT's Vulnerability Scanning Services
External Vulnerability Scanning
Assessment of your internet-facing assets – websites, web applications, remote access portals, email servers, and other externally accessible systems – identifying vulnerabilities that could be exploited by external attackers.
Internal Network Scanning
Comprehensive scanning of your internal network, identifying vulnerabilities across servers, workstations, network devices, printers, and other connected systems.
Internal scanning is critical for identifying threats from insider attacks and lateral movement following an initial breach.
Web Application Scanning
Targeted scanning of web applications for common vulnerabilities including SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), authentication weaknesses, and OWASP Top 10 issues.
Cloud Infrastructure Scanning
Assessment of your cloud environment – AWS, Azure, Microsoft 365 – identifying misconfigurations, exposed storage, excessive permissions, and other cloud-specific vulnerabilities.
Authenticated vs. Unauthenticated Scanning
We conduct both unauthenticated scans (simulating an external attacker with no credentials) and authenticated scans (providing deeper visibility using valid credentials) to give a comprehensive picture of your vulnerability exposure.
From Scan Results to Remediation
A vulnerability scan is only valuable if you act on the results.
Flux IT doesn’t just hand you a report of findings and walk away.
Our vulnerability scanning service includes:
Results ranked by severity and exploitability so you know exactly where to focus first.
Every finding explained in business terms, not just technical jargon.
Practical, actionable recommendations for addressing each vulnerability.
Follow-up scanning to confirm vulnerabilities have been successfully remediated.
Tracking your vulnerability posture over time to demonstrate improvement.
Scheduled & Continuous Vulnerability Scanning

Continuous or regularly scheduled scanning provides ongoing visibility — alerting you to new vulnerabilities as they emerge.
Flux IT offers flexible scanning programmes:
- Monthly scheduled scans
Regular visibility with actionable reporting.
- Continuous monitoring
Real-time alerting as new vulnerabilities are identified in your environment.
- On-demand scanning
Scans triggered by infrastructure changes, software updates, or specific events.
