How does continuous vulnerability scanning differ from periodic penetration testing?

Periodic penetration testing and manual vulnerability scans provide only a point-in-time snapshot, often becoming outdated the moment a new deployment or DNS change occurs. Continuous vulnerability scanning monitors your entire external perimeter 24/7, catching new exposures and zero-day vulnerabilities within minutes of deployment.

Does bspeka require installing agents or configuring firewalls?

No. bspeka is 100% agentless and non-intrusive. It runs external security scans against your public attack surface just like a high-end external penetration tester or threat actor would, with zero configuration, zero software installations, and zero maintenance overhead.

How does bspeka help with NIS2, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 compliance?

Major security frameworks (such as the EU NIS2 Directive Article 21, SOC 2 CC6/CC7, and ISO 27001 A.8.8) mandate continuous vulnerability management and external attack surface oversight. bspeka provides automated continuous audit logs, scan histories, and actionable remediation reports required for compliance certification.

Which vulnerabilities does bspeka detect?

bspeka continuously scans for open administrative and database ports, weak SSL/TLS certificates and outdated ciphers, CORS misconfigurations with credential reflection, missing critical security headers (CSP, HSTS), dangling DNS records vulnerable to subdomain takeover, and shadow subdomains created by developers.

Six Specialized Vulnerability Scanning Engines

Modern breaches rarely exploit zero-day hardware flaws; they exploit simple, overlooked external misconfigurations. bspeka audits your perimeter through 6 dedicated scanners.

Open Port & Service Banner Scanner

Detects publicly exposed administrative services, unauthenticated databases, and vulnerable daemons across thousands of network ports before hackers discover them on Shodan or Censys.

Scans databases: Postgres 5432, MySQL 3306, Redis 6379
Audits remote admin: SSH 22, RDP 3389, Elastic 9200
Extracts service banners for unpatched CVE fingerprinting

CORS Misconfiguration Scanner

Cross-Origin Resource Sharing vulnerabilities allow malicious third-party websites to siphon private session tokens, PII, and sensitive user data from your internal and customer APIs.

Tests arbitrary origin reflection with Allow-Credentials
Detects wildcard * origins on authenticated endpoints
Validates null origin trust relationships and regex bypasses

SSL / TLS & Cipher Strength Scanner

Audits SSL/TLS certificates and encryption suites across all domains and subdomains to prevent certificate outages, man-in-the-middle attacks, and compliance violations.

Alerts 30, 14, and 7 days prior to SSL expiration
Detects deprecated protocols: TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, SSLv3
Verifies SAN certificates and trust chain validity

HTTP Security Header Auditor

Evaluates web defense layers that safeguard browsers against Clickjacking, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), MIME-confusion attacks, and cleartext downgrades.

Enforces Content-Security-Policy (CSP) integrity
Checks Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS) preload eligibility
Audits X-Frame-Options & Referrer-Policy

DNS Misconfiguration & Email Spoofing

Scans domain zone records for dangerous DNS anomalies, broken MX delegations, missing anti-phishing safeguards, and misrouted nameservers.

Audits SPF, DKIM, and DMARC reject policies
Detects lame nameservers and vulnerable zone transfers (AXFR)
Verifies DNSSEC implementation status

Subdomain Takeover & Zombie Cloud Scanner

Continuously tracks CNAME records pointing to decommissioned AWS S3 buckets, Azure App Services, GitHub Pages, Fastly, and 40+ cloud providers before hijackers claim them.

Active signature matching for 40+ SaaS/cloud providers
Instant Slack, Email, and Webhook notifications upon detection
Provides 1-click DNS record deletion instructions

Why Legacy Scanners Fail Modern Cloud Teams

Traditional vulnerability scanners were built 20 years ago for static data centers with fixed IP ranges. Today's dynamic cloud architectures demand modern Attack Surface Management (EASM).

Capability	bspeka Continuous EASM	Legacy Scanners (Nessus/Qualys)	Annual Penetration Tests
Asset Discovery	✓ 100% Automated Subdomain & Cloud Recon	~ Requires manual target IP lists	✗ Static snapshot of agreed scope
Scan Frequency	✓ Continuous 24/7 or Daily	~ Scheduled monthly or quarterly	✗ Once or twice per year
Agent Requirement	✓ Zero Agents (100% External Perspective)	✗ Heavy internal agent or credential setup	✓ Zero Agents
Dangling DNS / Takeover	✓ Specialized 40+ Cloud Provider Engine	✗ Ignored or very superficial	~ Caught only if tested manually
Alert Latency	✓ 5-15 Minutes	~ 24-48 Hours (huge scan windows)	✗ 2-4 Weeks after audit completes

How bspeka Vulnerability Scanning Works

Set up in 2 minutes. No credit card required. Immediate visibility into your external attack perimeter.

Step 1

Enter Your Apex Domain

Provide your company domain (e.g. acme.com). bspeka instantly kicks off multi-source OSINT discovery to uncover subdomains, cloud IPs, and DNS records.

Step 2

Deep Multi-Vector Scanning

Automated daemons test every discovered asset for open database ports, weak SSL ciphers, dangerous CORS configurations, and missing security headers.

Step 3

Prioritized Threat Ranking

Cut through alert fatigue. Issues are scored by true exploitability and blast radius so your engineering team fixes critical vulnerabilities first.

Step 4

Remediation & Continuous Watch

Receive step-by-step remediation snippets. bspeka verifies fixes automatically and monitors your infrastructure 24/7 for newly introduced regressions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about external vulnerability scanning and attack surface security.

What is an external vulnerability scanner?

An external vulnerability scanner inspects your organization's digital perimeter exactly as an external attacker would. Without requiring inside credentials or server agents, it analyzes publicly accessible web applications, subdomains, cloud buckets, and network ports to identify unpatched software, misconfigurations, and weak cryptographic settings.

Why is automated vulnerability scanning essential for NIS2 and SOC 2?

Regulatory frameworks like the European NIS2 Directive (Article 21) and compliance standards such as SOC 2 (Trust Services Criteria CC6.8 and CC7.1) mandate that organizations actively manage cybersecurity risk across their supply chain and digital assets. Continuous vulnerability monitoring provides verifiable audit logs that prove your external attack surface is consistently secured.

Will bspeka's scanner slow down or disrupt our production services?

No. bspeka utilizes lightweight, non-intrusive protocol probes and safe HTTP requests designed specifically to measure server response, banner info, and header configurations without causing denial of service or application degradation.

How does bspeka handle new subdomains created by developers?

bspeka continuously watches Certificate Transparency (CT) logs and DNS updates. The moment a developer registers a new subdomain or spins up a staging environment, bspeka automatically discovers the host and runs the full vulnerability scanning suite without manual intervention.

What happens when a vulnerability is found?

You receive an instant alert via your preferred channel (Email, Slack, or Webhook). Each alert includes the affected endpoint, severity level, reproduction proof, and precise copy-paste remediation steps for your DevOps and security teams.
