Vulnerability testing is used to find objects in your cloud deployment that can be exploited or that are potential security threats. The vulnerability scanner is an application that has a database of known exploits and runs them against your deployment to see whether your cloud deployment may be susceptible or have security holes that need to be remediated. The scanner will detect and report on weaknesses in your cloud deployment. For example, if you're running an older version of a content management system (CMS) that's easily hacked, a vulnerability scan can alert you to this before you become a victim.
