Upon recognition of an installed software version 507 of the installed software 505, processing unit 500 with the disclosed embodiments of the disclosed scanning system 101 may provide a list of known vulnerabilities 509 for review by said scanning system 101 and/or its end user and maintainer of said block storage volumes 503. Based on the list of known vulnerabilities 509, the disclosed scanning system 101 or its end user may identify one or more ports of accessibility to said block storage volume 503 that may be accessed by a known, associated vulnerability 513 from listed vulnerabilities 509 to determine an avenue for potential vulnerability 513 to access and infiltrate block storage volume 503.
In some embodiments, a cyber security scanning system for a cloud environment 101 may include a processor 500 to operate said system. This processor 500 may include central processing units and other similar computer-enabling equipment for processing and executing commands based on the information inputted to said system. The processor 500 may be communicatively connected to a computer network or series of networks to accomplish said cyber security function.
