Scan your IP addresses weekly for unexpected open ports

Checks your network's IP addresses every week and raises a security alert if an unexpected port is open.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each monitored ip address.

Pattern: Multiple Instances without Synchronization (12)

The problem it solves

Keeping track of which ports should be open on your network is easy to lose sight of, especially as systems change over time. An unexpected open port can be a sign of a misconfiguration or a security risk, and manually checking every IP address on a schedule is not realistic. Without regular monitoring, a problem can sit exposed for weeks before anyone notices.

Who it fits

IT or security teams responsible for monitoring a company's network exposure.

How it works

  1. Every Monday, the system pulls your list of watched IP addresses and expected ports
  2. Each IP address is checked against current internet scan data
  3. Any port that is open but not on the expected list is flagged
  4. An alert with the details is created in your security incident platform
What you get

Open ports flagged before they're exploited

You get a weekly check of your network for unexpected open ports, with alerts raised automatically in your security platform.

What you get

A security alert listing any unexpected open ports found on your monitored IP addresses.

What you need

An account with an internet scanning service such as Shodan and a security incident platform such as TheHive.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
