Information Security
Forms and Requests
- Request a vulnerability scan for your server
A vulnerability scan should be performed on a server periodically to ensure the adequacy of protection on the server. Vulnerability scans can help identify security issues related to the server that may not have been noticed before. The University Security Team currently offers vulnerability scans on departmental and school servers upon request. The vulnerability scans can be directly requested from the VCU Information Security Page. You may also contact the VCU SOM Information Security to submit a request.
- Request a vulnerability scan for your application
Similar to vulnerability scans on a server, a web application should also be scanned for potential security flaws prior to entering the production environment. A verified and secured web application minimizes the risk of compromise of the web server, as well as the web applications. The vulnerability scans can be requested from the VCU Information Security Page. You may also contact the VCU SOM Information Security to submit a request.
