HackerTarget.com LLC launches port scanner monitoring service

April 30, 2012 - PRLog -- HackerTarget.com have today announced the public availability of their latest online security service; which places recurring port scan monitoring into the reach of anyone. This network security scanning service monitors Internet facing servers and networks for changes to firewalls and services.

"Our customers have been requesting this added feature to our existing scanners and today we have delivered", said Peter, director and lead security analyst at HackerTarget.com; LLC. "The quality of the Nmap Port Scanner; which is one of the foundation technologies of the service, provides us with an excellent degree of accuracy in detecting changes."

The service allows daily or weekly port scans to be conducted against client selected networks or IP addresses. End users then receive an email alert if a change is detected on the selected target. By providing the solution from a hosted perspective it allows clients to understand what the network looks like from an external perspective

Being able to scan both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses ensures it is ready for the future move to IPv6; while the virtual hosting platform selected makes it highly scalable.

Interested parties can view screenshots, and more information at the primary HackerTarget.com LLC project site or go direct to the scheduled port scan dashboard.
