Port Scanning

Genian ZTNA can detect port scanning run in a variety of ways. The Network Sensor monitors the network traffic flow to check the access event of ports. If a port scan is run to find a virtual IP address in order to exploit a known vulnerability, Genian ZTNA suspends the Port Scan and designates the Node as a critical one. In addition, if the ports are scanned more than the specified value within a period of time, then designated as a critical Node.

  1. Go to Policy in the top panel.
  2. Go to Policy > Node Policy > Anomaly Definition in the left Policy panel.
  3. Click Port Scan.
  4. Find Anomaly Event section to configure more options.
    • For Event Duration, optional setting to specify how long the port scan is run:
    • For Number of Allowable Ports, optional setting to specify the threshold to trigger the anomaly detection.
    • For Attribute to Match, optional setting to find a Node running the port scan.
  5. Click Update.
