Internal quarterly vulnerability scanning by our cyber security experts helps to identify, classify and remediate common exposures such as weak user credentials and unpatched or out-of-date operating systems, applications and software. To comply with PCI requirement 11, vulnerability scans should be performed quarterly and after any significant network changes.
