Why did I get a Vulnerability Detected notice and what should I do?

The Information Security Office (ISO) continuously scans the campus networks for security vulnerabilities on connected devices.  Threat actors will often test a system's defenses for weaknesses. Once a weakness is found, it can be exploited to take control of the system. Our network vulnerability scanning services are designed to find these weaknesses, or "vulnerabilities" before they are discovered by hackers.

Did you receive an email from security@berkeley.edu with Vulnerability Detected in the Subject line?
