What is the purpose of a vulnerability scanner?
A network vulnerability scanner is a program written to find vulnerabilities in other programs run on either a computer or the network. There are different types of vulnerability scanners based on what the scanner is scanning.
Verify a network for weaknesses without having to hack the network. what can you do to accomplish this?
Use vulnerability scanning

What is the diffence between penetration testing and vulnerability scanning?
penetration is trying to get into a lan or client (ie. threw a open port) vulnerability is trying to find out if there is anything you can get into (trying to find if there are any open ports)

What are 5 mistakes of vulnerability management according to Computerworld?
The first is Scanning but failing to act. The second is thinking that patching is the same as vulnerability management. The third is believing that it is only a tech problem. The fourth is not looking at the whole picture but assessing the vulnerability. The fifth is being unprepared for the unknown.

What is a vulnerability scan?
A vulnerability scan is the automated process of proactively identifying vulnerabilities of software and computing systems in a network to determine if and where a system or network can be exploited and/or threatened. Vulnerability scanning usually employs software that seeks out security flaws based on a database of known flaws, testing systems for the occurrence of these flaws and generating a report of the findings that an individual or an enterprise can use to improve the network's overall security posture. The primary goal of a vulnerability scan is to reduce the vulnerability of a software application, a database, a computer, or a network of computers to hacking, denial of service, infection, and other security risks.
