Unauthenticated scans is a method that can result in a high number of false positives and is unable to provide detailed information and also about the assets operating system and installed software. It is typically used for security analysis trying to determine the security posture of externally accessible assets.it's importance is testing, identification, analysing and reporting of security issues on network.there is a risk of hacker taking advantage of vulnerability.
