The software flaws give the possibility of attacking the IT systems, which may result in gaining remote control of them. The known vulnerabilities may be detected with the use of scanners and the threat is then removed through installing some patch or a new software version; however, when the tool does not have the updated threat database, the effect of its functioning may give illusory security. Furthermore, in practice, new vulnerabilities in the security systems are identified all the time, which indicates that obtaining high level of security is a significant problem.
