Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Pros
- Analyzing SSL certificates
- Analyzing SSL server configurations

Likelihood to Recommend
- Analyzing SSL certs to verify they are installed correctly
- Analyzing SSL configuration on servers to confirm correct ciphers are enabled
- Scanning our web servers for vulnerabilities as part of our regular security testing
