I run a weekly vuln scan against my ip ranges. If anything comes up I deal with it.
Could you provide some more information on how you perform a vuln scan, or what services/softwares you use to perform the scan?
I use tenable but i get it from work for free. You could use Nessus.
Tenable owns Nessus. But they have a free tier.
