Description: Network service discovery is the process of identifying the services available on a network. This process is fundamental for network management, as it allows administrators to know which services are active and accessible, thus facilitating the management and security of the network infrastructure. Through various tools and techniques, services such as web servers, databases, mail servers, and other resources operating on the network can be detected. Service discovery not only helps maintain an inventory of available resources but is also crucial for identifying vulnerabilities and implementing appropriate security measures. Additionally, this process can be automated using scripts and specialized software, allowing for continuous monitoring and rapid response to potential security incidents. In a technological environment, network service discovery becomes an essential practice to ensure the availability and integrity of the services offered to end users, as well as to comply with security and auditing regulations.
