It does take a number of malicious requests before someone can find an oppening. If you ban them after the 1st or 2nd request, you will be safe. It is going to be a miracle if some vulnerability scanner finds and oppening after 1 request, not impossible but HIGHLY unlikely

I think as part of our security mindset, we should consider it trivial to scan for several hundred vulnerabilities using relatively unique IP addresses. I'm not saying that you shouldn't ban traffic as it's required under several compliance programs and it is another form of demonstrated diligence. But, unfortunately, banning individual IP addresses only works against the absolute lowest hanging fruit of the criminal world.
