Vulnerability Assessment

What is a Vulnerability Assessment?

One way to secure company IT assets, maintain an awareness of the vulnerabilities in your environment and respond quickly to mitigate potential threats is through a regular vulnerability assessment. A vulnerability assessment is a process to identify and quantify the security vulnerabilities that exist within your company’s infrastructure.

A comprehensive vulnerability assessment provides organisations with the knowledge, awareness and risk background necessary to understand threats to their environment. Remediation measures can then be applied accordingly.

How vulnerability assessments help to safeguard your business

Cyber security is constantly changing and new threats and vulnerabilities against businesses emerge every day. A vulnerability assessment assists in preventing network attacks by identifying the vulnerabilities and configuration issues within your systems that hackers use to penetrate your network. Identifying these risks before hackers do will drastically improve the cyber security posture of your business. Our advanced scanning software detects live risks to your company’s infrastructure by identifying new vulnerabilities and preventing unauthorised access.

This is tested against the world’s largest integrated public database of exploits and provides the following benefits:

• Identification of systems and processes that pose a security risk before attackers identify them.
• Inventory creation of all devices on a business network, including purpose and system information. This also includes vulnerabilities associated with specific devices.
• Defined level of risk that exists on the network.
• Inventory of all devices within the business to assist with future upgrades and future vulnerability assessments.
