Vulnerability assessments
Vulnerability assessments can be undertaken regularly to test your internal and external network infrastructure. This includes a scan to verify which ports are open and to check that the software versions in use have not changed, followed by an automated vulnerability assessment to identify new vulnerabilities in your network. New vulnerability exploits can be attempted as they become available. Both the frequency and the level of testing can be varied depending on your risk appetite.
For SME organisations who can not afford to retain a dedicated security staff, managed vulnerability security services are the ideal solution, allowing you access to highly skilled resource as and when needed, while safe in the knowledge that their security is being proactively managed.
Managed vulnerability services facilitate the continuous assessment of your organisation’s infrastructure utilising automated commercial tools that perform vulnerability assessments on an ongoing basis which are then supplemented by experienced manual technical resource.
This added value means that your organisation need not have any technical or security capability, the professionals delivering the managed service interpret the results, determine potential remediation steps and present the technical findings within a business context and in language that is meaningful to an executive audience.
