Vulnerability Assessment

ARE YOUR ASSETS VULNERABLE TO HACKERS?

INTRODUCING VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT

Vulnerability Assessment is a process to identify the security posture of an IT environment by safely assessing the system to discover vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities may exist in operating systems, services, applications, misconfigurations or end-user behavior. Such assessments are useful in validating the effectiveness of compliance and asset hardening. Vulnerability Assessment can be performed automated or manual. The process includes gathering information about the target before the scan, identifying running services, registries and rules, evaluating whether it is vulnerable as per standards and reporting the findings. Information about discovered security vulnerabilities are collected and presented to IT and network system managers to help them make strategic decisions and prioritize remediation efforts.
