Minimise your exposure to cyber threats

Regular vulnerability scanning is a strategic, ongoing process that minimises an organisation’s exposure to cybersecurity threats. A business-critical requirement that provides independent technical assurance to meet regulator, stakeholders, and customer expectations regarding your business continuity and data loss protection.

Ensure your data remains secure

Cyberattacks ranging from data breaches to ransomware and beyond can result in dire consequences, both financial and reputational. Furthermore, the interconnectivity of devices has expanded the attack surface. How do you ensure ongoing effective safeguards to protect data and critical infrastructure underpinning your business, and preserve the trust of clients and partners that their data remains secure?

Understanding Your Vulnerabilities

A vulnerability refers to a weakness or flaw present in an IT system, software application, or network infrastructure that can be exploited by an attacker to carry out a successful attack. They can come from various sources, including design flaws, configuration mistakes, coding errors, or even employee actions. Attackers actively search for these vulnerabilities and exploit one or more of them, either individually or in combination, to accomplish their objective. Multiple layers of vulnerabilities can be exploited to mount an attack, with vulnerabilities in public-facing assets serving as a gateway to vulnerabilities in assets behind the organisation’s firewall.

Benefits of Regular Vulnerability Scanning

Vulnerability scanning must be a regular and ongoing process, which allows an organisation to stay ahead of emerging threats and new vulnerabilities allowing early detection of weakness, efficient risk management, compliance and regulatory adherence, time and cost savings, and enhanced security posture, protecting your cashflow from interruption and key data from loss or inaccessibility with all the potential ramifications.
