Vulnerability Assessment
Vulnerability Assessment
This process helps ensure that web applications, server configurations, third-party integrations, and authentication mechanisms are secure and up to date. By regularly performing vulnerability assessments, organizations can proactively address security gaps, reduce the risk of data breaches, and maintain compliance with industry standards and regulations.
Our Vulnerability Assessment Include:
-
Detects software flaws, missing patches, misconfigurations, etc.
-
Scans for: Misconfigurations, outdated software, open ports, CVEs.
-
Security & Compliance
-
Audits system security, patch status, and configuration.
-
Internet-wide scanner for exposed services/devices.
-
Checks for outdated software, configuration issues, etc.
A solid vulnerability assessment should include scans of the following typical services:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q1: What is vulnerability assessment and why is it important?
-
A: Vulnerability assessment is the process of identifying, classifying, and prioritizing security weaknesses in systems, applications, and networks to reduce the risk of exploitation.
- Q2: How is vulnerability assessment different from penetration testing?
-
A: Vulnerability assessment focuses on detecting and reporting potential weaknesses, while penetration testing simulates real attacks to exploit those weaknesses and assess impact.
- Q3: What are the main types of vulnerabilities?
-
A: Vulnerabilities can include software bugs, misconfigurations, missing patches, weak passwords, open ports, and outdated systems or services.
- Q4: What tools are commonly used for vulnerability assessment?
-
A: Tools like Nessus, OpenVAS, Qualys, Rapid7 InsightVM, and Nmap are commonly used to detect and report system and network vulnerabilities.
- Q5: How often should vulnerability assessments be performed?
-
A: Regular assessments should be performed at least quarterly or after major system changes, with critical systems assessed more frequently.
