Vulnerability Assessment
Cybercriminals work as hard, if not harder than you to exploit potential weaknesses in IT infrastructure.
Vulnerabilities can include misconfigurations, outdated software, unpatched components, and they serve as potential access points for malicious entry into your IT ecosystem.
In the past 12 months, cyberattacks in the UK have risen 39%.
The number of businesses suffering from cyberattacks is rising. Last year 29,000 global vulnerabilities were identified, with each of these affecting thousands of businesses. The enormity of this problem can overwhelm many IT teams, whether in-house or external. Consequently, businesses are increasingly turning to regular vulnerability assessments to promptly detect common vulnerabilities and address them before malicious actors can exploit them.
Safeguarding your business has never been more critical. Our vulnerability assessment service offers a proactive approach to cyber security, identifying flaws in your network through a Vulnerability Scan process, followed by a comprehensive and pragmatic report prepared by our team to highlight the risks and provide practical and commercially sensible recommendations.
Our vulnerability assessment
Led by our highly experienced Technical Director and Infrastructure team. We add value as we don’t stop at running a vulnerability scan. Instead, we go the extra mile by pragmatically analysing the results and providing sensible, commercially aware advice and recommendations.
This report highlights the vulnerabilities within your network and offers concrete recommendations for remedial actions. We won’t simply hand you the scan results and walk away, leaving you to navigate the complexities of cybersecurity on your own. If you require assistance in implementing these actions, we can look to arrange this for you through our fully Managed IT Service provision.
Benefits
By opting for a vulnerability assessment, your business will benefit from the following:
- Identifying weaknesses: Vulnerability assessments help your business to identify weaknesses in a system, network, or application. By thoroughly cataloguing potential areas of concern, your business can proactively address these issues before they’re exploited.
- Risk prioritisation: These assessments prioritise vulnerabilities based on their severity and potential impact on your business. This helps you to focus your IT team’s efforts on addressing the most critical issues and optimising resource allocation.
- Compliance and regulation: Many industries and regulations require businesses, like yours, to conduct regular vulnerability assessments to ensure data security and compliance. Conducting these assessments demonstrates a commitment to meeting legal and industry standards.
- Cost reduction: By addressing vulnerabilities proactively, your business can avoid the financial fallout of data breaches, downtime, and recovery efforts. Vulnerability assessments save your business money in the long run by preventing costly security incidents.
- Enhanced security awareness: Regular assessments promote a culture of security awareness within your business. Employees become more vigilant, understanding the importance of safeguarding sensitive information and systems.
