What is it?

Vulnerability Assessments are regular scans which aim to identify weaknesses within the IT infrastructure which could be used to gain access to your organisation.

Why do it?

By obtaining a regular view of your security posture, you can identify areas for improvement and track your progress in securing your infrastructure. VA's support a proactive, rather than reactive focus on information security and identify potential exploits which could be used by unauthorised users.

What it means to your organisation?

By undertaking regular vulnerability assessments your organisation can identify systems which are vulnerable through poor patching practice and benefit from a clear audit trail to track improvements.

Why work with MWR InfoSecurity?

Unlike many organisations offering scanning, we work with a mix of automated testing, to provide consistency, supported by manual testing and tools to discover vulnerabilities. We also scan all 65,356 ports on your host to ensure that we identify all Internet facing services. Vulnerability scans may be run on a weekly or monthly cycle, dependent on client needs. Reports and recommendations are delivered through our secure portal "Fasthold". This provides you with a quick and easy way to compare reports and identify improvements. Fasthold also give you a clear audit trail and evidence of security testing.

MWR InfoSecurity deploys multiple scanners to perform vulnerability assessments. Our experience enables us to effectively evaluate and compare the strengths and weaknesses of each scanner so that we can use the best tools for each client.
