How Vulnerability Assessments Work:
Scanning for Weaknesses – The assessment uses specialised tools to scan your systems, software and network for vulnerabilities. These could be outdated software, unpatched security flaws or misconfigurations that could be exploited by cybercriminals.
Prioritising Risks– Once vulnerabilities are found, they are ranked based on how severe they are. Critical vulnerabilities that could lead to significant harm (like data breaches) are given top priority, while lower-risk issues are still addressed but may be less urgent.
Fixing Vulnerabilities – After identifying the weaknesses, your IT team can work to fix them. This might include installing updates, improving configurations or applying additional security measures to prevent attacks.
Regular Assessments – Just like health check-ups, vulnerability assessments need to be done regularly to keep up with new threats and changes in your systems. Regular assessments help ensure that your defences stay strong over time.
In short, a vulnerability assessment helps you stay one step ahead of potential cyber threats by identifying and fixing weaknesses before they can be exploited. Take advantage of Inventas’ expertise with our vulnerability assessment services and protect your business against cyber threats.
