What is Vulnerability Assessment Services

Vulnerability assessments assist in pinpointing bugs and threats in the IT environment before cyberpunks do.

As humans, we all make mistakes, and since software applications are created by us, it is likely to have bugs and errors which may have been ignored during software testing. While some bugs might not cause serious damage, others may pose severe security issues.

A security breach might occur due to loopholes in security procedures or flaws in internal controls. Cybercriminals are continually on the lookout for security defects to exploit. They scout for vulnerable entry points to access the company's sensitive data. The hackers then utilise this sensitive information to slander the company or wreak havoc. So, if you do not want your firm to fall prey to these hackers, you must fortify these weak points.

Vulnerability assessments assist in pinpointing bugs and threats in the IT environment before cyberpunks do. Thus, these reviews help provide security teams and other stakeholders with the information they need to analyse and prioritise risks for potential remediation. With a thorough vulnerability assessment, you can be confident that your systems and sensitive data are guarded against unauthorised entry and data breaches.

Types of Vulnerability Assessments

Several different vulnerability tests can be used to assess the security of a system.

Database tests

Database evaluations are performed to detect vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in databases. These tests also aid in improving security by protecting sensitive data.

Network-based tests

These scans are performed on wireless and wired networks to uncover vulnerabilities in network security.

Web application tests

Security flaws can be uncovered using front-end automated vulnerability screening tools or static/dynamic source code analysis.

Wireless network tests

Cyberpunks can breach company Wi-Fi networks to access confidential information. A wireless network test scans and validates a firm's network to identify fraudulent access points.

Host-based tests

These scans help find and exploit security vulnerabilities in servers, workstations, and other network hosts. A host-based scan typically examines exposed ports and services and can give insight into the system's configuration settings and patch management.

Tools for Vulnerability Assessment

Vulnerability analysis of the company's overall IT environment must be performed regularly.

Frequent scanning will aid in the discovery of new and known threats. The most straightforward approach is to use specific inspection tools to automate the scans.

Additionally, organisations should consider using plugins in their vulnerability assessment process, such as scans of content management systems (CMS). To ensure that vulnerability scans are performed correctly, your firm will need more resources and time. This is where Mindfire comes in! Our cyber specialists are dedicated to keeping your data safe and secure. We will automatically scan your attack surface daily for vulnerabilities and provide solutions to keep those pesky cybercriminals away.

Mindfire's 5-Step Vulnerability Analysis Process

In 2021 alone, over 25,223 various software and web applications were affected by vulnerabilities.

As astounding as this figure may sound to people unfamiliar with cybersecurity, numbers like these no longer raise our eyebrows. Many organisations fall victim to hackers because they lack fundamental security practices. Even if businesses have cybersecurity measures in place, they may not be testing for the latest methods that hackers use to break in.

Our Vulnerability Assessment Process can help your business secure its data and systems by identifying vulnerabilities and implementing countermeasures. The 5-Step process is outlined below:

Identify vulnerabilities

We first conduct various vulnerability scans to identify susceptibilities. These include penetration test results, network assessments, firewall logs and other threat detection tests. After analysing these scans, we highlight irregularities that may grant access and lead to a cyber attack.

Remediation

We fix any security issues identified during the risk assessment process. Typically, this is a collaborative effort between our various departments, who are responsible for determining the most cost-effective way to address vulnerabilities.

Mitigation

It refers to dealing with vulnerabilities that remediation cannot fix. Our team of cyber professionals helps reduce the risk of a vulnerability being exploited or the aftermath of an attack.

 

Categorise the threats

We then examine the discovered vulnerabilities to see if they can be exploited and assess them based on the level of security risk.

Risk assessment

Our team will consider wormability and other risks when deciding which vulnerabilities to mitigate or remediate.
