Do you want to know your application or network’s digital weaknesses? Do you want to get the most complete picture of your current security infrastructure? If so, carrying out a Vulnerability Assessment will be a worthwhile tool for doing so. It provides insight into (common) vulnerabilities and offers recommendations for fixing them. Moreover, if a Pentest is deemed too rigorous, a Vulnerability Assessment will be a good alternative to get an initial picture of the situation.
A Vulnerability Assessment uses a set of tools to assess the extent to which a particular component of the IT environment – for example, an application – is susceptible to known weaknesses, like unimplemented updates, missing patches or insecure default configurations. We will score every weakness we find, which will indicate the severity of the vulnerability, and we will identify steps that can be taken to mitigate the related risks.
The difference between a pentest and a Vulnerability Assessment is that the former involves an attempt to actually break in (hack), while a Vulnerability Assessment involves identifying vulnerabilities through automated tooling. In other words: the vulnerabilities are exposed, but not exploited. Click here for more information about our Pentest services.
We recommend that every company should carry out a Vulnerability Assessment several times a year. This maintains an understanding of the environment’s status and enables the company to keep the environment up to date. Keeping an environment up to date is important because updates are released at short intervals and many of these updates are also security-related. Furthermore, a Vulnerability Assessment is a means of determining whether control processes – like patch management – are effective in practice.
Cuccibu gebruikt een set aan automatische tools om in beeld te brengen in hoeverre een omgeving vatbaar is voor bekende kwetsbaarheden. Dit kan een webapplicatie zijn of een gehele infrastructuur. De gevonden kwetsbaarheden, maar zeker ook de geconstateerde effectieve beveiligingsmaatregelen, worden verwerkt in een rapportage. De rapportage beschrijft de gevonden kwetsbaarheden met aanbevelingen om deze te verhelpen. Bovendien wordt per kwetsbaarheid concreet beschreven welke risico’s voor de organisatie deze meebrengt. Uiteraard kan Cuccibu ook ondersteunen bij het daadwerkelijk verhelpen van de kwetsbaarheden.
