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.

Types of Vulnerability Assessments

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

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

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

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

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.

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 Microminder 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.

Following are examples of vulnerability assessment tools:

Web scanners

that can pinpoint and map out the attack surface are helpful to companies that want to secure their data.

Network scanners

are essential for web administrators who want to discover network vulnerabilities.

Protocol scanners

are designed to find defenceless protocols, ports, and other services.

Microminder'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:

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.

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

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

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.

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.
