A vulnerability assessment is an essential tool in your company's arsenal. Data breaches are on the rise and attacks on your network are increasing in sophistication every day. To truly protect your organization's data, you need a clear picture of what's at stake, and where you need to apply increased diligence. If you're just beginning to dive down into the massive cybersecurity discussion, these concepts may be new to you—and frankly, you're not alone. Luckily, the network security experts at Locknet® Managed IT have your back and are here to help you understand why a vulnerability assessment is so important and what it entails.
Read on.
What is a vulnerability assessment? It's a comprehensive evaluation of your organization's network to determine where there are gaps in protection and where threats could potentially gain a foothold. This may include patching that needs to be done, or software shortcomings on appliances, network infrastructure, or other 3rd party applications that could be exploited by cybercriminals to gain access to your network, capture your data, or commit other cyberattacks on your business.
When conducted properly, a vulnerability assessment not only identifies risks and potential burdens to the organization in the event of exploitation of a vulnerability, but it gives an organization the data it needs to prioritize and remediate deficiencies before the network faces an attack.
What can you expect with a vulnerability assessment? Here are the steps a vulnerability assessment may include.
At the start, your assessment will commence with software known as a vulnerability scanner. This software tests your system to ferret out any vulnerabilities based on known issues. Then, you'll receive a report that details what was found, how serious the vulnerabilities are, and how you should proceed to address those issues.
When it's time to find a network security provider to conduct vulnerability assessments and facilitate remediation, the experts at Locknet® Managed IT are here to help. Contact us to learn more about how we can protect your network from attack and exploitation of software vulnerabilities.
