How risk-based vulnerability management from Zen can protect your business
The Managed Vulnerability Assessment Service from Zen provides regular assessments of your IT infrastructure to identify your exposure to 'known' vulnerabilities - the most frequent method used by hackers to gain access to your organisation.
Forming part of a range of information security and assurance services, the vulnerability management program represents a highly impactful step to reduce your security exposure, builds a roadmap for further improvement and focuses your security spend/resources in the right areas.
The service includes a clear, in-depth report, categorised by vulnerability risk, with expert recommendations and next actions.
Experienced testers gather vulnerability data to assess the state of current security controls.
What we do
How we conduct your risk based analysis
Internal vulnerability scans
Conducted on-site or remotely from within the corporate firewall, an Internal Vulnerability Scan detects security issues such as unpatched (or unsupported) software, applications and operating systems, or incomplete roll-out of security technologies.
The internal scan quickly identifies known security vulnerabilities including both Windows and non-Windows-based vulnerabilities –and will help to identify critical issues, particularly if no previous vulnerability assessment programme is in place.
External vulnerability scans
An External Vulnerability Scan assesses your security from an Internet-based (external) viewpoint – the viewpoint of a typical hacker.
The external vulnerability scan focuses on external-facing IP addresses, detecting vulnerabilities including open ports, application-level weaknesses and weak credentials for protocols including SMTP, POP3, HTTP and VPN.
Why scan for vulnerabilities?
A vulnerability scan is a technical security assessment using a set of tools to scan your network for known vulnerabilities (e.g. open ports, unpatched security updates).
A vulnerability scan (Internal and External) is a requirement for the government-backed Cyber Essentials PLUS scheme. It is often a feature of due diligence and compliance audits of businesses by third parties.
It is important to remember that a vulnerability scan provides a detailed snapshot of your vulnerabilities at a point in time – so should be used as part of an ongoing vulnerability and patch management programme.
What you'll receive from us
Following our proven, risk-based approach to vulnerability assessment, we will produce a targeted report that can help you assess, develop and refine your vulnerability management processes. Your detailed, risk-based report will include:
Summary
Overview of key threats and business risks, in a high-level format suitable for non-technical Directors.
Technical
Detailed technical report, highlighting your organisation’s exposure to known internal and external vulnerabilities.
Risk scoring
Report includes a common vulnerability scoring system to rate issues discovered, based on severity and remediation impact.
Priority plan and next actions
A prioritised action plan based on potential risk to emphasise the most effective course of action.
Cyber security report
The Cyber Security Report provides an overall review of your cyber security program and practices. It is constructed using data pulled from interviews and workshops, documentation reviews and automated scanning tools in a consultation process that lasts around five days.
It will measure your security maturity using a tailored questionnaire and by various automated scans of security-related data.
The cyber security report will also identify vulnerabilities and security weaknesses within your organisation.
Action plan
The action plan will present a security improvement initiative based on:
- Review of existing security controls, processes and tools
- Vulnerability scans and reports from existing tooling
- Detailed security posture report
- Report on recommended remediation steps
- Roadmap and proposal report
What the service covers
