Risk Vulnerability Management

How risk-based vulnerability management 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

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.
