Assess your risks using fully-managed vulnerability assessment and security testing audits. Not knowing or understanding your IT infrastructure and web application weaknesses is no longer an option. Vulnerability assessment and management, and regularly performed penetration testing are the cornerstones of the success of the overall cybersecurity program. When performed on a regular basis, the assessments will contribute to the overall critical infrastructure risk assessment and will help remediate key IT risks.
The timely identification of vulnerabilities and threats through IT audits, and patching of network and web application vulnerabilities will minimize the risk and will help prevent:

Proven Vulnerability Assessment and IT Risk Audit Methodologies
Why Continuous Web Application and Network Security Monitoring Matters?
|
Continuous information security and vulnerability monitoring allow detecting new vulnerabilities on a variety of devices before these vulnerabilities exploited by cybercriminals. Relying on vendors to patch the vulnerable software on time may result in the catastrophic outcome as many software vendors don't patch vulnerabilities timely.

IT Audits
|
There’s no doubt that modern technologies play a significant part in our lives. That said, cyber security poses serious threats. It's one of the biggest challenges that business and government leaders are facing today. To ensure information security, you need to perform IT audits. Unfortunately, while many organizations spend a substantial amount of money on building their IT systems, they seem to neglect the importance of audits. This is how security failure takes place. If you want to protect your business from potential security breaches, read on to find out why you need audits and continuous vulnerability assessments. |
What are IT Audits?
|
Information Technology (IT) audit helps an organization evaluate the reliability of their data. It makes sure data availability is properly backed up. It also allows businesses to identify any instance of the excessive or inefficient use of IT systems. In short, an IT audit is an audit of an organization’s IT systems, operations, management, and other related processes. |
The Importance of IT Audits and Continuous Vulnerability Assessments
|
The goal of IT audits and continuous vulnerability assessments is to help companies get a comprehensive view of how secure they are. Audits allow you to measure the vulnerability of your systems and data. The more data you accumulate, the better you can improve and support your vulnerability assessment program. By looking at the information garnered from audits, you can spot areas that are exposed to the most risk and address them immediately. This will ensure that end users receive reliable, properly managed information. A secure business attracts customers and is one step ahead of the competition. Poor management of IT systems can lead to data loss or leakage, data tampering, and service disruption. When you run a business, every second counts. Did you know that the giant online retailer Amazon lost $4.8 million when the company website went down for about 40 minutes? Sometimes a tiny human mistake can cause tremendous damage to the business. Make information integrity a workplace mindset. IT audit matters not only for the people who are in charge of it but for everyone within your organization. This way everyone can cooperate while understanding the business and IT pressures. Likewise, any recommendations from the audit team will be taken seriously. Last but not least, IT audit is not a one-time thing. It must be a continuous process. Every time you introduce a new element into your business or change a certain process, you’re exposed to greater risks. This is why many businesses have problems with scaling. By relentlessly evaluating your information security, you’ll be able to organize and handle your IT infrastructure as it grows. New technologies arrive almost every day. They keep getting more advanced, faster, and better. There are also more rooms for cyber threats. As a result, every organization should make IT audits a requirement and priority. |
The Difference Between Vulnerability Assessment vs. Penetration Testing
What is Vulnerability Assessment?
Vulnerability Assessment is a process of identifying weaknesses within the software and network environments. Vulnerability assessments provide invaluable insight into the state of cybersecurity and mitigation strategies to ensure that the environment weaknesses are addressed, and are not exploited by cybercriminals.
Vulnerability assessments are generally performed using specialized software and well-defined methodologies. The results are presented in various formats depending on the audience, for example, executives generally receive executive reports with the visual representation of discovered vulnerabilities sorted by severity, while IT management receives detailed reports that include mitigation strategies and detailed recommendations concerning the vulnerability and risk management.

What is Penetration Testing?
Penetration testing is a process that mimics the actions of a cybercriminal attempting to bypass the information security controls to access sensitive data. In many cases, as a part of the penetration testing, testers assume that a hacker or a disgruntled employee has already obtained access to the network or web application.
Penetration tests are generally performed by qualified, ethical hackers based on strict testing methodologies, and the test results are communicated to the cybersecurity management and the executive teams for review and mitigation. Penetration testing reports generally include recommendations, similar to those presented as an outcome of the vulnerability assessment. More often than not, after management remediates the issues, additional testing is performed to confirm that identified issues have been resolved.
Generally, vulnerability assessments and penetration testing are performed on an annual basis. Some organizations, require either bi-annual or quarterly assessments and penetration testing. Considering the cyber threat level, many organizations will benefit from ongoing vulnerability assessments and management to prevent data breaches while reducing the overall cybersecurity risks.
