Vulnerability Assessment

Vulnerability assessments involve the ongoing process of identifying and categorizing cyber vulnerabilities across an organization’s IT infrastructure, including endpoints, workloads, and systems.

Typically, these assessments are automated using third-party security tools provided by vendors. These tools help organizations gain insights into their vulnerability landscape, enabling them to prioritize remediation efforts and patch vulnerabilities efficiently.

Given the risk of cyber-attacks exploiting weaknesses in IT environments, it’s crucial for organizations to proactively identify and address vulnerabilities before they are exploited. With the evolving threat landscape, organizations may face hundreds or thousands of vulnerabilities annually, making manual detection and patching impractical. Automated vulnerability assessments streamline this process, allowing teams to stay ahead of potential threats and maintain robust security posture.
