Vulnerability Scans and Assessments
Remove your blind spots. Gain visibility and insight into your network weaknesses, without breaking the bank
What is a Vulnerability Assessment?
Resilience [noun] - the capacity to withstand or to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness.
Our vulnerability assessments are able to identify and evaluate the resilience of your cyber security, quickly and cost effectively. Our semi-automatic scanning and assessment methods can help you to triage cyber security threats and allow you to focus your efforts and close in on vulnerabilities with ruthless effectiveness and speed.

What's The Difference Between a Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Test?
A vulnerability assessment, commonly known as a vulnerability scan, is an integral component of a robust cyber security strategy. A vulnerability assessment involves a systematic review, leveraging automated tools, to identify and prioritise potential security weaknesses in a business's network, systems, or applications.
This proactive approach allows for preemptive mitigation of vulnerabilities before potential exploitation.
On the other hand, a penetration test involves simulated cyber-attacks conducted by skilled professionals who attempt to exploit vulnerabilities identified during the assessment, emulating the tactics of real-world adversaries. A penetration test involves far more manual time and effort and the costs reflect this. A vulnerability assessment can be thought of as “pentest lite”.
Our vulnerability assessments use the most current vulnerability scanning tools to locate your weaknesses in the blink of an eye.
Vulnerability Assessment
Vs.
Identifies known vulnerabilities in systems and networks.
Focus
Uses automated tools to scan for potential weaknesses.
Process
Typically covers a broader range of systems and assets.
Depth
Does not attempt to exploit vulnerabilities.
Exploitation
Produces a list of vulnerabilities with severity ratings.
Output
Conducted more regularly (e.g., weekly, monthly).
Frequency
Generally less expensive than penetration testing.
Cost
Penetration Test
Simulates real-world attacks to exploit vulnerabilities.
Involves manual techniques and skilled ethical hackers.
Often targets specific systems or applications.
Attempts to exploit vulnerabilities to assess their impact.
Provides a detailed report of exploited vulnerabilities and recommendations for remediation.
Conducted less frequently (e.g., annually, after major changes).
Generally more expensive than vulnerability scanning.
