Considered to be one of the best methods of defense against today’s threats, the Vulnerability Scan. These automated scans use a list of known vulnerabilities, meaning they are already known to the security community, hackers, and software vendors.
Get secured
A vulnerability scan is an automated detective tool to alert an information security program when unauthorized changes have been made to the environment. It is a crucial part of maintaining your information security and therefore should be used regularly. For example, every new piece of equipment that is deployed should have a vulnerability scan run against it and another approximately a month thereafter.
Most current successful attacks occur because of security problems, misconfigurations, services configured by default, or the absence of patches that the software manufacturer makes public, but which the IT department has not implemented. Knowing these threats early is essential to tackle them.
Regular scanning lets the organization see how effective controls and processes to secure sensitive environments are, while at the same time discovering new vulnerabilities. Vulnerability scans can also be a compliance requirement, for example in PCI DSS.

Depending on the industry you are in many governments apply regulatory compliance rules that require an internal vulnerability assessment.
Demonstrate to your business partners, regulators and suppliers that you take cyber security seriously.
Reassurance that your valuable data is as secure as possible. Threats from cyber criminals, internal threats and malware are being dealt with.
Gain expert insight into all known vulnerabilities.
To start, we will work together to define the scope and critical applications, systems and networks to be included and a non-disclosure agreement is part of this step.
01
Start
We will work together to define the scope and critical applications, systems and networks to be included and a non-disclosure agreement is part of this step. We can help you prioritize that.
02
Gathering info
All necessary information about the environment is collected and shared.
03
Scanning
We will execute a first scan of the application or network, using a combination of automated and self-written tooling to create insight about the environment and to prepare for the vulnerability scan.
04
Execution
The actual vulnerability scan is executed, while gathering information for further scanning. You receive a Preliminary Report with detailed information regarding identified issues.
05
Final report
We provide you with insight on the vulnerabilities. To resolve the vulnerabilities in a structured manner, a report is prepared specifying the complete and prioritized list of vulnerabilities.
