Frequently asked questions
What is a vulnerability scanning service?
A vulnerability scanning service is a tool that helps organisations identify security weaknesses in computer systems, networks, or applications. Tools like V-Scan will scan and monitoring a network for known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and potential security risks that could be exploited by cybercriminals to gain unauthorised access to accounts and systems. The service uses automated tools to scan and analyse the target system, providing a report of identified vulnerabilities along with recommendations for remediation. This in turn helps organisations proactively identify and address security issues, reducing the risk of potential cyber-attacks or data breaches.
How does vulnerability scanning work?
The vulnerability scanning service will work to thoroughly examine all computer systems, networks, or applications in an organisation. Here is a general overview of how vulnerability scanning typically works:
1. Discovery: The tool will first exam the target system to detect the segments that need to be thoroughly scanned for any potential threats. This can be done by specifying IP addresses, domain names, or network ranges.
2. Port scanning: The tool scans the target systems to locate any open ports and the services that are running on those ports. This helps determine possible entry points for cybercriminals looking to gain unauthorised access.
3. Service identification: The scanning tool will identify the specific services running on the open ports and crawl through the application to search for any weaknesses. This information helps in understanding the potential vulnerabilities linked to those services.
4. Vulnerability detection: The tool will compare the identified services and their iterations against a vast database of known network vulnerabilities. It checks for any security flaws, misconfigurations, or weaknesses that could be exploited by attackers.
5. Reporting: The scanning tool will generate a detailed report that lists the identified vulnerabilities along with their severity levels. It will also where required provide recommendations for remediation or mitigation strategies to strengthen network security.
6. Continuous monitoring: Vulnerability scanning software is run on a regular basis to ensure ongoing security and combat the ever-evolving cyber security threats. This helps organisations stay aware of new vulnerabilities that may arise due to software updates, configuration changes, or emerging threats.
It’s important to note that network vulnerability scanning is an automated process that occurs monthly. It is recommended to conduct vulnerability scanning as part of a comprehensive cyber security program that includes other security measures like patch and policy management, penetration testing, dark web monitoring and cyber security awareness training.
Why do businesses need vulnerability scanning?
Vulnerability scanning is an essential tool for businesses looking to continuously monitor the health of their network and combat any vulnerabilities that leave them open to a potential attack. Here are the key reasons businesses should adopt monthly vulnerability scanning services:
- Identify and mitigate security risks: Businesses can identify potential security weaknesses in their systems, networks, and applications. By proactively scanning for weaknesses, businesses will receive a detailed report of their network’s health can address these issues before they are exploited by cybercriminals, reducing the risk of data breaches, theft, or other cyber-attacks.
2. Compliance requirements: Many industries have detailed compliance regulations that require regular vulnerability assessments. By conducting regular vulnerability scanning, organisations can ensure they meet these specifications and avoid potential penalties or legal consequences.
3. Protect customer data: Organisations handle sensitive customer information on a daily basis, such as financial data or personal details. Vulnerability scanning will identify vulnerabilities that could expose this data to unauthorised access. By addressing these vulnerabilities, businesses can better maintain their trust and protect their customers’ information.
4. Safeguard business reputation: A data breach or security incident can have severe consequences for the reputation of an organisation. By adopting regular vulnerability scanning and taking the appropriate measures to address them, businesses can demonstrate their dedication to security and can maintain a positive reputation among customers, partners, and stakeholders.
5. Stay ahead of emerging threats: The cyber security landscape is constantly evolving, with new vulnerabilities and attack techniques emerging constantly. Vulnerability scanning helps businesses stay updated on the latest threats and network vulnerabilities, allowing them to proactively address potential risks and stay one step ahead of attackers.
Overall, vulnerability scanning is a critical component of any cyber security strategy, helping businesses identify and address security weaknesses, comply with regulations, protect customer data, maintain their reputation, and stay resilient against emerging threats.
How often should businesses scan for vulnerabilities?
The frequency at which businesses should scan for vulnerabilities depends on various factors, including the size of the organisation, the complexity of its IT infrastructure and network, and the level of risk acceptance. Generally, it is recommended that businesses conduct vulnerability scans regularly and consistently. For smaller organisations with less complex systems or those with limited resources, a monthly scanning schedule will be appropriate. Larger enterprises or those operating in high-risk industries may benefit from more frequent scans, such as weekly or even daily. Additionally, it is crucial to perform vulnerability scanning after any significant IT updates or environment changes, such as system updates or new software installations.
By conducting regular vulnerability scans, businesses can proactively identify and address security weaknesses, reducing the likelihood of successful cyber-attacks and protecting sensitive data and assets.
What is the primary goal of a vulnerability scan?
The primary goal of a vulnerability scanning service is to identify and assess potential security weaknesses or vulnerabilities within a computer system, network, or application on a regular basis. By conducting a vulnerability scan, organisations aim to proactively identify areas of potential risk that could be exploited by cybercriminals. The scan helps to uncover known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, or weak security practices that could lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, or other security incidents. The ultimate objective is to provide organisations with a comprehensive understanding of their security posture, enabling them to prioritize and address vulnerabilities promptly to mitigate potential risks and enhance overall cyber security.
What is a vulnerability assessment?
A vulnerability assessment is only as good as the last time your systems were checked. Within an hour, your organisation could be at risk again.
A vulnerability scan enables your organisation to always understand where your network’s points of weakness are and gain much greater ROI than a one-off vulnerability assessment.
