Vulnerability Analysis

What is a Vulnerability Analysis?

A Vulnerability Analysis is a systematic process of identifying, evaluating, and prioritising security weaknesses (vulnerabilities) in a computer system, network, or application. This is the first thing we do before an official Penetration Test.

Why is Vulnerability Analysis important?

A Vulnerability Analysis is crucial for maintaining a strong security posture because:

• ‍Proactive risk mitigation: It helps organisations identify and address vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by cyber criminals, thereby preventing potential breaches and data loss‍
• Compliance: Many industry regulations and standards require organisations to conduct regular vulnerability assessments to demonstrate their commitment to safeguarding sensitive data‍
• Cost savings: Addressing vulnerabilities early on is generally less expensive and disruptive than dealing with the aftermath of a security breach‍
• Improved security posture: By proactively identifying andmitigating vulnerabilities, organisations can continuously enhance theiroverall security posture.
