Vulnerability Scanning

Regularly scanning for vulnerabilities is complementary to manual Penetration Testing, providing visibility of exposure to ‘known-bad’ vulnerabilities.

This ensures that emerging exploits affecting your assets can be identified and remediated early without relying on the next scheduled test to discover. We provide cost effective security protection and vulnerability alerting, with continuous scanning to identify and remediate emerging vulnerabilities and reduce the potential window of exploitation for attackers.

Vulnerability Scanning regularly scans your technology estate to proactively identify vulnerabilities.

By combining industry-leading vulnerability management software with our own custom toolset, our in-house cyber security analysts can help you manage and remediate vulnerabilities as they emerge.

Managed vulnerability scanning provides cost effective security protection and vulnerability alerting, developed to bridge the gap between ‘automated only’ vulnerability scanning and hands on penetration testing. This provides you with a regular assessment of your organisation’s public facing infrastructure to regularly identify exploitable vulnerabilities and reduce the potential window of exploitation for attackers.

Red5 recommends Vulnerability Scanning for any organisation with changing public facing servers or websites.

Our Vulnerability Scanning service is low cost and allows for continuous visibility and management of vulnerabilities, helping to reduce the risk posed to assets as a result of internal development and external changes to the threat landscape.

One of the key limitations of Penetration Testing is that it is performed at a single point in time, typically conducted on an infrequent 6-9-month cycle. Vulnerabilities however are constantly emerging, and this can leave organisations exposed to emerging issues in the window between tests.

Managed Vulnerability Scanning reduces the risk posed by new threats and vulnerabilities as they emerge over time. That said, scanning alone will not uncover the same depth of vulnerability as with manual testing and is not a substitute for a robust security assurance programme.

Vulnerability scanning will provide regular, proactive vulnerability identification and classification, driving prioritised vulnerability remediation activities which are optimised to reduce your business’s risk exposure.

You can reduce your exposure to emerging vulnerabilities and threats and prevent attackers from leveraging critical-risk exploits in your external assets and any third-party technologies present on them. Access to Red5 analysts will also provide deeper insights by filtering false positives and improving the efficiency of remediation activities.

With a detailed report, highlighting vulnerabilities identified and recommended remedial actions prioritised by risk, managed vulnerability scanning will also help to satisfy compliance requirements and build organisation-wide confidence in the overall security posture of your digital assets.
