External Vulnerability Scans

External Vulnerability Scans

Best practice in maintaining a secure system or application is to regularly check for the presence of security breaches by using scanning tools. Because security exploits are public and widely spread on the Internet, taking advantage of known exploits is one of the easiest ways for an attacker to jeopardize a company’s system.

A2SECURE offers comprehensive vulnerability management services, both perimeter and internal, supported by market leading solutions in the discovery of this type of security problems.

Why?

Vulnerability management is considered to be the best method of defence against today’s threats. 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 in order to tackle them.

It is important to understand that the ongoing review of systems security is an essential practice to establish a first line of defense, but this activity means a workload for IT departments. Therefore, the managed service provided by A2SECURE offers our clients’ IT department the possibility to just focus on remediation duties based on risk, leaving the rest of the activities to the professional team at A2ECURE.
