When it comes to cyberthreats, the “enemy” is continually looking for opportunities to exploit vulnerabilities, which makes it difficult, if not impossible, to protect everything, all the time.
To mitigate this ever-changing threat environment, it is important that you know where your risks really are and focus resources on continually eliminating the biggest threats.
You need to know that you:
If you cannot answer these questions with a confident “yes,” then you need a vulnerability assessment to learn how severe your risk is.
When it comes to your business' security, it is important to stay proactive rather than reactive. If your organization must comply with security standards like HIPAA, SOX, and/or PCI DSS, a vulnerability assessment is more than a solid first step—it’s a necessary step, mandated by these security standards.
You can’t protect your systems if you don’t know what risks you face.
A cybersecurity vulnerability assessment is essential for discovering your risks and defining appropriate mitigation strategies that fit your company’s specific needs.
The assessment process takes time to complete as it depends on the size and complexity of your network. The assessment process is broken down into several phases to achieve the goal of understanding your company's vulnerabilities to risk, identifying areas to improve upon, and providing best practices for the security controls within your infrastructure.
Protecting your business is an ongoing process. With the ever-evolving threats cybercriminals pose it is important to maintain a risk management program to monitor your IT environment for new threats continuously.
