What is a Vulnerability Assessment?
A vulnerability assessment is “the process of defining, identifying, classifying and prioritising vulnerabilities in computer systems, applications and network infrastructures” (Source: Tech Target)
The process of a vulnerability assessment is intended to identify threats and the risks they pose to a business.
What does a vulnerability assessment involve?
A piece of software scans your network and looks for any areas of weakness. After the assessment is complete, you will receive a full report of the findings.
- No software is installed: No-one needs to know including your current IT provider
- No agents or probes living on your network: nothing to disrupt your system after the scan is complete
- It’s fast: a mid-sized network is scanned quickly, leaving you time to get your job done
- No commitment: once you receive the results you can work with whatever company you choose to address any weaknesses, it’s not an ongoing contract with Genesis.
