Vulnerability Management and Assessment

Vulnerability Assessment Management is an in-depth process aimed at detecting and eliminating potential weak points in the company’s IT infrastructure. With countless interconnected components — servers and user stations to databases or application software — protecting data has never been so complex yet indispensable for businesses. Vulnerability Management is an integral part of ensuring complete security for a company’s IT infrastructure, which can include an array of components that require constant vigilance.

Our team provides an extensive evaluation of the security status surrounding a customer’s infrastructure. We investigate available open sources plus conduct external scans to determine any possible vulnerabilities. After analyzing results and performing risk assessments, we further classify these identified weak points before carrying out tests for validation — ultimately providing clear data-driven evidence as tangible proof of our findings.

1.1 We are chosen by industry leaders
1.2 Vulnerability Management Stages
01

Passive identification of known vulnerabilities entails scanning or monitoring an organization’s systems to identify any existing risks before they can be exploited. This process is typically automated and involves regularly analyzing computer logs, network traffic, system configurations, and user accounts for anything that looks suspicious.

02

Active identification of vulnerabilities in specific, cyclical time windows involves regularly performing scans to check for new threats and identify any new security risks that may have arisen since the previous scan was completed. This helps ensure that all potential weak points within a system are identified and addressed before attackers can exploit them.

03

Analysis of detected vulnerabilities (confirmation of availability, risk assessment of use) to determine their severity and risk level involves verifying whether any identified threats actually exist and if so, determining the severity and scope of each threat's potential impact on the system or network in question.

04

Development of recommendations. After completing the initial assessment of the detected vulnerabilities, the RNB Team team develops recommendations for addressing them. The goal is to create an action plan which preserves the integrity and confidentiality of the organization’s data while minimizing disruption resulting from implementing countermeasures against identified threats.

1.3 What Does a Client Get?
01

Report for a management team that includes the goal and description of the service offered, the gradation of the level of risks, and all the specific information about the discovered vulnerabilities, threats, and the potential repercussions of their impact on the company's information assets.

02

A detailed report for IT or IS specialists provides data on vulnerabilities in networks that could allow attackers to breach security and gain leverage. In addition to describing the vulnerabilities found, it contains recommendations for closing valid vulnerabilities found.

03

An elaborate vision of the state of business security, the effectiveness of protection systems, the level of staff involvement in information security, and a useful tool for enhancing its protection, as well as guidance on addressing the vulnerabilities discovered and enhancing the information security management system.

04

Extensive evaluation and continuous support. As a result, our clients receive an extensive evaluation of the security status and further security maintenance necessary to protect businesses from cybercrime. This evaluation includes a comprehensive assessment of the system's security measures, a review of the security rules and regulations in place, and regular security maintenance and monitoring.
