Vulnerability Assessment

A holistic assessment of your networks, keeping cyberpunks at bay

Automated tools examining your IT environment for vulnerabilities,
discrepancies, and malware

Our vulnerability assessment provides a broad examination of potential vulnerabilities present within your software, networks, applications, and configurations. Conducted by our skilled professionals utilizing industry-standard scanning tools, these assessments offer a comprehensive snapshot of cybersecurity risks.
Regular vulnerability assessments are essential for organizations to maintain an up-to-date understanding of their security posture. They can be conducted at varying intervals, including daily scans, enabling organizations to maintain a real-time view of their security status.
Compared to full infrastructure penetration tests, our vulnerability assessments are more cost-effective. Their scalability allows businesses to obtain a significant volume of high-quality results at a lower price point. This affordability makes vulnerability assessments an accessible option for organizations seeking to enhance their cybersecurity measures without incurring excessive costs.

How We Do It

When conducting a vulnerability assessment for your network, WDP2 adheres to a streamlined methodology comprising four primary phases

01.

Scope Definition

This initial phase involves determining the boundaries and objectives of the vulnerability assessment. WDP2 works closely with clients to identify the specific assets, systems, or networks to be assessed. Clear communication and agreement on the scope ensure that the assessment targets the areas of highest priority and relevance to the client’s needs.

02.

Vulnerability Identification

In this phase, WDP2 employs a variety of tools and techniques to uncover vulnerabilities within the defined scope. Automated scanning tools are then used to systematically scan networks, systems, and applications for known vulnerabilities. Concurrently, manual testing is conducted to identify vulnerabilities that automated tools may overlook, such as logical flaws or misconfigurations. This comprehensive approach ensures that a wide range of potential vulnerabilities, including common vulnerabilities like outdated software, misconfigured servers, and insecure coding practices, are identified.

03.

Prioritization and Remediation

Once vulnerabilities have been identified, WDP2 prioritizes them based on their severity and potential impact on the client’s systems and data. Vulnerabilities are categorized according to industry-standard severity ratings, such as the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). WDP2 works closely with the client to develop a remediation plan that addresses the most critical vulnerabilities first. Remediation activities may include applying patches, reconfiguring systems, updating software, or implementing additional security controls.

04.

Reporting

The final phase of the vulnerability assessment involves documenting the findings and recommendations in a comprehensive report. WDP2 provides clients with detailed reports summarizing the vulnerabilities identified, their severity ratings, and recommended remediation actions.

Benefits Of Vulnerability Assessment?

Other than strengthening your overall security posture, our structured methodology helps bring other benefits:

Risk Management

Spotting vulnerabilities enables organizations to prioritize and tackle potential risks, thus reducing the chances of security breaches.

Regulatory Adherence

Numerous industries uphold strict compliance standards. Regular vulnerability assessments aid organizations in meeting regulatory requirements and sidestepping legal repercussions.

Preemptive Security Measures

Taking a proactive stance on security entails identifying and rectifying vulnerabilities before they can be exploited, thereby minimizing the impact of potential cyberattacks

Reduced costs

Proactively addressing vulnerabilities proves to be more cost-efficient than dealing with the aftermath of a security breach. The financial ramifications of a breach, encompassing legal expenses and reputational harm, far surpass the expenses of preventative measures.

Types Of Vulnerability Assessment

Network Vulnerability Assessment

Focus on identifying vulnerabilities within the network infrastructure, including routers, switches, firewalls, and other network devices.

Host-Based Vulnerability Assessment

Targets vulnerabilities specific to individual systems or hosts, such as servers, workstations, and mobile devices. It involves scanning the software configurations, installed applications, and operating systems for vulnerabilities.

Web Application Vulnerability Assessment

Concentrating on web applications, this assessment aims to identify vulnerabilities like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and insecure authentication mechanisms that could be exploited by attackers.

Wireless Network Vulnerability Assessment

Evaluate the security of wireless networks, including Wi-Fi networks, to identify weaknesses that could lead to unauthorized access or data breaches

Cloud-Based Vulnerability Assessment

With the increasing adoption of cloud services, this assessment focuses on identifying vulnerabilities within cloud environments, such as misconfigurations, insecure APIs, and data exposure risks.

Physical Security Vulnerability Assessment

Examines physical security controls, such as access controls, surveillance systems, and environmental controls, to identify weaknesses that could compromise physical security.

Application Security Code Review

Rather than scanning for vulnerabilities in the deployed environment, this assessment involves reviewing the source code of applications to identify security flaws and vulnerabilities at the code level.

Wireless Network Vulnerability Assessment

Evaluate the security of wireless networks, including Wi-Fi networks, to identify weaknesses that could lead to unauthorized access or data breaches
