Vulnerability Assessment
Vulnerability assessments involve an automated process using commercial or freely available software to provide a shallow but quick exploratory view of the network. These automated tools can miss about 40% of the security risk, so they alone do not adequately assess risk. Furthermore, about half of the findings from a vulnerability scan are false positives.
A vulnerability assessment is a complete service offering; however, it does provide some value in the early reconnaissance phase of a more comprehensive network assessment, so a vulnerability scan is part of our testing efforts. At Caesium55, manual analysis is at the heart of all of our assessments, which gives you confidence that you have a complete view of your security risk and provides tailored reporting and recommendations, enabling simple workarounds and cost-effective mitigation strategies for most security issues. Caesium55’s penetration testing service combines a vulnerability scan/assessment, a penetration test, remote password checking, manual analysis, and reporting by expert security engineers.
