Network vulnerability scans play a crucial role in safeguarding networks. The process involves both external vulnerability scanning — a scan from the outside to check your network’s firewall and other “perimeter” defenses — and internal vulnerability scanning — a scan that tests every device on your network. Internal vulnerability scans not only look at your servers and workstations but also check laptops, mobile devices, printers, network phones and anything else internally networked.

 The scanning process is identical to what hackers do when they search for weaknesses on a targeted network. The scans detect any known vulnerability and send an alert after each scan with details on the vulnerable devices and nature of the weaknesses. This is critically important because unless you find and fix the root cause of the problem, it leaves your systems inside the network vulnerable to attack.

New bugs and vulnerabilities are identified daily and can exist on any device on your network — both public-facing computers and systems inside the network. Vulnerabilities often remain unchecked for weeks, months or even longer, increasing the likelihood that a random check of your system by hackers will yield a payday for them and a nightmare for you.

• Vulnerabilities can exist on your network for years before they’re exploited.

• Proactively scanning for vulnerabilities can significantly reduce your security risk profile.

• Identifying and closing vulnerabilities before they’re exploited can save your organization time, money, and frustration.

• Protecting your uptime and proactively removing hacker footholds is good for the customer experience and employee morale.

Regular assessment of your network is essential to gauge your cybersecurity effectiveness. A network penetration test (pen test) is a security test in which experts attempt to hack into your network to identify potential vulnerabilities that malicious actors could exploit.

Cost-effective and efficient, our advanced network penetration testing mirrors actual cyberattacks to test the effectiveness of your security preparedness. Get on the offensive and fortify your defenses by finding and fixing weaknesses and vulnerabilities before malicious hackers do.

Traditional assessments have limitations and can only demonstrate a point-in-time snapshot of your network. Our service performs regular full-scale network penetration tests to ensure your network stays secure and resistant to cyberattacks.

• It’s more efficient: Cutting-edge, next-gen technology leads to more efficient pen testing.

• It’s more comprehensive: Deeper investigation of the network leads to more detailed tests and results.

• It’s proactive: Stay ahead of evolving threats through regular assessments.
