What Exactly is Vulnerabilities Assessment?

A continuous process of identifying, classifying, and mitigating cyber-threats to the IT infrastructure

It is a systematic assessment of a data system’s security problems. It analyzes whether the system is affected by any security flaws, assigns severity levels to those vulnerabilities, and recommends maintenance or remediation as needed.

Examples of risks that vulnerability assessments can help prevent:

1. SQL injection, XSS, and other code injection attacks
2. Increased location tracking as a result of insufficient authentication methods.

For example, software that ships with passwords that are easily guessable are insecure by default.

Types of Services

A vulnerability assessment can take several different formats. Among them are:

1.   Host Assessment

A cyber-attack on a critical server that has not been adequately tested or that has not been developed from a tested machine image may result in its vulnerability.

2.   Network and Wi-Fi assessments

Network and Wi-Fi regulations and practices are being evaluated to prevent unauthorized access to private and public networks and VPN services.

3.   Database Assessment

The sensitive data stored within an organization’s infrastructure is defined based on its sensitivity to attacks and configuration issues, and rogue databases or unsafe development and testing environments are identified and classified.

4.   Application Scan

Automated or static/dynamic analysis of online applications and their source code is used to uncover security vulnerabilities in web applications.

Security scanning process – Vulnerability assessment services Kenya 

In the process of doing a Vulnerability Assessment (also known as Vulnerability Scanning), our team searches for and evaluates weaknesses in your information technology infrastructure. While they will not exploit and get access to targeted assets, as would be the case in a penetration test, we will remove any false positives discovered throughout our vulnerability scanning process.

Without replicating any actual hacker attack, the purpose of Vulnerability Assessment is to swiftly detect potential weaknesses in your IT infrastructure to understand your current security posture.

Vulnerability Assessment Entails;

1.   Identification of potential vulnerabilities

The goal of this stage is to create a broad list of all of the vulnerabilities that exist in an application. Security analysts examine the security status of apps, servers, and other systems by using automated approaches or manual testing and assessing the systems under consideration as needed.

To detect security issues in software programs, professionals, for example, employ vulnerability databases, vendor security notifications, corporate financial systems, and cyber threat feeds, among other methods.

2.   Vulnerability analysis

The purpose of this stage is to determine the cause and root cause of the vulnerabilities revealed in phase one.

It helps identify the system components responsible for each vulnerability as well as the root cause. An old open-source library may cause a problem. This clearly states the corrective step – upgrading the library.

3.   Risk Evaluation

This step prioritizes the security flaws. Experts assign a severity ranking to a vulnerability based on factors such as:

• Which systems are vulnerable;
• How widespread is the problem?
• How severe is the problem?
• What kind of data is at risk?
• How will business functions be disrupted?
• The ease with which an attack or compromise can be carried out.
• Level of intensity of cyber-attack.

There is a risk of violence as a result of vulnerability.

4.   Remediation

This procedure aims to close security holes. Every vulnerability’s remedy or mitigation is determined through a collaborative effort between security staff, development, and operations teams.

For example, you might implement new security procedures, methods, or instruments.

• Attaining changes in operations and settings
• Implementation of a patch to fix a vulnerability

Assessing vulnerability is not something that can be done once. For companies, this process must be operationalized and repeated regularly. DevSecOps is a process that fosters collaboration between security, operations, and development teams.

What is the cost of a vulnerability assessment service?

In addition to the infrastructure being scanned, such as an internal network or online application, other elements influence the cost of a vulnerability scan. Depending on the amount of IPs, servers, or programs checked. Reach out to East Africa Hi Tech Solutions for a formal quote.
