Vulnerability Assessment
If you are undertaking a new project upgrade,
change of system configuration, policy upgrade or development then
it might be the ideal time to conduct a Vulnerability Assessment to
ensure your planned improvements are being implemented in the real
or electronic world.
Vulnerability Assessment is the process of examining the installed
network and systems and identifying the potential vulnerable
components and topology. This is not a hacking type methodology as
tests are undertaken with both full knowledge of the internal
network staff and enhanced privileges are used to reduce the time on
site.
This is quicker than a penetration test and carries a much lower
level of risk. The results are clear and allow easy integration to an
internal component upgrade (or security) programme.
