An error in a company’s software or hardware seems like small mistake. Unfortunately, The impact is a lot bigger. If there is a vulnerability in the system, it is exposed to various risks, which means that it can be exploited. With Vulnerability Management, you prevent unnecessary risks and protect both the company’s software and hardware. In this article we tell you more about the benefits and possibilities of Vulnerability Management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Vulnerability Management?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With Vulnerability Management, you detect vulnerabilities in the network in a timely manner. By being there in time, a plan can be made to mitigate the vulnerability and you reduce the chances of a cyber attack. But there are other reasons why you should choose Vulnerability Management.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why Vulnerability Management?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With Vulnerability Management, you detect vulnerabilities in the network in a timely manner. By being there in time, a plan can be made to mitigate the vulnerability and you reduce the chances of a cyber attack. But there are other reasons why you should choose Vulnerability Management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An effective security policy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Knowledge is power. If you want to create an effective security policy, you first need to know what\u2019s going on. If this is currently lacking, it will be impossible to effectively protect your company against cyberattacks. What risks are there for the company at the moment? How can employees work safely from home? What do we do with our own devices? Is everything patched properly? Vulnerability Management provides you with the insights and answers to the questions you need to draw up an effective security policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visibility on vulnerabilities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another advantage of Vulnerability Management is that it exposes the exact number of vulnerabilities that your company inhabits. Scanning the network and systems shows where the software contains vulnerabilities. In a clear dashboard you have a clear overview of the risks. This makes it a lot easier to take action. Such a Vulnerability Management dashboard is also useful for management, since you have a direct view of what is relevant to you within the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The different options for a vulnerability scan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As we said before, Vulnerability Management gives you the insights you need to tighten security. Do you want complete insight? There are several scans you need to run to achieve that. This depends on the purpose of the scan and the desired output. A proper Vulnerability Management solution has all these functionalities. Below are a few examples of the different scans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Non-credential scan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is, as the name implies, a scan without credential. The non-credential scan gives you an overview of the different ports, protocols, and services on a host. Then the vulnerabilities and possible misconfigurations are identified. The result? You now know how hackers view the network from the outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Credential scan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scanning with credentials gives you more rights on assets\/hosts. This will give you a more complete picture of the situation. Malware, for example, is not detected by the non-credential scanner, so vulnerabilities still creep into the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agent based scanning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are looking for a complete picture of all vulnerabilities on a device, agent-based scanning is the way to go. An agent-based scan gives you real-time insight into all risks. By scanning with an agent, you also do not have to use credentials. The result? More safety and reliability.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
