How does Vulnerability Scanning work for business?

Vulnerability scanning leverages specialist software deployed within your network. This can be installed on a server of your choice or on a dedicated device provided by Global 4. Once deployed, the software runs automated scans, referencing a vast catalogue containing billions of threat references for known vulnerabilities.

The process is highly efficient, as the software systematically scans your computer systems, networks, and applications, identifying any security weaknesses. These scans are comprehensive, covering everything from outdated software to misconfigurations that could be exploited by attackers.

After the scans, the results are analysed to prioritise remediation efforts. You can focus on the most critical vulnerabilities first, address specific endpoints or applications, or even respond to recent high-profile threats that have made headlines. Our expert team then takes the necessary actions to remediate these vulnerabilities, ensuring that your security posture remains strong.

Taking the proactive approach to your Cybersecurity.

Vulnerability scanning is an essential part of maintaining robust security for your systems, data, employees, and customers.

Unpatched vulnerabilities are a common entry point for cybercriminals, leading to data breaches and other security incidents. By identifying and closing these gaps before they can be exploited, vulnerability scanning helps you stay ahead of potential threats.

This proactive approach is crucial in today’s cyber landscape, where even a small security flaw can lead to significant consequences.

60% of breaches linked to unpatched vulnerabilities

According to a study by the Ponemon Institute, 60% of data breaches were linked to vulnerabilities for which a patch was available but not applied.

Average time to patch critical vulnerabilties

The Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) notes that it takes an average of 45 days to patch critical vulnerabilities. Regular scanning can help shorten this window by identifying vulnerabilities as soon as they arise.

Annual new vulnerabilities discovered

The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records over 30,000 new vulnerabilities each year. Continuous vulnerability scanning ensures that your systems are protected against the latest threats.

How can vulnerability scanning help?

Proactive Risk Management

Regular vulnerability scanning enables your organisation to identify and address security gaps before they can be exploited, significantly reducing the risk of cyberattacks and data breaches.

Compliance and Regulatory Adherence

Many industry regulations and security standards require regular vulnerability assessments. Implementing automated scanning helps you meet these requirements, avoiding potential fines and ensuring that your organisation remains compliant.

Enhanced Data Protection

By continuously monitoring and addressing vulnerabilities, you demonstrate a commitment to data protection. This not only safeguards sensitive information but also builds trust with customers, partners, and stakeholders.

Improved Security Posture

Vulnerability scanning strengthens your overall security measures by providing a clear view of where your systems are most vulnerable. This allows for targeted improvements that enhance your organisation’s resilience against cyber threats.

Increased Stakeholder Confidence

Regular scanning shows stakeholders that your organisation takes cybersecurity seriously, which can be a key factor in building and maintaining business relationships.
