Vulnerability Management Services
Stop breaches before they occur. Identify and patch security vulnerabilities for a more secure network.
As companies struggle to keep up with a constantly evolving threat landscape, many (both the company or the IT Service Provider) often resort to a reactive approach, constantly chasing threats and responding to potential incidents. Reducing risk in the most efficient and effective manner requires a new approach to proactively understand your attack surface, better prioritize your efforts, and measure and communicate this progress over time.
Your attack surface is growing, always changing and more interconnected than ever. This presents a monumental challenge for your business and your IT Service provider. While attackers probe for the weakest link in your sprawling attack surface—and move laterally in search of valuable assets— you and your IT provider are constrained by siloed, incomplete attack surface views, and must rely on just-in-time detection and response to react to attackers’ moves. With specialized security tools offering an incomplete picture, it can feel impossible to answer the question:
“How secure are we?”
By 2026, organizations prioritizing their security investments based on a continuous exposure management program will be three times less likely to suffer from a breach.

Three Essential Questions Every Business Should Ask:
Where are we exposed?
Where should we prioritize based on risk?
Are we reducing our exposure over time?
What is Vulnerability Management?
Vulnerability management is the process of identifying, assessing, prioritizing, and mitigating security vulnerabilities in systems and networks. Vulnerabilities are essentially “holes” in applications that enable a hacker to breach a business and move internally to find the holy grail of private and regulated data and steal it. By proactively identifying and addressing such security gaps, the goal is to minimize the risk of a breach before they can be exploited by attackers.
The process typically involves several steps:
- Asset Discovery: Identifying all the hardware, software, and network components that need to be assessed.
- Vulnerability Scanning: Using automated tools to scan for vulnerabilities in the identified assets.
- Risk Assessment: Evaluating the severity of each vulnerability and assessing the likelihood of exploitation.
- Prioritization: Assigning a priority level to each vulnerability based on risk.
- Remediation Planning: Developing a plan to address vulnerabilities, including the most critical ones first.
- Reporting: Providing a detailed report on vulnerabilities and remediation plans.

Examples of Vulnerabilities
So, what gaps can a vulnerability assessment help uncover? Here are a few examples:
- Unpatched software: Software that has not been updated with the latest security patches are vulnerable to exploitation. It’s a common route for attackers to gain access to a system or network.
- Weak passwords: Weak or easily guessable passwords increases the risk of a security breach. For attackers, it’s the equivalent of breaking down an open door.
- Misconfigured systems: When a system is not configured correctly, it may be exposing sensitive information, leaving the organization vulnerable to an attack.
- Outdated hardware: If the hardware is obsolete, the risk of an attack goes up due to outdated firmware and software.
- Social engineering: The overwhelming number of security breaches are the result of employee mistakes. Vulnerability management can help identify lack of employee training and awareness around social engineering attacks, such as phishing or spear-phishing attacks.
