Vulnerability Assessments & Penetration tests

Providing you with critical security information in a relevant way

SSS’ Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing helps you answer these difficult questions:

1. How secure and compliant is my network?

2. What are the top actions we can take right now to improve security and achieve compliance?

3. Is our overall security program effective?

We tie our findings into your security posture and risk assessment information to ensure the information you receive is of business relevance.

With network vulnerability assessment, you can find the weak spots in your critical assets and take corrective action before attackers exploit them to sabotage your business or steal your confidental data.

Constant application updates and changes to application and system configurations can introduce vulnerabilities and leave you susceptible to an attack, even if you are keeping your security controls up to date. To keep your data secure, you must continuously scan your systems and devices to detect vulnerabilities as they arise.

Once detected, you must assess the potential threat of those vulnerabilities and prioritize your remediation activities to deal with the greatest threats first. This is no small task, as you must consider multiple factors:

How business-critical or sensitive is the vulnerable asset?
Have any intrusions or exploits been attempted on the vulnerable asset?
How is the vulnerability being exploited by attackers in the wild?
