A vulnerability assessment is a structured approach to identify and assign severity levels to as many security defects as possible in the timeframe provided. This process may involve automated and manual techniques with varying degrees of rigor and an emphasis on comprehensive coverage. Our vulnerability assessments use a risk-based approach to target different layers of technology, the most common being host-, network-, and application-layer reviews.
Anvaya’s Security Vulnerability Assessment Process
Anvaya Solutions provides a comprehensive evaluation of existing and potential vulnerabilities within your organization, focusing on improving the overall security posture. We enable CISO to get a complete view of the vulnerabilities in the IT infrastructure and processes and prevent exploitation of these.
The objectives of our Security Vulnerability Assessment are:
- Identify security weakness
- Assess the Impact of any exploitation of the weakness
- Test overall compliance with documented security policies
- Assess your employees’ understanding of security policies
- Assess the ability to respond to security incidents
