Web Vulnerability Scan & Assessment

What is Vulnerability Assessment?

Vulnerability assessment is the process of identifying risks and weaknesses of a company's current IT systems to repair the security holes. A comprehensive vulnerability assessment includes a full set of procedures including vulnerability identification, detailed analysis and appropriate remediation measure recommendation. In the analysis, there should be findings, description of the threat and possible consequences. Then, the service provider should discuss and provide guidance to the in-house IT staff regarding the remediation.

What is worth mentioning is that vulnerability assessment should not be a one-off activity, but a regular practice because there are new threats and scams in the cyber world. An invincible system today could be vulnerable to new threats some other days.

What is Web Vulnerability Scan?

In brief, web vulnerability scan can identify web vulnerabilities and configuration issues at an early stage, protecting businesses from potential cybersecurity risks.

Some examples of the well-known vulnerabilities that can be discovered during vulnerability assessment are SQL injection, man-in-the-middle attack, cross-site scripting and malicious ransomware.

A regular web vulnerability scan process consists of two parts, which are vulnerability assessment and vulnerability management accordingly. To commence with, during vulnerability assessment, the web vulnerability scan will scan through the webs and applications to uncover existing vulnerabilities, these can either be destructive or simply just a flaw. Once the vulnerability assessment is done, the web vulnerability scan will continue to manage the vulnerabilities.

To properly deal with the vulnerabilities, the web vulnerability scan will first create a proactive alert about the potential threats so as to ensure problems can be handled before causing any cybersecurity incidents. After that, the web vulnerability scan will prioritize the remediation process by evaluating the business impact of each vulnerability, helping users to streamline the vulnerability assessment workload.
