What is Vulnerability Management

Vulnerability Management

Nothing is more subject to change than online infrastructures.

Databases, software, operating systems and network components are exposed daily to vulnerabilities that can harm businesses and individuals in many ways. One way to gain insight into these vulnerabilities and respond to them intelligently is vulnerability management. Literally: managing these vulnerabilities.

Good vulnerability management helps make your organization more secure. Because if vulnerabilities are identified in time, it is easy to fix them and thus limit or even prevent the unpleasant consequences, such as a hack or hostage-taking of your business. Our team is happy to help you understand your cyber risks.

Why vulnerability management?

Suppose you choose to have an annual pen test to test online and offline security. This, of course, can provide valuable insights from which smart improvements can be made. But a pen test is and always has been a snapshot. By deploying the right tools, you stay on top of potential security risks across your entire network 24/7.

A good vulnerability management program combines threat intelligence with IT and business knowledge to prioritize and resolve cyber vulnerability risks. By analyzing these risks and determining the appropriate next steps, you maintain complete control over the security of all your systems.

Vulnerability scanner

A vulnerability scanner is an effective tool that allows you to automatically check the security of an online infrastructure. CyberAnts NetCaptain combines several (scanning) systems to detect as many vulnerabilities as possible. NetCaptain’s risk-based approach takes the risk of these vulnerabilities as its starting point by focusing on detection and prevention. Unlike hiring an ethical hacker, this gives you continuous insight into the security status and allows you to take timely action in case of security risks. This prevents hackers from exploiting these vulnerabilities.

For the past 8 years, our team has worked hard to create the most understandable, affordable and comprehensive vulnerability management solution available today. We can therefore check your entire infrastructure for more than 150,000 vulnerabilities in a very short time. And if you want to do this in a structured way yourself, you can do so with NetCaptain.

The importance of the human factor: the pen test

So isn’t it at all useful to have a pen test performed on a regular basis? It certainly is: it is precisely the human factor of a penetration test that is so important in exposing the risks of certain vulnerabilities. After all, a human being is creative and understands the context of your organization. It even happens that our hackers develop a tool during a test that can exploit a vulnerability so specific that no tool exists that can do it.

When you have a pen test performed by CyberAnt, an ethical hacker is manually trying to penetrate as a hacker with malicious intent would. In doing so, he or she purposefully looks for security risks and then exploits them. Actually attacking these vulnerabilities is a crucial part of pen testing, as their danger is often difficult to assess. It is precisely by exploiting them that we discover whether seemingly innocuous vulnerabilities can’t cause nasty consequences after all.

Therefore, a pen test is another solution to a different question. Do you want a broad and continuous solution? Then choose NetCaptain. Want a deep dive on a specific application? Then it’s best to go for a pen test. Want to know more about the differences between a pen test and vulnerability management? In our knowledge base article, we explore the differences between these two research methods.
