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?

Imagine you choose to conduct an annual penetration test to assess your online and offline security. This can certainly provide valuable insights that lead to smart improvements. However, a penetration test is, and will always be, a snapshot in time. By using the right tools, you can stay informed 24/7 about potential security risks across your entire network.

A good vulnerability management program combines threat intelligence with knowledge of IT and business operations to prioritize and address the risks of cyber vulnerabilities. By analyzing these risks and determining the appropriate next steps, you maintain full 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 various (scanning) systems to detect as many vulnerabilities as possible. NetCaptain’s risk-based approach uses the risk level of these vulnerabilities as a starting point, focusing on detection and prevention. Unlike hiring an ethical hacker, this tool provides continuous insight into your security status, allowing you to intervene promptly in case of security risks. This way, you prevent hackers from exploiting these weaknesses.

Over the past eight years, our team has worked hard to develop the most understandable, affordable, and comprehensive vulnerability management solution currently available. As a result, we can thoroughly scan your entire infrastructure for more than 150,000 vulnerabilities in a very short time. And if you prefer to do this in a structured way yourself, you can do so with NetCaptain.

Vulnerability management or a pentest

So isn’t it at all useful to have a pentest 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 pentest 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 pentesting, 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 pentest 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 pentest. Want to know more about the differences between a pentest and vulnerability management? In our knowledge base article, we explore the differences between these two research methods.
