Vulnerability management
With the modern IT environment evolving in complexity and interdependency, threats and vulnerabilities are increasingly difficult to address in a way that is both cost effective and visible to those needing assurance. Many organisations have learned that perimeter firewalls, antivirus software, intrusion detection systems, sophisticated patch management and periodic vulnerability scanning programmes are not enough to combat exposure to the broad and ever evolving range of security risks. Often the extent of the risk to an organisation is not recognised or visible to senior management.
We help clients develop effective solutions by linking process, people and technology to ensure that risks are identified, assessed and managed as part of an operational approach to addressing system vulnerabilities. Our team can assist by:
- Defining requirements and supporting the selection of the right technologies
- Assessing the current state of vulnerability management processes
- Designing and optimising vulnerability management processes and controls that include threat identification, risk assessment, remediation and effective management reporting
- Implementing vulnerability management solutions and processes
- Investigating incidents and applying forensics
- Ethically hacking and testing networks and applications
