MANAGED VULNERABILITY SCANNING
CSGs Managed Vulnerability Scanning service leverages industry leading scanning tools across internal and external networks
OVERVIEW
What Is Vulnerability Scanning?
Vulnerability scanning is when organisations can use to track, minimize, and eradicate vulnerabilities in their systems. This process involves identifying and classifying vulnerabilities, so that appropriate protections or remediations can be applied.
CSG’s managed vulnerability scanning makes use of vulnerability scanners, vulnerability databases, manual or automated vulnerability testing to ensure that all threats are accounted for.
These can include:
-
Vulnerabilities in code, such as SQL injection or cross-site-scripting (XSS) opportunities
-
Insufficient authentication and authorization mechanisms
-
Weak network configuration settings
-
Insecure user passwords
-
Out of date software and applications
-
Denial of service vulnerabilities
-
Insecure or misconfigured settings, such as weak access controls or passwords
Reduce Your Risk Exposure With A Managed Vulnerability Scanning Solution From CSG
Vulnerabilities provide openings for attackers to enter your systems. Once inside, they can abuse resources, steal data, or deny access to services. If you do not identify and patch vulnerabilities, you are essentially leaving the doors and windows open for attackers to enter your network. CSG’s Managed Vulnerability Scanning service combines the latest vulnerability scanning tools and experienced security professionals to proactively inspect your network and provide the insight and guidance needed to address security weaknesses.

TYPES
Scan Types
External vulnerability scan
External vulnerability scans target the areas of an IT ecosystem that are exposed to the internet, or not restricted for internal use. These areas can include applications, ports, websites, services, networks, and systems that are accessed by external customers or users
Internal vulnerability scan
With internal vulnerability scans, the primary target of the software is the internal enterprise network. Once a threat agent makes it through a security hole, the threat agent can leave enterprise systems prone to damage. These scans search for and identify the vulnerabilities inside the network in order to avoid damage, as well as to allow organizations to protect and tighten systems and application security that are not exposed by external scans
Environmental scan
Environmental vulnerability scans are based on the specific environment of an enterprise’s technology operations. These vulnerability scans are specialized and are available to deploy for multiple technologies, such as IoT devices, websites, cloud-based services, and mobile devices.
METHODS
Method Of Scans
Non-Intrusive
The non-intrusive method identifies a vulnerability and generates a report for the user to fix it. If a non-intrusive scanning method is used, no actual vulnerability exploitation occurs during this process: the scanner attempts to discover the probability of a vulnerability occurring given the conditions.
Intrusive Scan
Intrusive assessments make attempts to exploit vulnerabilities after they are discovered during scanning and an attack plan is created.
