Vulnerability Management as a Service
Many attackers make use of known vulnerabilities in devices (endpoints, infrastructure or Web Applications) in order to establish a bridgehead in an organisation and move towards their ultimate goals. Vulnerability management is the process by which organisations mitigate the risk of known vulnerabilities being exploited, reduce their threat landscape and improve their cyber security maturity.
The TSC Service: Relentless in Delivering Results
The TSC vulnerability management service is a proven powerhouse, cutting through bureaucracy to deliver decisive, tangible results. Many vulnerability management programmes falter or stagnate due to insufficient processes or overly restrictive procedures. At TSC, we excel in having the tough conversations necessary to drive impactful change. Dubbed the “bulldogs of cyber,” TSC is relentless in delivering results.
We work aggressively with external suppliers and the internal workforce to enforce the remediation and confirmation testing of identified vulnerabilities. Our approach prioritises actions based on business risk, ensuring vulnerabilities are not just identified but thoroughly managed and eradicated. TSC’s unwavering commitment strengthens your organisation’s security posture, making it resilient against even the most formidable cyber threats.
This service allows you to answer these questions:
- What vulnerabilities are currently in my organisation?
- What vulnerabilities are found in business-critical systems?
- Is my vulnerability posture improving over time?
- Are parts of my organisation managing vulnerabilities particularly well or particularly badly?
- What can be done to assist areas in need of improvement?
- What are the top actions needed to address the most high-risk vulnerabilities across the organisation?
- How do I address the vulnerabilities found and in what order?
Our vulnerability management service goes beyond simple vulnerability scans and produces actionable recommendations, targeted at the highest-risk areas of the business.
TSC’s vulnerability management service takes a holistic approach to the management of identification and remediation of cyber security weaknesses. While vulnerability scanning is a critical component of this process, it is only one part of a comprehensive vulnerability management strategy. To truly protect an organisation’s digital assets and maintain a robust security posture, it is essential to move beyond mere scanning and embrace a full-fledged vulnerability management program.
The Difference Between Vulnerability Scanning and Vulnerability Management Vulnerability Scanning:
Vulnerability Scanning:
Best described as the use of automated tools to identify security weaknesses within an organisation’s network, systems, and applications. These scans can detect known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and outdated software that could be exploited by cyber attackers. However, vulnerability scanning is often limited to identifying potential issues without providing context or prioritisation.
Vulnerability Management:
This option encompasses a broader set of practices that go beyond scanning. It involves a continuous process of identifying, evaluating, treating, and reporting on security vulnerabilities. This holistic approach ensures that vulnerabilities are not only detected but also assessed for risk, prioritised based on potential impact, and effectively remediated.
Security Vulnerability Management and Improvement
This service can support a patch management process by identifying devices that have not been patched or have not been patched fully. A patch-management process alone, cannot, however, shed light on residual vulnerabilities.
