Vulnerability Assessment Services
Vulnerability assessments involve identifying, classifying, and prioritizing security weaknesses without actively exploiting them. These services are ideal for organizations wanting a comprehensive security overview.
- Network Vulnerability Assessment:
- Focuses on internal and external networks.
- Scans for open ports, weak protocols, default credentials, and outdated software.
- Tools: Nessus, OpenVAS.
- Example: Detecting unpatched vulnerabilities in firewalls, routers, or switches.
- Web Application Vulnerability Assessment:
- Analyzes applications for common vulnerabilities (e.g., SQL Injection, XSS, CSRF).
- Tools: Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP.
- Example: Identifying improper input validation in login forms that might allow attackers to bypass authentication.
- Mobile Application Vulnerability Assessment:
- Examines mobile apps for insecure APIs, improper session handling, or storage of sensitive data.
- Example: A banking app storing sensitive credentials in plain text.
- Cloud Security Assessment:
- Reviews cloud configurations for misconfigurations, privilege escalation, or data exposure.
- Example: Detecting an S3 bucket with public read/write permissions in AWS.
- Endpoint Security Assessment:
- Analyzes endpoints (PCs, servers) for weaknesses like unpatched software or malware.
- Example: Detecting endpoints with outdated antivirus software.
