To protect against the ever-increasing cyber threat landscape, organisations must strengthen their cyber security posture to mitigate potential risks. For many organisations, this can be difficult as they are unsure where to start with cyber security and having in-house cyber expertise to guide them is often too expensive.

A vulnerability assessment is a systematic process of identifying, classifying, and prioritising vulnerabilities in an organisation’s IT systems, networks, and applications. It helps organisations understand and manage their cyber security risks by providing a comprehensive overview of their security posture.
SMEs and non-profit organisations often lack the resources and expertise to implement comprehensive cyber security programs. Vulnerability assessments provide a cost-effective and practical approach to identifying and addressing cyber security weaknesses before they can be exploited by attackers.
Vulnerability assessments focus on identifying weaknesses in an organisation’s systems, while penetration tests attempt to exploit those weaknesses to simulate a real-world attack. Penetration tests are more comprehensive and expensive than vulnerability assessments, but they can provide more in-depth information about the organisation’s security posture.
Cyber Advance vulnerability assessments are conducted by experienced ethical hackers who use a variety of tools and techniques to identify a wide range of vulnerabilities. The assessments are prioritised based on severity and exploitability, providing organisations with a clear action plan for remediation.
Any organisation, regardless of size or industry, can benefit from a vulnerability assessment. However, they are particularly valuable for SMEs and non-profit organisations that may not have the resources for more comprehensive cyber security measures.
