What is Vulnerability Management?
Standard vulnerability scans and penetration tests are ‘Point in Time’ assessments, this means that your network could be scanned today and have no vulnerabilities.
However, tomorrow, a vulnerability could be discovered in one of your services, leaving your company exposed to unwanted threats until your next monthly/yearly/periodic scan.
Our VMaaS service leverages our security analysts expertise with leading vulnerability databases to identify configuration vulnerabilities.
Gaps in your software patching procedures and End of Life (EOL) software, operating systems & hardware alongside a strategy to prioritise and remediate these vulnerabilities to deliver actionable vulnerability insight for your organisations cyber risk management program and leverage these results to improve your security posture.
Why do I need a vulnerability management program?
Standard vulnerability scanning and penetration testing are “one-time” assessments.
Your network, scanned today, may not have any vulnerabilities. Tomorrow, a threat could appear to create a vulnerability.
This will leave your business exposed to unwanted threats until the next scan.
Our VMaaS service utilizes the expertise of our security analysts. They use a large vulnerability database to identify problems.
Issues can include configuration vulnerabilities, gaps in your software patching procedures, and End of Life (EOL) software.
Our goal is to improve your cyber security posture. We use our knowledge of operating systems and hardware to create a strategy to reduce your attack surface.
CloudTech24 remediate these vulnerabilities to reduce the threat to your business. Our job is to improve your cyber risk management program.

WHAT IS VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT AS A SERVICE?
Vulnerability Management as a Service is a structured program to identify and manage security vulnerabilities – this extends from a singular vulnerability scan as this includes ongoing management of the solution and consultative input into areas of focus.
WHAT IS A VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT PROCESS?
Vulnerability management is the process of identifying, evaluating, treating, and reporting on security vulnerabilities in systems and the software that runs on them. This, implemented alongside with other security tactics, is vital for organizations to prioritize possible threats and minimizing their “attack surface.”
WHY DO WE NEED VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT?
Vulnerability management is key to validate security patching and secure configurations on a regular basis and in a structured process. It should be part of all business security programs and is required as part of regulatory and legal compliance or contractual security requirements; this is due to the effectiveness of system hardening and reducing the attack surface of a business.
