Vulnerability Discovery Test

What is it?

Our comprehensive Vulnerability Testing process involves a systematic and thorough scan of your entire IT infrastructure, including networks, connected devices, applications, and cloud environments. We utilise advanced tools and methodologies to identify every active asset, whether it’s an authorised server, an outdated application, or a piece of ‘shadow IT’ unknown to your central management.

What are the benefits of carrying out a discovery test? It has the ability to eliminate blind spots, giving you a holistic view of your entire attack surface by uncovering all assets, both known and unknown. This allows you to reduce unmanaged risk by identifying and addressing vulnerabilities in forgotten or unmonitored systems before cyber attackers can exploit them. Ultimately, it helps you enhance your security posture, establishing a robust foundation for all subsequent cybersecurity efforts and ensuring no critical asset is left unprotected. You’ll also optimise resource allocation, prioritising security investments and remediation efforts more effectively by focusing on real, identified risks, which in turn helps you improve compliance by demonstrating a comprehensive understanding and control over all your data-processing assets.

What does our discovery test uncover?

You can’t protect what you don’t know exists. Many businesses have ‘shadow IT’ or forgotten assets that pose significant, unmanaged risks. Our cyber security discovery test is designed to give you clarity by proactively scanning and mapping your entire IT infrastructure.

Hidden assets: We identify devices, applications, cloud instances, and network components you might not even be aware of, which could be vulnerable.

Unknown exposures: Pinpoint unpatched software, misconfigurations, or open ports on these newly discovered assets that could be exploited by cyber attackers.

“Blind spots”: Eliminate areas of your network or digital presence that fall outside your current security monitoring.
