The first step to protect your data

The first step to protect your data Vulnerability Assessment is an automated activity that actively scans for possible security vulnerabilities within an internal or external infrastructure (including all systems, network devices and communication equipment connected to that network) that cybercriminals could exploit.

A Vulnerability Assessment is what you would start with if you have never had any security testing services. They are an essential part of ongoing testing and should be conducted regularly - once a month or quarter, depending on your rate of change.
