Vulnerability Assessment

Vulnerability Assessment

Vulnerability assessment (VA) solutions operate across on-premises, cloud, and virtual environments to help reduce risk exposure. They discover, identify and report on operating system and software vulnerabilities for IT, cloud, IoT and OT devices. 

Many organizations are implementing VA solutions to better understand, prioritize and reduce risk and exposure from threats. VA establishes a baseline of connected assets and vulnerabilities, identifying and reporting on the security configuration of assets. VA supports compliance reporting and control frameworks, risk assessment and remediation prioritization, and remediation activities. Many regulations and standards, such as PCI DSS, NIST, and ISO 27001, require organizations to perform VAs to remain in compliance. 

Advancements and innovations for VA tools and services are being seen in discovery, prioritization and mitigation, tracking the vulnerability remediation progress and workflow automation to meet evolving requirements and needs, including areas like cloud, containers, OT and vulnerability prioritization. 

Ridge Security vulnerability assessment support: As part of an integrated vulnerability assessment, it enables organizations to not only assess but also confirm vulnerabilities discovered in their infrastructure, applications, and defenses. It relentlessly locates exploits across an enterprise network, documenting its findings while continuously measuring results and effectiveness.
