Vulnerability Assessment 




A vulnerability assessment is designed to test your internal or external infrastructure against known vulnerabilities. A vulnerability assessment will also test an infrastructure against manufacturer known passwords and default configuration parameters. Vulnerability Assessment is not rocket science to perform automatically. Vulnerability Assessment scans starts after all is pretty automated from the beginning and then reports back its findings in the form of a report and that's it.

Linux is the primary tool for system hacking. All of the best scripts run on it, and developing new tools is easier than in Windows. The code also tends to be more compact. Since the network assessment process usually begins with automated or semi-automated vulnerability scans, and progresses to attempting to exploit weaknesses found by those scans, a product that does both, and integrates both results and reporting. We apply human logics in the context of business risks, and the results are more thorough and comprehensive than an automated scanning report.

A Vulnerability Analysis provides an overview of the flaws that exist on the system. Vulnerability Analysis is the process of identifying vulnerabilities on a network and quantifying the security Vulnerabilities in a system. A Vulnerability Analysis works to improve security posture and develop a more mature, integrated security program. Commonly Vulnerability Assessment goes through the following phases: Information Gathering, Port Scanning, Enumeration, Threat Profiling & Risk Identification, Network Level Vulnerability Scanning, Application Level Vulnerability Scanning, Mitigation Strategies Creation, Report Generation, and Support.
