Vulnerability Assessments

Any device with access to the Internet is a potential open door to would-be hackers. Kualitatem provides vulnerability assessments during which it closely maps the network architecture, examines all open ports, hosts and services with access to the Web, and ensures that these network devices are secure. During this defensive process, once open ports and attached services are identified, we determine whether each service has been updated with the most recent patches and identifies other vulnerabilities located within the exposed services.

Process Description:

Scoping: Identify scope of the vulnerability assessment as well as project planning, scheduling and resourcing

Information Gathering: Gather application, systems and network related information, IT infrastructure, network architecture and process flow diagrams.

Vulnerability Assessment: Systems and applications based vulnerabilities are identified using our vast collection of commercial and open source tools. Gather further information such as authentication credentials if required in this phase.

Documentation: Prepare documentation on assessment carried out and include evidences. Documentations should include list of vulnerabilities and gaps found and their impact as well as recommend specific/feasible recommendation to eliminate them.

Remedial actions: If client asks for this, plan and manage the corrective action to eliminate the vulnerabilities. Also conduct periodic vulnerability assessments and assist in continuously evolving improvement plan.

Deliverables and Benefits:

  • Early and timely detection of vulnerabilities listed in a report found at all levels of IT infrastructure (systems application and network)
  • Root cause analysis of vulnerabilities and strategies for remedial actions.
