Vulnerability management services

Overcome the challenges of vulnerability management by putting the human back into automation.

Vulnerability management services

Mitigate the risks of cyber-attacks by taking a proactive stance, encompassing thorough scanning and management of vulnerabilities spanning applications, servers, and end-user devices. In a landscape where attackers are perpetually seeking fresh vulnerabilities to exploit, safeguarding your IT ecosystem becomes paramount in fortifying your organisation’s defences.

Redcentric’s Vulnerability Management service is uniquely positioned to address the shortcomings of conventional methods, which heavily rely on automation to merely flag and classify vulnerabilities. Our approach capitalises on the extensive expertise of our cyber specialists, who infuse contextual insights to enhance the optimisation and prioritisation of vulnerability identification, classification, and remediation. By leveraging this comprehensive strategy, you effectively minimise your organisation’s attack surface, bolstering its security posture and resilience against evolving threats.

Despite the huge numbers of vulnerabilities, in reality fewer than 10% of known vulnerabilities are ever exploited in the wild.

The challenges faced with vulnerability management

The ever-expanding pool of vulnerabilities coupled with the rapid pace of change makes maintaining vigilance over vulnerabilities an immensely time-consuming endeavour. Often, automation leads organisations to expend precious time pinpointing and addressing vulnerabilities that are unlikely to be exploited. Moreover, the efforts invested in patching and mitigation create a substantial workload for personnel who could be channeling their efforts into more value-added tasks.

When the responsibility for patching is distributed across various segments of an organisation, the task of oversight and assurance becomes intricate. This often results in prolonged vulnerability exposure, thereby elevating the overall risk level for the organisation. Within this intricate landscape of identifying vulnerabilities and subsequently strategising, prioritising, and monitoring remediation, automation alone proves insufficient. What’s required is human intervention, underpinned by a profound comprehension of the business context.

Vulnerability identification is only one part of the problem

Although numerous organisations leverage automation for vulnerability identification, many fall short in extracting substantial value from their scanning solutions due to the challenge of accurately prioritising risks. In our approach, we take into account a comprehensive spectrum of factors when categorising vulnerabilities. This strategic consideration ensures that our customers allocate their time and resources judiciously, concentrating on the pivotal areas that hold the greatest significance.

Why Redcentric vulnerability management

Redcentric extends a comprehensive Vulnerability Management service that encompasses all types of environments. Our cybersecurity team comprises adept human experts who leverage their intelligence, knowledge, and experience to offer invaluable context, enhancing the efficiency of vulnerability management efforts.

 

Our approach entails a meticulous examination of various facets:

Publicly available exploits: We ascertain the presence of exploit code on the public internet, recognising that attackers frequently resort to pre-existing exploits if accessible.

Current exploitation: By assessing the extent to which a vulnerability has been exploited in the past, we adeptly filter out common false positives and adjust our categorisation based on real-world incidents.

Anticipated future risk: Drawing from our own expertise in identifying, exploiting, and classifying vulnerabilities, we anticipate potential risks and factor in a wide range of variables when classifying vulnerabilities.

Business context: Our analysis takes into account the specific business context of each client, tailoring the risk assessment based on how the vulnerability could impact their operations. This contextual approach ensures that the risk evaluation remains relevant and meaningful.

 

By meticulously considering these facets, we provide a holistic and strategic vulnerability management service that not only identifies vulnerabilities but also offers actionable insights, mitigates potential risks, and supports informed decision-making within the larger context of your organisation’s cybersecurity strategy.
