Why is Vulnerability Scanning Important?
In today’s world, security threats are always changing. As a business, it’s important to keep your systems and data safe from potential attacks. Ongoing vulnerability scanning helps you find and fix weaknesses in your IT environment before they can be taken advantage of. Because things are constantly changing, it’s essential to perform vulnerability scanning regularly to ensure your company stays protected.
How vulnerability scanning complements proactive maintenance and patching
Vulnerability scanning is most effective when combined with proactive maintenance and a robust patching system. Here’s how these elements work together:
- Finding Weaknesses: Our vulnerability scanning service looks for problems in your systems, like outdated software and devices that need updates. This helps us catch issues that might be missed in regular maintenance.
- Fixing Issues: We include vulnerability scanning in our Complete Plan, so we’re always keeping an eye on your systems. After each scan, we get detailed reports that show the problems we find, ranked from most serious to least serious. This helps us decide which issues to tackle first.
- Improving Patching: By knowing what vulnerabilities are present, we can focus on fixing the most critical issues quickly. This is especially important for devices that automated patching might miss, like printers and battery backups. For more on this, check our [Patching Services]
- Keeping Records: We share the results of our vulnerability scans in our documentation system. This way, you can easily access information about any vulnerabilities and how your security posture has improved over time. For more details, see our [Documentation].
- Ongoing Monitoring: Vulnerability scanning helps us continuously check your systems. This goes hand in hand with our [proactive maintenance] to quickly find and fix any new problems.
- Boosting Security: When combined with our security updates and backup checks, vulnerability scanning strengthens your defenses, keeping your systems safe from potential threats.
