Scanning Alone Isn’t Enough to Protect Your Data
Today, Ransomware-as-a-Service (or RaaS) enables anyone to buy a subscription to everything they need to launch attacks, regardless of whether they’re tech-savvy or not. The entry barrier for ransomware is low.
Your organisation has what hackers want — a treasure trove of customer and employee personally identifiable information (PII). Just as a burglar can easily break into your house through open windows, bad actors can get inside your organisation’s network using rogue access points.
Having a platform for regular vulnerability scanning at your fingertips can help your business identify and eliminate security gaps before they’re exploited.
- Ransomware threats increased by 151% in the first half of 2021 as compared to the first two quarters of 2020.
- 13.4% of all critical risks are related to unpatched, unsupported or outdated systems.
- 88% of respondents realized the significance of unified security across devices, apps and other systems.
Vulnerability Management

Frequently Asked Questions
Vulnerability scanning is a process used to identify potential security weaknesses in a system, network, or application. It involves using automated tools to scan for vulnerabilities such as outdated software, misconfigurations, or missing patches that could be exploited by cyber attackers.
Vulnerability scanning is crucial as it helps organisations proactively identify and address security flaws before they can be exploited. By regularly scanning for vulnerabilities, organisations can reduce the risk of data breaches, protect sensitive information, and maintain compliance with industry regulations.
Vulnerability scanning works by using specialised software tools to scan systems and networks for known vulnerabilities. These tools compare the scanned data against a database of known security issues and generate a report detailing any vulnerabilities found. The report typically includes information on the severity of each vulnerability and recommendations for remediation.
The frequency of vulnerability scanning depends on several factors, including the size and complexity of the organisation’s IT environment, regulatory requirements, and the criticality of the systems being protected. As a general guideline, it’s recommended to perform vulnerability scans at least quarterly. However, more frequent scans, such as monthly or even weekly, may be necessary for organisations with high-security needs or those undergoing frequent changes to their IT infrastructure.

Can You Afford an Attack?
Nobody likes going to the dentist, but an annual checkup is far less costly, painful, and debilitating than ignoring routine inspections and ending up needing a root canal, crown, or something worse. The same can be said about vulnerability scanning. Nobody is ever excited about an additional service or additional fee but ignoring vulnerabilities and pretending that they don’t exist will eventually result in a cyberattack that could cost millions in extortion and remediation.
Don’t put your business at risk by ignoring potential network vulnerabilities. The question is no longer “What if someone exploits a vulnerability on our network?” but rather “When will someone exploit a vulnerability on our network?” We can help eliminate the risks by identifying and remediating those vulnerabilities before someone else discovers them.
