Vulnerability Assessment
Essant provides an easy to deploy and user friendly solution to continuously assess your risk exposure. Using our automated services is like having a highly skilled security team constantly probing your network to discover vulnerabilities. Identified vulnerabilities are rated and reported together with the recommended remedy. The process of correcting identified vulnerabilities is supported by workflow tools for delegating remediation tasks to appropriate administrators. The results can also be compared over time, to monitor trends in risk exposure.
In contrast to manual penetration testing, automated vulnerability scanning is typically performed very frequently. This is important as new vulnerabilities are discovered much earlier and your risk exposure is minimised.
