Vulnerability Scanning
Network Vulnerability Assessments are critical in securing an organization's network. Most organizations perform these assessments annually or quarterly at the most. The difficulty with this level of frequency is that new network vulnerabilities are discovered daily. Since networks often change due to patching, new machine installations, and many other reasons, your vulnerability posture can change just as often.
Also, many regulatory bodies recognize the value of vulnerability assessments, including the PCI Council which published the PCI-DSS regulation. With so many reasons to scan, it makes sense to consolidate all these scans inside one easily accessible location that includes scan scheduling, report review, and remediation recommendations.
Perimeter E-Security offers many scanning services to best fit your needs. Scanning services are divided into the following types:
- External - this vulnerability scan uses hardware outside of your network to scan the outside of your network for vulnerabilities. The same web-based portal is included for easy service management and reporting with this service as is included in the Internal service.
- Internal - this option allows you to turn any supporting hardware into an internal scanner that searches for vulnerabilities within your network. The same web-based portal is included for easy service management and reporting with this service as is included in the External service.
- PCI - this external scan is customized to include the required Statement of Attestation and Self-Assessment Questionnaire. In addition to the management and reporting portal, this option provides additional reporting options including an overview of your PCI compliance status and more insight into any areas that may fall out of compliance.
- Perimeter E-Security is a PCI Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV), passing a rigorous remote test conducted by each vendor on the PCI Security Standards Council's test infrastructure, which simulates the network of a typical security scan customer.
Within each service listed above there are two versions to select from to provide the optimal solution for your needs:
- On Demand - this version gives you complete control over scan scheduling and allows you to schedule unlimited scans for unique hosts.
- Managed - this version brings our expertise to you. We will configure and schedule a monthly scan for you. Our security experts will then review the outcome and discuss the findings with you. Additional consulting is available upon request as well.
