What is penetration testing?
In the realm of cybersecurity, ensuring accuracy is paramount. Penetration testing involves engaging a trusted company to deliberately probe your business’s network, aiming to uncover vulnerabilities and identify security gaps. The advantages of this approach include…
- Find and patch vulnerabilities before bad actors find them
- Be assured that your businesses network is safe and secure
- Assure customers and partners that your business and their data is safe
- Protect your business from vulnerabilities, GDPR breaches and more

Frequently Asked Questions
Vulnerability Scan Definitions
Vulnerability scanning, also known as VA scanning, involves automated systems scanning your applications and infrastructure to identify publicly disclosed security vulnerabilities, typically found in databases like CVE. If a vulnerability scan detects missing patches or remediations for these vulnerabilities in your systems, it highlights them in the report. This method offers a swift and convenient means to stay proactive against hackers by promptly addressing security flaws.
How often should vulnerability scans be ran?
Best practices typically advise conducting VA scans on a monthly basis or when new application and infrastructure components are introduced or undergo significant changes. However, this frequency may not suit all businesses universally. Some organisations may necessitate more frequent vulnerability scanning. The precise frequency should align with your business’s security strategy and tolerance for cyber risks. Given the efficiency and ease of use of the Vulnerability Scanning tool, you might opt for increased scanning frequencies, such as weekly or even daily.
What is vulnerability scanning used for?
Conducting vulnerability scanning provides a swift and straightforward method to comprehensively assess available software updates. Given that hackers often exploit missing patches, maintaining up-to-date apps and infrastructure is crucial in preventing data breaches proactively.
Vulnerability scanning vs Penetration testing
Within our security packages and services, we provide both vulnerability scanning and penetration testing. Contrary to common belief, these are distinct services serving different purposes.
Vulnerability scanning involves regular and active scans of your network to compare vulnerabilities present against a database, identifying potential attack vectors that could be exploited to target your business.
On the other hand, penetration testing is a less frequent, scheduled attack conducted through ethical hacking. It adopts a more aggressive approach to uncover vulnerabilities and attack vectors, requiring security specialists to simulate hacking attempts on your network to reveal potential issues.
