Network Vulnerability Assessments

A Network Vulnerability Assessment is not just important, it’s crucial. It’s about identifying potential vulnerabilities that could compromise your network’s security. Similar to a Network Penetration Test, a network vulnerability assessment is much more cost-effective and can provide a list of actionable items for your IT team to mitigate. Tanner’s Salt Lake City, UT team specializes in conducting network vulnerability assessments and has performed them for some of the largest companies in the region for over a decade. Our aim is to uncover common threats such as outdated server OS versions, insecure server settings, default login credentials, unencrypted network protocols, and excessive user account access. We want to ensure that your network remains secure and resilient against evolving cyber threats.

Tanner’s Network Vulnerability Assessment Process

Our vulnerability assessment approach focuses on providing actionable insights tailored to your organization’s specific needs. Unlike traditional scans that produce lengthy reports filled with generic recommendations, we aim to deliver detailed yet concise reports highlighting identified risks and providing practical remediation recommendations. With over 10,000 vulnerabilities documented last year alone, the need for regular and recurring vulnerability assessments is more critical than ever. Monthly assessments allow us to keep a pulse on your network’s security posture and respond swiftly to emerging threats.

Network Vulnerability Assessment Process

• Initial Consultation: During this consultation, you’ll discuss your organization’s specific needs, objectives, and any concerns related to network security.

• Scope Definition: This includes determining which systems, networks, and applications will be reviewed, along with the depth and breadth of the assessment.

• Assessment: Tanner will conduct the vulnerability assessment according to the agreed-upon scope. The network vulnerability assessment involves using specialized tools and techniques to identify vulnerabilities within your network infrastructure, systems, and applications.

• Data Collection and Analysis: Throughout the assessment process, Tanner will collect data on identified vulnerabilities and analyze their potential impact on your organization’s security posture.

• Reporting: Tanner will compile the findings into a detailed report once the assessment is complete.

• Follow-Up: Tanner will follow-up assessments or ongoing monitoring to ensure that remediation efforts are effective and to identify any new vulnerabilities that may arise over time.

Additionally, you’ll have direct access to an experienced Information Security Analyst who can clarify your report, discuss discovered vulnerabilities, and offer guidance on recommended actions.
