Vulnerability Assessment

Introduction

Cyber threats are constantly evolving, and new vulnerabilities appear every day. Unpatched systems, misconfigured applications, and weak security controls can expose your organization to breaches, data loss, and regulatory penalties.

Vulnerability Assessment is the process of systematically scanning, identifying, and prioritizing security weaknesses across your infrastructure, so you can fix them before attackers exploit them.

What Is a Vulnerability Assessment?

Unlike a penetration test, which simulates real attacks, a vulnerability assessement provides a broad, automated and manual review of your IT environment. It gives you a comprehensive inventory of security gaps and classifies them by severity, making it easier to plan remediation efforts.

Our Methodology

At Cyber-Defense, we follow a structured approach combining automation and expert validation:

1. Asset Discovery – Mapping your digital footprint (servers, apps, APIs, endpoints, cloud).

2. Automated Scanning – Using industry-leading tools to detect known vulnerabilities.

3. Manual Verification – Eliminating false positives, validating exploitability.

4. Risk Prioritization – Ranking issues by criticality, likelihood of exploitation, and business impact.

5. Reporting & Guidance – Delivering clear recommendations for remediation.

Scope of Assessment

• Network Infrastructure – Firewalls, routers, switches, servers.

• Applications – Web, mobile, APIs, cloud platforms.

• Configuration Reviews – Weak defaults, missing patches, insecure protocols.

• Compliance Checks – PCI DSS, ISO 27001, GDPR requirements.

Why Choose Cyber-Defense?

✔️ Assessments aligned with OWASP, CVSS, NIST, and PCI DSS.
✔️ Combination of automated scanning + expert analysis.
✔️ Actionable recommendations tailored to your environment.
✔️ Easy-to-understand reports for both management and technical teams.

Deliverables

After each assessement, you will receive:

• A detailed vulnerability report with severity ratings (Critical, High, Medium, Low).

• Technical remediation guidance for IT/security teams.

• An executive summary highlighting overall risk posture and compliance gaps.

Benefits of Vulnerability Assessment

• Reduce risk exposure by proactively identifying weaknesses.

• Prioritize resources where they matter most.

• Demonstrate due diligence to regulators and clients.

• Build a foundation for penetration testing and red teaming.
