Vulnerability management

Vulnerability management allows you to view your IT infrastructure from the outside - from the perspective of a potential attacker, so to speak. The aim is to find every existing vulnerability in your IT infrastructure.

The technical findings must therefore result in a work process that leads to the closure of vulnerabilities. A vulnerability management process should regulate three things:

Who receives what information about discovered vulnerabilities and when? Who is responsible for which steps? What means and methods are available?

Always one step ahead of the attackers

IT security is a process - vulnerability management provides the basis. Because only those who know their vulnerabilities can implement security measures in a targeted manner.

The process - from detection to remediation and control - runs in a continuous cycle. This means you are always one step ahead of the attackers.

Another plus: the IT security solutions used can be focussed specifically on the hot spots. This increases the efficiency of antivirus systems, firewalls, etc.

Recognising and managing risks.

Any IT system that can be misused and is accessible to an attacker with sufficient capabilities becomes a risk.

Typical causes of vulnerabilities are misconfigurations or programming errors, unauthorised installations or violations of security guidelines. The Greenbone Security Manager uncovers these and countless other risks - and helps you to classify and prioritise measures.

Targeted action - Greenbone shows you how

Your Greenbone Security Manager tests your IT network and all connected devices for almost 90,000 vulnerabilities - automatically.

You receive an exact status of your company's security situation on a daily basis. The vulnerability check also provides you with information on the severity level.

This allows you to easily prioritise the identified vulnerabilities and the measures to be taken. Understand security as a process.

The management of weak points also includes their elimination.

Prioritise measures

A weak point in the web server on the Internet harbours a higher risk than an offline system with telephone access. Damage to production machines is usually much more expensive than damage to the web server for image films.

It is therefore important to prioritise countermeasures economically.

Why IT security?

Today, IT is a central component of every company and forms the basis for almost all business processes. Almost nothing works without it. In the worst-case scenario, IT malfunctions can bring the entire business to a standstill. This causes major economic damage and leads to a loss of reputation. It is therefore essential for companies to secure their IT systems and protect them against cyber risks and cyber attacks. At the same time, increasing networking also increases the attack surface. This is because every networked device is a potential gateway for cyber criminals. This increases the risk of attacks.

Why information security?

Information is one of the most valuable assets for companies. Most of it is now available as digital data within IT systems, where it is stored, transported and processed. However, it can also be stored on paper or passed on verbally. If information is lost, stolen, manipulated or can no longer be processed, this can jeopardise a company's existence. It is therefore important to ensure appropriate information security in order to guarantee the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information.

What impact does an attack have on my information?

If the availability, confidentiality or integrity of information is compromised, this can have serious consequences. For example, an attack can result in confidential data falling into the wrong hands - be it personal data or company secrets. Hackers can use it to commit industrial espionage, steal people's identities, misuse credit card information and much more. If data is manipulated, this can lead to incorrect bookings, errors in production or false analysis results, for example. Even if data is not available, this affects business processes that rely on the processing of data. For example, orders cannot be processed or production machines come to a standstill.
