Vulnerability Assessment

A vulnerability assessment is a comprehensive look at the security posture of your organization. It includes an analysis of current policy, organizational awareness and technology systems. The completed assessment includes analysis of both internal and external threats and vulnerabilities.

The vulnerability assessment is both the best first step in establishing a security program at your organization as well as a periodic milestone along the path to secure operations. Consolvant's proven methodology will not affect operations and can be performed with or without the knowledge of on-site staff. A Consolvant vulnerability assessment provides the big picture analysis for executives and management and a comprehensive technical report for IT personnel.

A penetration test ("pentest") is a subset of Consolvant’s comprehensive risk and vulnerability assessment service. The penetration test is a remote test of an organization's vulnerability and potential for information leakage from across the Internet. It takes a look at a client’s Internet presence or applications and connectivity from the perspective of a malicious competitor or hacker. It makes use of Consolvant’s proven vulnerability analysis methodology to ensure that a maximum number of vulnerabilities are discovered. Consolvant trains organizational personnel on all discoveries and counter-measures to ensure that knowledge transfer takes place.
