What is vulnerability assessment software?

Vulnerability assessment software monitors your IT infrastructure and digital systems for security weaknesses. When you know where your flaws and weaknesses are, you can address any issues to prevent breaches and unauthorized access to your systems, helping avoid data loss and business disruption. More advanced vulnerability assessment software like Intruder can also discover and scan network access points and all connected devices.

What is a vulnerability assessment?
faq arrow

A vulnerability assessment is an analysis of vulnerabilities in an IT system at a certain point in time, with the aim of identifying the system’s weaknesses before hackers can get hold of them. As humans, we all make mistakes, and because software is written by humans, it inevitably contains bugs. While many bugs are harmless in nature, some turn out to be exploitable vulnerabilities placing the usability and security of the system at risk. This is where a vulnerability assessment comes in, to help organizations identify vulnerabilities, such as SQL injection or cross-site scripting (XSS), before hackers are able to exploit them.

Why are vulnerability assessments important?
faq arrow

Regular vulnerability assessments are critical to a strong cyber security posture. The sheer number of vulnerabilities that exist and the complexity of the average company’s digital infrastructure mean an organization is almost guaranteed to have at least one unpatched vulnerability that places it at risk. Finding these vulnerabilities before an attacker does can mean the difference between a failed attack and a costly and embarrassing data breach or ransomware infection.

One of the great things about vulnerability assessments is you can do it yourself and even automate the process. By getting the right tools and performing regular vulnerability scans, you can dramatically decrease your cyber security risk.

When a new vulnerability is discovered in software deployed on your perimeter, Intruder scans your systems and alerts you to newly discovered vulnerabilities automatically. This kind of proactive action is essential for businesses that don’t have processes in place to research the latest threats and manually run scans for them. Learn more.

What is Intruder’s Rapid Response?

Intruder’s Rapid Response is manually carried out by our security team to check for the latest critical weaknesses hitting the news, including some that our scanners don't have checks for yet or ones that are better detected by a person.

When a threat is identified, we'll scan your systems and notify you if we suspect that any could be affected. We will also send you an advisory with further details and recommendations.
