Security Assessment and Penetration Testing
Vulnerability Assessment
Vulnerability Assessment is a systematic process by Shieldbyte infosec that covers identifying, analyzing, and evaluating security vulnerabilities in computer systems, networks, applications, and other IT assets. The primary goal of vulnerability assessment is proactively discovering weaknesses that malicious actors could exploit and recommending appropriate remediation or mitigation strategies.
Shieldbyte Infosec organizations proactively facilitate organization for vulnerability assessment, but it should be complemented by other security measures such as penetration testing, security awareness training, and incident response planning.
