Vulnerability Assessments and Penetration Testing

What's the difference between a Vulnerability Scan, Vulnerability Assessment, and Penetration Test?

A Vulnerability Scan is the very first step in adopting a vulnerability management program. Performing regular vulnerability scans keeps the organization informed of missing patches, end of life software, and other vulnerabilities in their environment. However, a vulnerability scan is an automated scan and report, and should not be confused with a penetration test which has a human ethical hacker attempting exploits and finding vulnerabilities that the automated scans won't detect.

Our Vulnerability Assessments include a vulnerability scan, but also have one of our security consultants manually scanning and enumerating the systems looking for vulnerabilities and prioritizing the vulnerabilities that are found. We provide a detailed report with recommendations and prioritized vulnerabilities to remediate first to maximize the time your staff spends implementing fixes for the biggest impact.

Internal and External Penetration Tests involve a simulated attacker attempting to break into your systems. This is the next level of a vulnerability assessment and not only includes identified vulnerabilities and recommendations, but also includes detailed attack paths that were taken to compromise systems and recommendations to close those vulnernabilities.

Ruff Security provides all of these and more services. Contact us today for a quote for your security assessment and consulting needs!

Supporting Small Businesses

Just because a small business doesn't have a well staffed security department, or a large IT security budget doesn't mean attackers will leave you alone.

Here at Ruff Security we want to provide our services to businesses of all sizes, and strive to provide affordable security assessments and consulting services. Our detailed reports will include customized and prioritized recommendations so you can make the most impact at securing your systems with limited budgets and IT staff.

Limited IT staff? No problem, we can also provide general consulting services to help implement any changes or architecture designs that you may require.
