A Call to Action for Organizations
In an era where data breaches are increasingly common, it's critical for organizations to evaluate their overall risk to avoid becoming the next headline. Many organizations are unaware of the risks they face, and even more are uncertain about where to begin their cybersecurity journey.
Responding to Sophisticated Cyber Attacks
With attackers growing more sophisticated and frequent in their assaults, it's crucial for organizations to establish and maintain an information security program. This program should offer flexibility in assessing their environments, allowing organizations to stay one step ahead of potential threats.
Cybersecurity Challenges for SMBs
As small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) adopt new technologies like AI, cloud computing, and IoT, they often neglect the security implications of digital transformation. This oversight leaves them exposed to cyber theft, scams, extortion, and more. In the past year, two-thirds of SMBs have experienced a security breach. With the average cost of a breach exceeding $380,000, it's essential for SMBs to prioritize cybersecurity.

A vulnerability assessment essentially just tells the customer that the door is unlocked; however, a penetration test actually tells the customer that, because the door is unlocked, we found an unlocked safe, unsecured jewelry, credit cards, and social security numbers laying around on the bed. It also explains how you could secure the door next time, how to protect the confidential data laying around on the bed, and then some.
What a Vulnerability Test will find:
● Patching vulnerabilities
● Default passwords amongst services
● Configuration deficiencies
● False positive vulnerabilities (e.g. flagging services based on version numbers, not knowing if patches are applied)
