What is Managed Vulnerability Scanning?
Vulnerability scanning uses software to continuously analyse your network for security vulnerabilities. By continuously scanning, you can put your organisation in the strongest position to identify and eliminate threats before they can be exploited by cyber criminals.
Managed Vulnerability Scanning (MVS) takes the load off your in-house team by providing a fully managed service. This includes expert configuration, remediation advice, and manual reviews to dismiss false positives.
Our MVS services can work hand-in-hand with your annual penetration testing services to provide even greater protection and year-round defence. Read more about Vulnerability Management Systems.
