Network and Web App Vulnerability Assessments
Strengthening Security with a Network Vulnerability Assessment
Every Vulnerability Assessment carried out by the Cyber and Fraud Centre is conducted by ethical hackers who are either in the process of completing or have completed a degree fully accredited by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).
Our Network Vulnerability Assessments critically evaluate your network’s security, identifying potential vulnerabilities and gaps susceptible to cyber-attacks. This comprehensive assessment covers both externally accessible assets and internal network components.
External Assessment: Our ethical hackers examine your network from an outsider’s perspective, mapping out public-facing components and services to uncover exploitable vulnerabilities. A report is then provided, detailing these vulnerabilities with recommendations for mitigating risks and enhancing security.
Internal Assessment: This phase assesses what could happen if a hacker gains access to your internal network, simulating an attack from within. It identifies vulnerabilities that could lead to serious disruption and harm, followed by a report on these findings with strategies for risk mitigation and increased network resilience.
Ensuring Your Web Application’s Security
Every Vulnerability Assessment carried out by the Cyber and Fraud Centre is conducted by ethical hackers who are either in the process of completing or have completed a degree fully accredited by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).
Cybercriminals frequently target web applications due to the potential rewards of obtaining sensitive private data, which can be sold on the dark web. Web applications often have complex source code, which can increase the likelihood of vulnerabilities and malicious code manipulation.
To prevent a hack from occurring, it is essential to test the resilience of your web application before any attack. Our ethical hacking team utilises web application hacking tools to identify vulnerabilities in your web application. We then provide a report highlighting these vulnerabilities and recommendations on mitigating risk and increasing resilience.
