In order to combat the constantly increasing number of threats, organizations must become proactive to identify risks in their network security. Regular vulnerability scanning is a critical component to all security architectures and is a required component for all merchants accepting credit card payments.

How Does This Work?

Vulnerability scanning uses a variety of tools and techniques to examine your external network over the Internet. Your external network likely consists of perimeter devices, such as routers and firewalls, as well as Internet accessible servers, like your email and web servers.

The vulnerability scans are performed remotely, originating from the 403 Labs scanning server network. The vulnerability management system only requires the addresses of your network; nothing is required to be downloaded, installed, or configured on your network. The scans perform an audit to look for security holes or misconfigurations.

What Happens After We Get Scanned?

The 403 Labs Vulnerability Management Portal is a web-based interface to your account. As a customer, you and your administrative team login to the portal to securely view risks and threats against your network and your schedule of upcoming vulnerability scans.

Results and corrective recommendations are risk ranked based on priority and provided in executive summary and technically detailed formats, appropriate for business executives and technical administrators. Your management account also includes email alerts, downloadable reports, graphs, trend analyses, resource tools, and real-time control over running scans to maximize your ability to respond and secure your network against attacks.

This constant and early identification of security flaws allows your company the ability to react quickly and appropriately to close security holes and help prevent attacks and data compromises.
