Asset and Exposure Discovery
Identify in-scope systems, applications and infrastructure components to establish the assets being assessed.
Understand where vulnerabilities exist across your technology environment and determine which issues require attention first. Petabyte's Vulnerability Assessment & Management services support discovery, risk-based prioritisation, remediation tracking and ongoing review.
Discuss Your RequirementsVulnerabilities can emerge as applications change, systems are updated, configurations evolve and new weaknesses are disclosed. Without a consistent process, security teams may struggle to understand exposure, assign ownership and track remediation.
Petabyte's Vulnerability Assessment & Management service helps organisations identify weaknesses within an agreed scope, interpret findings in context and organise remediation activities. The objective is to support a repeatable process rather than treating each assessment as an isolated exercise.
Prioritisation can consider severity, exploitability, asset importance, exposure and business context. The appropriate criteria depend on the environment and assessment scope.
Activities can be tailored to your assets, technology stack, operational needs and agreed assessment scope.
Identify in-scope systems, applications and infrastructure components to establish the assets being assessed.
Assess in-scope assets for known weaknesses and configuration issues using methods agreed for the engagement.
Review results and available evidence to help distinguish relevant findings from items requiring further investigation.
Organise findings using severity, exposure, exploitability, asset criticality and relevant business context.
Help organise corrective actions, ownership, dependencies and target priorities based on the agreed engagement.
Where included in scope, review remediation evidence or reassess selected findings to understand their current status.
A repeatable lifecycle helps security teams manage findings, communicate ownership and review remediation progress over time.
Establish the assessment scope and identify relevant assets and potential weaknesses.
Review findings, assess evidence and consider severity, exposure and asset context.
Organise remediation priorities and identify the actions requiring attention.
Track agreed corrective actions and reassess selected findings where included in scope.
The delivery process is agreed in advance to align assessment activities with your environment, availability requirements and operational constraints.
Confirm in-scope assets, objectives, access requirements, testing boundaries and operational considerations.
Conduct the agreed assessment activities and review results in the context of the systems being examined.
Document findings and recommendations, including relevant risk context and suggested corrective actions.
Where agreed, review remediation status and reassess selected items to help establish whether issues remain.
Answers to common questions about scope, prioritisation and remediation.
Vulnerability assessment identifies potential weaknesses in systems or applications within an agreed scope. Vulnerability management adds an ongoing process for evaluating findings, prioritising remediation and tracking progress.
Prioritisation can consider severity scores, exploitability, exposure, asset criticality and business impact. The final approach should reflect the organisation's risk criteria and operational context.
Not automatically. Vulnerability assessment and penetration testing are related but distinct activities. Any penetration testing, exploitation validation or additional testing should be explicitly agreed as part of the engagement scope.
The assessment scope can be designed around eligible cloud, on-premises or hybrid assets, subject to access, technical constraints and the agreed methods.
Findings and remediation recommendations can inform your internal teams or technology partners. Hands-on remediation, retesting and ongoing tracking should be defined in the agreed scope.
