What is the difference between a vulnerability assessment and a penetration test?

A vulnerability assessment focuses on identifying potential weaknesses, while a penetration test simulates attacks to exploit those weaknesses. Ideally, businesses should perform both as part of a robust IT security assessment strategy.

How often should businesses perform vulnerability assessments?

At a minimum, quarterly. High-risk sectors such as finance, healthcare, or eCommerce should conduct monthly scans to ensure optimal cyber threat protection.

What types of vulnerabilities are commonly found?

Some common ones include unpatched software, default credentials, open ports, outdated plugins, and weak encryption methods. Identifying these through cybersecurity risk assessments can prevent larger incidents.
