VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENTSecurity Vulnerability Assessment

What is the threat of security vulnerabilities？

New and more sophisticated vulnerabilities are discovered every day.

Hackers will continue to develop more advanced cyber-attacks to break into corporate networks and steal sensitive data. Mason's security testing team makes effort to keep up with the latest changes in the information security field by constantly monitoring for new vulnerabilities and checking for updates to the scan tool database.

Daily IT operations causes security vulnerabilities due to changes in application and network configurations.

Changes to application and network components can create new security weaknesses.
New vulnerabilities may arise after changes are made to a customer's network or applications. With that in mind, the security team should conduct a vulnerability assessment after each major update or release to ensure that the changes implemented do not open new avenues for intruders to attack your infrastructure.

MASON's Security Vulnerability Assessment Services

Mason's Vulnerability Assessment provides diagnostic services for the following IT infrastructure and application vulnerabilities:

IT Infrastructure Vulnerability Assessment

Network Vulnerability

Diagnose operational efficiency of network segments, network access control, remote connection to external networks, implementation of firewall controls, etc.

Mail Service Vulnerability

Diagnose susceptibility to phishing attacks and spam emails.

Application Vulnerability Assessment

MASON's Vulnerability Assessment Approach

Mason's security team uses a combination of automated and manual approaches to perform vulnerability assessments.

Automated Approach

Automated scanning tools are determined based on customer's needs, requirements, and budget. These scans can detect if customers are exposed to those vulnerabilities because of the database management of vulnerability knowledge. The main advantage of an automated approach is that it provides broad coverage of security weaknesses that may exist on different devices and hosts on the network, regardless of time.

Manual Approach

Manual tuning of scan tools as well as manual validation of scan results to eliminate false positives. Upon completion of these manual assessments performed by our experts, you will receive reliable results that contain only confirmed incidents.

Security Vulnerability Assessment Report

Two reports of the security vulnerability assessment will be delivered to the customer as follows:

Executive Summary

Information about the customer’s overall security status and any weaknesses identified in a way that is easy to understand for employees who are not fully knowledgeable in the security field will be provided.
In addition to this, valuable recommendations on corrective actions to be taken to remediate the vulnerabilities revealed will be provided.

Various Diagnostic Results

The degree of compliance with various security regulations, certifications, and standards (PCI DSS, NIST, GDPR, etc.) will also be included in the report.
