Penetration Testing Penetration testing is a critical addition to vulnerability management. While vulnerability management identifies potential weaknesses, penetration testing takes it a step further by actively trying to exploit these vulnerabilities. This simulated attack on the system provides a real-world perspective on what an actual cyber attack would look like. It helps businesses understand not just where the vulnerabilities are, but also how they can be exploited and the potential damage that could be caused. This insight is invaluable in prioritizing remediation efforts and strengthening security defenses.

Network Management Network management complements vulnerability management by ensuring the smooth operation of your network infrastructure. It involves the continuous oversight of your network’s performance, ensuring its availability, and maintaining its integrity and security. Effective network management helps in identifying unusual network behavior or traffic patterns, which could be indicative of a cyber threat. It allows for quick response and remediation, minimizing the potential impact of any security incident.
