Vulnerability Management as a Service (VMaaS)
Why is vulnerability management important?
Cybercriminals continuously seek to exploit vulnerabilities in software to deploy malicious code, steal data, or take control of devices. With over 100 vulnerabilities logged daily in the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), it is crucial to manage and reduce your exposure to such threats. Software vulnerabilities can be exploited by cyber-criminals, potentially compromising your business.
What does Vulnerability Management as a Service involve?
Advanced vulnerability monitoring
Proactive baselining and real-time monitoring
Automated third-party software patching
Monthly reporting and expert recommendations
Advanced vulnerability monitoring
VMaaS employs a powerful monitoring tool that scans all your workstations and servers to detect potential weaknesses. This tool continuously identifies vulnerabilities across your devices, providing a clear understanding of where your organisation is most at risk and what needs immediate attention.
Proactive baselining and real-time monitoring
At the start of the service, we conduct a baselining activity to significantly reduce existing vulnerabilities across your devices. From there, VMaaS provides continuous, real-time monitoring of your IT environment, deploying updates as soon as vulnerabilities are detected, ensuring your organisation remains secure.
Automated third-party software patching
Keeping your software up to date is vital for security. VMaaS automates the patching process for a broad range of third-party applications, ensuring your systems are always updated with the latest security patches. For software outside of our supported catalogue, we offer custom-update packages, guaranteeing comprehensive coverage across your devices.
Monthly reporting and expert recommendations
Each month, ramsac delivers detailed reports outlining how vulnerabilities have been addressed and reduced. These reports highlight key actions taken and provide tailored recommendations on how to further strengthen your cybersecurity posture. Our expert guidance helps you stay protected against new and evolving threats.
How does VMaaS work?
01
Initial Assessment
At the start of the service, ramsac will deploy its state-of-the-art vulnerability monitoring tool across your workstations and servers. This tool will automatically scan your devices to identify any vulnerabilities, providing a clear view of potential risks across your IT estate.
02
Baselining Activity
Over the next few weeks, ramsac will work to reduce the number of vulnerabilities by updating or removing old software, uninstalling outdated user profiles, and enabling automatic patching for supported software.
03
Proactive Management
After the baselining activity, ramsac will continuously monitor and manage your IT environment, providing regular monthly reports on how vulnerabilities are being reduced, alongside recommendations for further improvements.
