Vulnerability assessment is the process of identifying, quantifying, and prioritizing (or ranking) the vulnerabilities in a system.
With multiple PC, server and network appliance systems in your network, ensuring all systems are safe from the multitude of threats on the Internet and from within your network can be a time expensive and difficult task.
By utilising a vulnerability management system, your network can be continually monitored for vulnerabilities alerting and pinpointing administrators to issues that require resolution whilst also ensuring that high priority issues are not neglected whilst effort is expended on low priority resolutions.
