Why Vulnerability Scanning Is Essential For Your Business
Vulnerability scanning offers an overview of the state of your IT security as well as how well you might be fair if you were subject to an attack. This allows you to negate threats before they happen. Therefore by performing scans, organizations save money by preventing IT system damage, business disruption, or potential fines for data loss or theft.
Scanning can contribute towards a variety of organizational security standards and is advised as part of compliance with ISO 27001. It is also required by some industry and regulatory bodies.
Proof of regular scanning is also a sign that an organization is actively engaged with its IT security. This attention to detail is something that new customers may look for in the general character of an organization to ensure that its data will remain safe when working with them.
