    vulnerability assessments

    How do you prevent data breaches? We normally conduct vulnerability assessments quarterly but we have been advised to to do it weekly and that we should do vulnerability scans against every system in both our internal and external network. Do you think weekly assessment is ideal? Thanks.

    Perhaps you mean a vulnerability analysis right? There are tools that could provide you a detailed picture of the problems that exist and the risks associated with those. It can even provide you a fast and affordable analysis or assessments.

    Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) provides enterprises with a more comprehensive application evaluation than any single test alone.

    Our company handles some banking information so we're required by the PCI DSS to have a good score when it comes to vulnerabilities. We recently got BeyondTrust's vulnerability management solution and it's really easy to use.

    This is the assessment which defines, identifies the security breaches in the computer and computer network. It is used to identifies the threat in the network resources. It reduces the consequences if an attack occurs.

    I would suggest, it will be best practice if you will perform it weekly. It will help to reduce the network attack.

    Determining the frequency of vulnerability scans is pretty subjective. It depends on the company’s commitment level to cybersecurity, compliance requirements, infrastructure change, or their respective threat landscape.

    Companies use different strategies to decide how frequently vulnerability assessments need to be run. The strategies are:

    Change-based: fast-moving companies that deploy new code or infrastructure in quick succession need regular vulnerability assessments. Any new update or change can cause huge configuration mistakes or introduce known vulnerabilities. Even minor changes call for detailed vulnerability scanning.

    Hygiene-based: Even if no changes are deployed, new vulnerabilities can emerge in old software overnight. Many devastating cyberattacks, like the WannaCry ransomware or the Equifax breach, were caused because of newly discovered flaws in existing software.

    Compliance-based: Specific compliance regulations explicitly state the required frequency of vulnerability assessments. PCI DSS calls for quarterly security scans for all systems within its scope.

    You can follow a combination of these strategies, so that every requirement and network aspect is covered.
