Known flaws are the attacker’s shortcut
Most successful attacks don’t use brand-new techniques. They use known flaws that were never patched: an old VPN appliance, a browser two versions behind, a web plugin nobody updates. Attackers scan the internet for these automatically. The defense is just as systematic: find them first and fix them in the right order.
What’s included
- Automated scanning of laptops, servers, cloud workloads and internet-facing systems on a regular schedule.
- Web application scanning for common flaws in your sites and customer portals.
- Managed patching for Windows, macOS and Linux, plus common third-party software.
- Risk-based prioritization using exploit data, not just severity scores.
- Remote-friendly delivery. Agents patch laptops wherever they are, no office network needed.
- Monthly reporting on open vulnerabilities, patch coverage and what changed.
How we prioritize
A long list of “critical” findings isn’t useful. Fix order is decided by:
- Known exploitation. Is the flaw in CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog or being used in active attacks?
- Exposure. Is the affected system reachable from the internet?
- Data at stake. Does the system hold or reach sensitive data?
- Severity. The CVSS score, used as a tiebreaker rather than the only signal.
The cycle
Discover
Build and maintain an inventory of every device, server and app, because you can’t patch what you don’t know about.
Scan
Run scheduled scans and continuous agent checks to find missing patches and risky configurations.
Prioritize
Rank findings by real-world risk and agree target timelines with you.
Patch and verify
Deploy patches in tested waves, then rescan to confirm each issue is closed.
Where it fits
Scanning and patching keep the routine gaps closed. A periodic penetration test checks what a skilled attacker could still do, SaaS and cloud posture management covers configuration risk, and MDR watches for anything that gets through.
