Through the implementation of a network security assessment, your organization is able to identify network security vulnerabilities and proactively resolve them before a costly cyberattack.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Perform A Network Security Assessment?<\/h2>\n<p>Being able to identify security vulnerabilities and weaknesses within networks, will give your organization the ability to resolve security risks that could lead to data breaches and attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Consistent network security assessments should be conducted due to the continuous change in technology, software updates, and viruses which lead to the introduction of new vulnerabilities. Preparing and defending against new vulnerabilities will improve your organization\u2019s overall network, data, and device security.<\/p>\n<h2>Types Of Network Security Assessments<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/seaglasstech.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/a-laptop-connected-to-a-secure-network-through-network-security-assessments.jpg\" alt=\"a laptop connected to a secure network through network security assessments\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2174\" \/>There are two major types of network security assessments to consider, vulnerability assessments and penetration testing. Both types of assessments are equally important when safeguarding your organization\u2019s network security.<\/p>\n<h3>Vulnerability Assessment<\/h3>\n<p>A vulnerability assessment is a more holistic view of your network security, identifying weaknesses from both inside and outside the network. The process of a vulnerability assessment includes identifying and measuring the overall severity of infrastructure loopholes.<\/p>\n<p>This assessment is designed to showcase and pinpoint the location of existing flaws in code and networks. This information is valuable to organizations in that they are able to plan the steps needed to resolve the identified security risks.<\/p>\n<h3>Penetration Testing<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/seaglasstech.wpenginepowered.com\/penetration-testing\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Penetration testing<\/a> is a more hands-on approach at assessing network security, as it involves simulating a cyberattack to identify network security vulnerabilities and weaknesses.<\/p>\n<p>Internal hackers, or \u201cethical hackers\u201d, perform hacking tactics within a controlled environment, in order to find vulnerabilities within networks and attempt to exploit them. The detection and awareness of vulnerabilities found during a penetration test can greatly reduce the risk of real-life cybersecurity attacks and data breaches.<\/p>\n<h2>Speak To The Experienced IT Security Professionals<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/tech-explaining-to-client.jpg\" alt=\"Tech guy explaining something to client\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1863\" \/>As the saying goes, hindsight is 20\/20.
