Exploiting known vulnerabilities is a favorite technique for cybercriminals because it’s easy and works. In fact, many highly-publicized events, including the WannaCry attack and Equifax breach, leveraged known vulnerabilities.
An important step to protect your organization from this threat is to routinely scan your network for known vulnerabilities. Once identified, develop an action plan to mitigate your risk from that vulnerability.
Given the complex and volatile nature of the cyber threat environment, along with competing priorities and limited resources, it can be difficult to stay on top of this task. Tyler’s Vulnerability Scanning Service is a subscription program that will take this burden off your shoulders and deliver actionable results to mitigate network vulnerability risk.

Independent AnalysisIndependent testing / separation of duties is an information security best practice because it removes bias and is often more effective at finding vulnerabilities. Subscribing with Tyler prevents the potential for fraud or conflict of interest, and it can reduce errors. |

Easy-to-Navigate ReportingMost vulnerability scanning solutions provide a stock report listing all known vulnerabilities found during the scan. This report could be hundreds of pages and difficult to navigate. Tyler’s report organizes and consolidates findings, plus we provide you with an action plan. |

|
Consistent & ReliableNew vulnerabilities are discovered every day without fail. These discoveries add to a growing inventory of network exposures that requires constant monitoring and assessment. Tyler’s subscription delivers consistent vulnerability scans based on the latest threat intelligence to build network security into your normal business operations. |

|
Cost-Effective & FlexibleNo on-site data collection is required, which saves you both time and money. The initial configuration and subsequent scans are all done remotely. Scans can be performed according to your frequency and timing needs. Your subscription can include internal network, external network, or both. |
Tyler's reports are designed for ease of use, so administrators can easily get the information they need to remediate the findings. Finding are organized, consolidated, and sorted by severity and IP Address. You can drill down to see the details of a particular finding, view all vulnerabilities on a single IP address, and view all hosts that have the same vulnerability. You are also provided an editable action plan for tracking remediation.
While it seems that today’s cybercriminals have a myriad of tricks and techniques at the ready to gain access to your network, the reality is that they are typically taking advantage of common vulnerabilities – such as unpatched software or default passwords – time and time again.
That’s why establishing a regular process for finding those vulnerabilities that put you at risk is a critical part of your cybersecurity program.
There is no single, straight path that will get you to the point where you can say, “We did it! We’re 100% cyber-secure.”
A more realistic destination is cyber resiliency – the ability to prepare for and adapt to changing conditions, so you can withstand and recover rapidly from disruptions. Achieving cyber resilience depends on what we like to call the cybersecurity lifecycle – an ongoing cycle of interconnected elements that compliment and reinforce one another.
