Get a Network Security Scan to Safeguard Your Business

As cyber threats change and evolve, businesses must proactively identify and mitigate vulnerabilities to protect sensitive data and maintain operational integrity. At Tanner Security, we provide a network security scan designed to uncover and address potential security weaknesses before cybercriminals can exploit them. This proactive approach ensures your business is secure and prepared for potential threats. Many companies can provide a network security scan, but few make the reports easy to read with simple remediation steps.

We provide thorough and ongoing network vulnerability assessments to uncover common threats such as outdated server OS versions, insecure server settings, default login credentials, unencrypted network protocols, excessive user account access and recently discovered Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE). Our services include Internal Network Vulnerability Assessments (NVA) and External Network Vulnerability Assessments, each tailored to address specific security needs.

A network security scan is a compliance requirement (PCI DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001, NISA, and GDPR), and vulnerability management is required for an effective Cybersecurity program.

Like a Network Penetration Test, a network vulnerability assessment is much more cost-effective and can provide a list of actionable items for your IT team to mitigate. Our team specializes in conducting network vulnerability scans and has performed them for over a decade for some of the largest companies in the region.

Why is a Network Security Scan Essential

A network security scan is a fundamental component of a comprehensive cybersecurity program and essential for IT compliance. Our scans examine your network infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and other security issues that cybercriminals could exploit. Regularly performing a network security scan helps to ensure your network remains secure, compliant with industry standards, and resilient against cyber threats.

Network Security Scan Process

Our Network Security Scanning Services

    1. Vulnerability Assessment: Our vulnerability assessment scans identify security weaknesses across your network, including servers, workstations, firewalls, and other network devices. We use industry-leading tools to detect known vulnerabilities, outdated software, and configuration issues that could be a risk to your network.
    2. Penetration Testing: Our services go beyond basic scanning to simulate real-world cyber-attacks. By attempting to exploit identified vulnerabilities, we can evaluate the effectiveness of your existing security measures and provide actionable recommendations to enhance your network’s defenses.
    3. Compliance Scanning: Many industries are subject to regulatory requirements, such as NIST, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. Our network scanning services ensure you meet all relevant standards, helping you avoid costly fines and reputational damage associated with non-compliance.
    4. Continuous Monitoring: Cyber threats constantly evolve, so continuous monitoring and scanning are critical. We offer ongoing network security scans that provide real-time insights into your network’s security posture, enabling you to respond swiftly to emerging threats.
    5. Configuration Audits: Misconfigurations are a common source of security vulnerabilities. Our configuration audits thoroughly review your network’s settings to ensure they align with best practices and industry standards, minimizing the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches.

It is my pleasure to highly recommend Tanner Security Consultants.  As a company dealing with large-scale construction projects, ensuring the safety and integrity of our digital infrastructure is crucial to our operations. Tanner Security Consultants not only met but exceeded all of our expectations.

Network Vulnerability Scans

Internal Network Security Scan

Our Internal Network Vulnerability Assessments focus on identifying and addressing vulnerabilities within your organization’s internal network. This service is crucial for detecting potential threats that could arise from within the IT environment, such as misconfigurations, outdated software, and unauthorized access points. By simulating an attack inside a network, we understand the impact and risk a malicious insider or compromised device could cause.

External Network Security Scan

External Network Vulnerability Assessments target an organization’s external-facing assets, including firewalls, web servers, and other network devices accessible from the Internet. This assessment will identify vulnerabilities that external attackers could exploit. We simulate real-world attacks to uncover potential entry points, ensuring the IT controls are effective at targeted attacks against an external network. External tests should be performed regularly.

What You Can Expect

After a thorough assessment of your organization’s servers and IT systems, Tanner Security delivers a detailed report that includes:

  • Executive Summary: A concise overview of the assessment findings.
  • Number of Discovered Vulnerabilities: Clear insights into the scope of vulnerabilities identified.
  • Severity Assessment: Evaluation of the severity level of each identified vulnerability.
  • Risk Pattern Analysis: Identification of recurring risk patterns to inform future security measures.
  • Host Risk Level: Assessment of the risk level associated with each identified host.
  • Prioritized Action Plan: A tailored plan outlining actionable steps to address identified vulnerabilities.

Why Choose Tanner Security?

Network Security Scan vs. Penetration Tests

While both Network Vulnerability Assessments and Penetration Tests are essential for maintaining a secure network, they serve different purposes and involve distinct processes.

  • Network Vulnerability Assessments: These assessments involve automated scanning tools to identify known vulnerabilities within your network. The primary goal is to catalog and prioritize vulnerabilities based on risk. Regular assessments help maintain a continuously updated view of your network’s security posture.
  • Penetration Tests: Unlike vulnerability assessments, penetration tests are manual and goal-oriented. They involve ethical hackers attempting to exploit vulnerabilities to understand how far an attacker could penetrate your network. Penetration tests provide a deeper analysis by demonstrating the real-world impact of identified vulnerabilities.

Why Choose Tanner Security?

At Tanner Security Consultants, our experienced team uses cutting-edge tools and methodologies to deliver comprehensive and accurate assessments. We provide detailed reports with actionable recommendations to enhance network security and ensure continuous protection against evolving threats.
