Description

What is it?

IP Vulnerability Assessment (IPVA) is a process of identifying and evaluating security weaknesses or vulnerabilities associated with your organization's public-facing IP addresses and the systems/services behind them.

 It focuses on potential threats that could be exploited by attackers to gain unauthorized access, disrupt operations, or steal data.  


Technical Data

How to do it?
Identify Assets Make a comprehensive list of all your public-facing IP addresses, including servers, routers, firewalls, and any other internet-connected devices.
Scan for Vulnerabilities Use vulnerability scanning tools to probe these IPs for known vulnerabilities. These tools often utilize a combination of techniques:
Port Scanning Identify open ports and the services running on them.
Version Detection Determine the software versions of identified services.
Vulnerability Databases Cross-reference discovered services and versions with known vulnerabilities.
Exploit Attempts (Safe) Some scanners might attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in a safe manner to confirm their existence.
Analyze Results Carefully review the scan results, paying attention to critical and high-severity vulnerabilities. Understand the potential impact of each vulnerability.
Prioritize Remediation Based on the severity and potential impact, prioritize which vulnerabilities to address first.
Remediate Take action to fix or mitigate the identified vulnerabilities. This may involve:
Applying Patches Install updates and patches from software vendors.
Configuration Changes Harden configurations to close security gaps.
Firewall Rules Adjust firewall rules to block unnecessary traffic.
Security Upgrades Consider upgrading outdated or vulnerable software.
