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| Security Upgrades | Consider upgrading outdated or vulnerable software. |
