Ensuring robust cybersecurity is no longer a periodic task but a continuous necessity. Traditional vulnerability management, with its reliance on one-time assessments, often fails to provide the sustained protection that modern businesses need. This is where a subscription-based model for vulnerability management steps in, offering a more dynamic and comprehensive solution.  

“Companies spend millions of dollars on firewalls, encryption, and secure access devices, and it’s money wasted because none of these measures address the weakest link in the security chain – the human element,” says Kevin Mitnick, cybersecurity expert.

Common attack vectors such as phishing, ransomware, and application vulnerabilities constantly evolve, making continuous monitoring and protection essential. By adopting a subscription service for vulnerability management, businesses can achieve ongoing protection, addressing both technical and human vulnerabilities. This spreads out costs, making it more manageable, and ensures that your defenses are continuously updated and monitored.  

The Vulnerability Management status-quo

Traditional vulnerability management typically relies on sporadic, one-time assessments. These assessments, while thorough when conducted, offer only a snapshot of your security posture. As cyber threats evolve rapidly, the results of these tests quickly become outdated, leaving your systems vulnerable between assessments.  

Additionally, the high costs associated with these one-off tests can be a financial burden, and they often fail to address the continuous nature of modern cyber threats. This approach lacks the ongoing vigilance needed to maintain robust security, making it increasingly inadequate for today's landscape.

Why change to subscription-based Vulnerability Management

Continuous awareness

Subscription services provide regular, ongoing monitoring and assessments, ensuring your defenses are always up-to-date against the latest threats. This continuous awareness is crucial for maintaining a robust security posture.

Cost-effectiveness

With fixed monthly fees, subscription models make budgeting simpler and eliminate the financial strain of large, unexpected expenses associated with one-time tests. This cost-effective approach spreads the cost over time, providing comprehensive protection without hefty upfront fees.

Comprehensive coverage

Subscription services offer a wide range of essential cybersecurity services, including penetration tests, vulnerability assessments, application assessments, firewall assessments, and awareness campaigns. This ensures that all aspects of your cybersecurity are addressed under one comprehensive plan.

Accessibility

User-friendly, secure web applications make it easy to access reports, monitor security status, and stay informed from anywhere. This accessibility enhances the efficiency of managing your cybersecurity.

Expert support

Ongoing access to cybersecurity experts provides businesses with continuous guidance and support. This ensures quick responses to emerging threats and the implementation of best practices for maintaining strong security.
