Why do I need Cyber Essentials
A number of businesses don’t have sufficient cyber security controls in place.
Cyber attacks continue to increase and the costs of dealing with a breach can be significant.
Going through the Cyber Essentials certifcation process will highlight the gaps in your current cyber security controls allowing you to implement additional controls designed to make a breach much less likely .
What is Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Management?
Penetration testing, also known as pen testing, aims to improve your overall level of cybersecurity by carrying out a simulated attack on a business, using the same tactics, techniques and procedures that would be used by a hacker who was targeting that business. Tests are typically done on an annual basis.
Vulnerability management aims to improve your overall level of cybersecurity by checking for known vulnerabilities in your systems, so that you can “patch” them before an attacker finds them. Vulnerability management is typically done on a monthly or quarterly basis.
Both are used to provide a level of assurance over the controls that the company has invested in, however, gaps still exist.
The disconnect arises from penetration tests and vulnerability management being carried out on regular but infrequent basis, due to a lack of skilled resources and cost constraints. That could leave an organisation exposed to security misconfiguration and new vulnerabilities between testing.
