Vulnerability scanning finds your weak spots, before attackers do.
We run vulnerability scanning as a managed service enabling you to quickly and affordably fix weaknesses in your network before attackers can exploit them.
What is Vulnerability Scanning?
Traditional vulnerability scanning is an automated process, that empowers organisations to identify weaknesses in their technical estate which could be used by threat actors to access or move across organisational systems. At CyPro, our UK-based Vulnerability Assessment team couple automated tools, with their experience to identify and prioritise relevant vulnerabilities but more importantly, manage and coordinate the remediation process, keeping your business secure in a rapidly-evolving cyber threat landscape.

Human Validation
Our experts verify automated findings, filtering out false positives and highlighting genuine threats that need attention.
Risk Prioritisation
We categorise vulnerabilities based on severity and potential impact, enabling you to focus on critical issues first.

Your Challenges
Time To Remediate
Verizon’s 2024 Data Breach Incident Report found the average time to patch is 49 days – a window of opportunity for attackers to exploit weaknesses and breach your systems.
Performance Degradation
Unpatched vulnerabilities can cause performance issues (such as lagging) and down time in affected systems, which can in turn impact on your day-to-day business operations.
Reputational Damage
Public disclosure of vulnerabilities can cause customers to question your commitment to cyber security and can reduce trust within your client base.
Technical Debt
There are valid reasons not to patch a vulnerability, e.g. system downtime. Long-term this hesitation leads to the accumulation of ‘technical debt’, amassing out-of-support operating systems that become harder and harder to fix.
