Prior to 2025, ransomware groups were fewer and tended to focus on larger organizations. That’s no longer the case. This year, SMBs were squarely in the crosshairs, as ransomware hit them hard, and the numbers tell the story.

What vulnerabilities might be lurking undetected within your organization’s network, waiting to be exploited? One of the most effective ways to find out is through vulnerability assessments, a process of systematically scanning your environment for known weaknesses in software, configurations, and systems. Unlike penetration testing, which simulates real-world attacks to exploit vulnerabilities, vulnerability assessments focus on detection, prioritization, and remediation planning.

Your cybersecurity posture is constantly being tested, whether you know it or not. Like viruses outside the body, hackers are always checking gaps in the perimeter for entry to set up shop for their nefarious activities. The most proactive organizations check for those gaps before hackers have the chance to get to them. Penetration testing simulates cyberattacks designed to uncover vulnerabilities before malicious actors do.
