Vulnerability Management Program (VMP)

We take a risk-based approach to identify, categorize, and prioritize vulnerabilities based on what's most important to you, so you can stay one step ahead of attackers, and ensure your most valuable assets are secure.

Penetration Testing

Information gathering

Perform comprehensive discovery and enumeration procedures to target pertinent internal address ranges. Establish a baseline of services to manually test for common configuration issues and vulnerabilities.

Verification and manual testing

Review and validate all identified vulnerabilities to remove false positives. Human-driven manual testing procedures are executed to identify flaws not easily identified with automated tools. Penetration Testing is performed against identified vulnerabilities to evaluate the effectiveness of security controls.

Vulnerability discovery

Perform detailed security analysis and vulnerability scanning using a comprehensive suite of tools.

60% of all breaches are the result of unpatched vulnerabilities

Each day, new vulnerabilities are discovered that can potentially provide entry into your digital assets. As those vulnerabilities remain unpatched or systems remain misconfigured, organizational risk is heightened. Additionally, many organizations leverage an annual penetration test to uncover weaknesses in their systems, but this point-in-time analysis often leaves weaknesses undiscovered for months on end.

A critical component of our Managed Detection and Response (MDR) solution, Pondurance’s VMP is designed to address this challenge. We combine periodic vulnerability scanning with a full, scheduled penetration test. Our VMP service adds precision, priority and efficiency, reducing the attack surface your digital assets present to would-be attackers. Pondurance’s VMP is another way we provide you with peace of mind.

VMP Choreography

Develop your custom asset profile that takes inventory of your digital assets in scope, including supporting infrastructure and applications.
Conduct time-based scans on established frequency to detect, classify and prioritize findings related to unpatched systems and misconfigurations.
Present findings to client management with added interpretation and technical support as required to foster remediation.

Why Pondurance?

We help balance out a reliance on technology.

Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) tools are leveraged by both attackers and defenders. When such parity is achieved, the advantage is with the attacker, as the attacker only has to be correct once to successfully effectuate an exploit, whereas defenders must be correct at all times.

Cybersecurity will, therefore, always be a human battle, and both ML and AI have to be used as force multipliers — not as a replacement.

Our experience is a differentiator.

Our efforts have helped authorities on the state and federal levels track down cybercriminals and unveil numerous zero-day vulnerabilities. While attribution is not a primary objective, we are proud of our record of bringing bad actors to justice where we can. It’s our way of helping the community.

This connection at the state level and with the FBI at the federal level makes us a strong partner to have on your side.

We’re always on, and we always collaborate.

Backing up our team of 24/7 threat hunters, our consulting team has over 250 years of combined cybersecurity experience in a variety of industries. The collaboration of our offensive (pen testing) and defensive (security operations center) teams drives instant value that keeps our threat hunters on the cutting edge.

We are truly a team of experts with all eyes on your security.

Penetration Testing Companies

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, organizations are increasingly recognizing the importance of fortifying their cybersecurity defenses. Penetration testing companies, commonly referred to as “pen testing” providers, play a pivotal role in this endeavor by assessing and enhancing security postures. Top pen testing companies simulate cyber attacks to identify vulnerabilities, and Pondurance stands out among them with its rigorous standards and cutting-edge technology usage.

The rise of cyber threats has propelled top penetration testing companies into the spotlight as indispensable partners in safeguarding sensitive information and systems. These organizations specialize in conducting simulated cyber attacks to identify vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them.

Elements of Penetration Testing Companies

Penetration testing companies scrutinize the vulnerabilities in an organization’s cyber infrastructure to identify areas of weakness. Pondurance, a leader in the field, offers comprehensive services in penetration testing. Leveraging cutting-edge methodologies and a team of seasoned professionals, Pondurance assists businesses in identifying and rectifying security gaps proactively.

Benefits of Engaging with Penetration Testing Companies

Comprehensive Risk Assessment:
