Why vulnerability detection and remediation is needed for customers

Minimising the danger of a cyber attack is complex and time-consuming, yet absolutely critical for modern businesses. In 2023 alone, over 90% of successful cyberattacks involved the exploitation of unpatched software vulnerabilities, demonstrating the impact that poor vulnerability management has on increasing your risk of a cyberattack.

With the amount of software vulnerabilities increasing by 47% since 2021, a proactive approach to identifying your vulnerabilities is imperative for fast and accurate remediation.

In this blog, we discuss six reasons why your business should use our Vulnerability Detection and Remediation (VDR) service and the benefits of doing so.

1. Clearly identify vulnerabilities

Reduce vulnerability exposure by identifying areas for improvement, including out-of-date software, misconfigured firewalls, and inadequate network configuration settings. With LIMA’s rapid deployment and market-leading vulnerability tooling, our VDR can be up and running in the majority of environments in three to five days, with your first set of executive and technical reports delivered within thirty days. This allows you to quickly discover your weakest points, reducing your vulnerability to attackers.

2. Gain unprecedented remediation coverage

With our capacity to find and remediate vulnerabilities across 500+ different technological products, including hardware, software and third parties we can help you boost your data security. As remediation experts, we ensure that the vulnerabilities detected by VDR will be fixed, with Service-Level Agreements based on severity, relevance, and the time required to resolve each issue. Our advanced remediation capabilities includes cloud, applications, data, and platform remediation for end-to-end restoration, exceeding Cyber Essentials Plus standards to fulfil certification requirements.

3. Effortlessly meet your regulatory requirements

Our VDR is SLA aligned with mandatory requirements for the majority of Cyber Insurance policies. LIMA ensures VDR can remediate every new emerging threat within the timeframe required by Cyber Essentials Plus. If your company has previously struggled to meet these parameters, or if you’re applying for Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation, VDR from LIMA can help get you where you need to be. VDR also exceeds Cyber+ standards and is SLA backed.

4. Tailored reports for different audiences

Individualised reports provide a deeper understanding of your VDR service and are broken down by our cyber experts on a monthly basis for full clarity. VDR from LIMA automatically generates two types of reports. The executive-level report informs board members about the performance of the solution and flags emerging threats that the business needs to be aware of. Meanwhile, the technical report provides your Technical or IT Director with the information needed to address current vulnerabilities on a daily basis.

5. Clear, predictable pricing

Trust LIMA to continuously detect and remediate vulnerabilities in your system, all for a single monthly price. This cost is transparently calculated based on the number of assets and the types of system being covered by your VDR service (e.g. Microsoft, Linux, VMWare etc). We also offer the ability to pick and choose your remediation for where you need it, making it more accessible and cost-effective.

6. Plug skill gaps

As demand for cyber-security expertise grows, outsourcing is a popular option that allows businesses to gain access to specialised skill sets while saving time and money. With our 25+ years of remediation experience, LIMA’s breadth and expertise in technology delivers high-quality end-to-end remediation, as well as rapid technical support whenever you need it.
