How a single vulnerability detection AND remediation solution can make a real difference.

‘76% of enterprises lack a holistic vulnerability management strategy in general, while over 70% are in the dark entirely regarding their critical assets and vulnerabilities’ Gartner

With cyber-attacks on the rise, any and every vulnerability across your IT environment is open to exploitation. And you may be surprised at just how ‘at risk’ your business is – in 2023 over 90% of successful cyberattacks targeted unpatched software vulnerabilities, and the level of those vulnerabilities is up by 47% since 2021. That’s software alone: every other aspect of your IT is a potential risk too.

It is not enough to simply raise your risk awareness levels. Those vulnerabilities have to be fixed, too – before they are exploited. That’s where VDR from LIMA comes in. It provides vulnerability detection and remediation in a single end-to-end solution.

The VDR ‘mantra’ is Review. Reveal. Resolve and in this blog, we look at how it works and why it makes such a difference.

Review

Your IT security is only as strong as its weakest points. VDR shines a light on every aspect of your IT environment – hardware, software, third parties, systems, networks and applications – and continuously monitors it in depth, across 500+ technologies.

Reveal

Your security may not be as robust as you think. One recent VDR review revealed a remarkable 12,000 weaknesses in a single system. VDR identifies all those hidden vulnerabilities, prioritises them and keeps you informed about your risk profile with tailored monthly report.

Resolve

VDR doesn’t just reveal those vulnerabilities though. It resolves them too, with unprecedented remediation coverage across your IT technologies – meeting and exceeding all regulatory requirements with outstanding guaranteed SLAs, aligned with Cyber Essentials Plus. That’s particularly relevant, as nearly half (49.9%) of vulnerabilities revealed, on average, affect CE+ compliance.

Delivering a proactive approach to cybersecurity

Many businesses, of course, lack the resources and expertise to consistently review and reveal vulnerabilities, let alone resolve them. But in an ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape, VDR seamlessly maintains compliance, operating within an outstanding SLA to speedily address identified vulnerabilities through specialist teams with 25+ years of experience and expertise in remediation. While they take care of these complex management and remediation tasks, your IT team can focus on delivering services to grow the business.

Continuous monitoring with a tailored, cost-efficient service

This isn’t a one off, short-term ‘fix’. Continuous monitoring by VDR identifies emerging threats as well as existing vulnerabilities with a high level of accuracy to minimise false positive results – 99.99966%. Risks are prioritised and addressed according to severity and vulnerability to enhance security, prevent breaches and minimise downtime and disruption.

Monthly reports, produced in person by the teams working on your business, are tailored to their relevant audiences: high-level, easily digestible business-based reports at board level, for instance, and in-depth, detailed technical reports for the IT team. So you always know where you’re up to, and the VDR team are always on call for one-to-one support.

Pricing is clear and predictable too. VDR is a subscription service with no upfront costs and prices fixed according to requirements, so you can budget more effectively. And as it provides human and technical resources you don’t have in-house, there’s no need for expensive recruitment and retention, or additional investment.

The sooner you get started, the sooner your vulnerabilities are spotted – and solved. In one.

Once you have subscribed to VDR, initial vulnerability reports are delivered within thirty days, with actions deployed within three to five days on an ongoing basis – easily exceeding CE compliance requirements. VDRs mediation KPIs are 2 days for Windows, for instance, compared to the required 3 days, and 7 days for Infrastructure, compared to 14.

Reviewing, revealing and resolving vulnerabilities before they’re exploited keeps you ahead of the game in the fight against cybercrime, and VDR from LIMA provides you with the opportunity to do exactly that – efficiently and effectively, with no additional strain on your IT resources.
