As malware and hackers become more sophisticated, the corresponding security solutions needed to combat these threats are becoming more complex and need to be continually updated. The potential for gaps and vulnerability is increasing.
Organisations are increasingly asking – are we safe? The answer to this question requires process, policy, proof. Common, objective methods of ‘proof’ include ASD Maturity level, the NIST Framework, ISO 27001 certification and PCI DSS compliance.
Kytec can work with you to perform a security gap analysis for your security infrastructure where key business flows are determined, along with the corresponding ‘IT journey’ – gaps in capability and functionality are then identified. The process consists of information gathering and the preparation of a comprehensive report, which prioritises critical issues and corresponding recommendations.

The first critical step in vulnerability management is visibility
Once the required functionality and capability are defined, a solution consisting of one or more products will be proposed. A single vendor solution minimises the potential for gaps and vulnerability and ensures products align to an overall architecture. It also means threat intelligence can be shared across all elements of the solution.
But IT security is not ‘set and forget’ – new threats are constantly emerging and ageing hardware and software represent opportunities for hackers who have sophisticated tools to identify and take advantage of any weakness in your infrastructure.
IT and Security Managers are usually consumed by day-to-day problems and may not be applying patches in a timely manner or upgrading hardware, so vulnerability can be increasing daily.
Using a cloud solution from Qualys, Kytec can constantly monitor your entire environment and create a real time inventory of all your IT assets: end points, dynamic cloud environments, switches and firewalls; identify and priorities all vulnerability, expiring certificates and automatically apply patches and quarantine specific assets. The first critical step in vulnerability management is visibility. Real time alerts ensure that corrective action is taken quickly.
Understanding gaps and vulnerability is the critical first step in risk management.
