Vulnerability Assessment
Know what's exposed, before it's exploited.
Galactic scans your environment every month and flags the known weaknesses attackers look for first, so you can close them while they're still just findings.
Two different questions, two different tools
A vulnerability assessment asks what's exposed right now. A penetration test asks how far someone could get with it. You want both, on different cadences.
| Vulnerability assessment | Penetration test | |
|---|---|---|
| Cadence | Monthly, across your whole environment | Quarterly, going deep |
| What it finds | Known, unpatched, and outdated weaknesses | How weaknesses connect to a real way in |
| Coverage | Broad, so nothing new slips by unnoticed | Focused, so you see what an attacker could reach |
| What you get | Detail on where and what is most exposed to threat actors | Proof of where you truly stand |
How our vulnerability assessment works
An agent does the work, so there's nothing heavy to run and no environment to babysit.
Install once
The agent goes on, and the scan runs on a monthly cadence from there.
It checks the whole environment
Internal and external assets, anything facing the internet, and the network devices connected to it all.
You get a prioritized report
Every finding ranked by severity, so the most important fix is the first thing you see.
What the agent checks
Software
Outdated and unpatched versions attackers have a known way into.
Internet-facing assets
Anything exposed to the outside, and what it's leaving open.
Network devices
Everything connected, mapped and checked for known weaknesses.
Internal assets
The devices and services inside your perimeter, not just the edge.
See what this month's scan turns up.
Every scan shows what changed since the last, so you're always working from a current picture instead of last quarter's. Book a demo and we'll run you through it on your own environment.
