Nuclear Consulting Services offers several types of vulnerability reviews to provide a comprehensive view of an organization’s security posture:
Network-based scanning: Identifies vulnerabilities in a network’s infrastructure, such as routers, firewalls, and switches. This includes checking for open ports and network device misconfigurations.
Host-based scanning: Focuses on individual systems like servers, desktops, and laptops to find security flaws in operating systems and installed software.
Web application scanning: Tests web applications for common security weaknesses like SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS).
Database scanning: Examines databases for misconfigurations, weak passwords, and insecure access controls.
Cloud vulnerability scanning: Assesses cloud infrastructure, storage, and virtual machines for cloud-specific security vulnerabilities.
