Most SMBs don’t have vulnerability management tools or processes in-place. The reasons behind this often come down to a lack of knowledge and resources to manage them, or the cost of one or more appropriate tools.
Renaissance aims to make security vulnerability scanning tools achievable at an affordable price point, so that small and medium businesses can protect themselves just like the big enterprises do.
Vulnerability scanning helps identify weaknesses in your systems before attackers can exploit them, reducing the risk of data breaches, ransomware, and other cyber threats.
Fixing vulnerabilities early is far less expensive than dealing with the aftermath of a cyberattack, such as downtime, lost revenue, or reputational damage.
Many regulations and industry standards (like GDPR, ISO 27001, or Cyber Essentials) require regular vulnerability assessments. Scanning helps demonstrate compliance and avoid penalties.
Scanning provides a clear picture of your network, devices, and software, helping you understand what needs attention and where to prioritize security efforts.
Our Vulnerability management tools can automate scans, track issues, and provide reports — saving time and reducing the burden on small (or non-existent) IT teams.
Showing that you take cybersecurity seriously can enhance your reputation and build trust with customers, partners, and stakeholders.
Renaissance offers two types of Vulnerability Scanning, made up of three components. External Vulnerability Scanning is a great place for small businesses to start taking a look at your network security from the outside, in. Most modern cyber attacks originate from the internet, so making sure your devices which directly interface with the wider world are secure should be a top priority. Internal Vulnerability Scanning is all about protecting your systems from the inside. Even if a network is 100% secure from the internet, it's still far too easy for attacks to use social engineering, phishing, or similar techniques to establish a foothold inside your network. For a cyber criminal, this can be as simple as sending your users an email with a malicious payload (attachment), or even calling on the phone and pretending to be from Microsoft or similar big tech company, saying they've noticed a security issue and need to fix it for you remotely. Our Internal Vulnerability Scanning service consists of two main components, which are designed to work in tandem to scan the IT equipment inside your organisation’s network(s). This service can provide invaluable insight into the state of the security of your systems, allowing us to offer you timely advice on where the biggest security threats are before they're exploited.
Renaissance operate a cloud-based scanner which performs scans against customers’ Public IP Address(es) on a monthly-basis. Any device which can be contacted directly, over the internet, can be scanned. Our system looks for a vast library of known vulnerabilities and creates alerts and support tickets when any are detected, along with an industry-standard Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score.
A lightweight application (Discovery Agent) is installed on each of your protected computers and servers. Discovery Agents will run daily quick scans of the local computer and report and identified weaknesses back to the management portal for appropriate action. These scans will find missing security patches, outdated/unsupported software, insecure encryption standards, and much more.
A Virtual Appliance is installed on an existing server or PC in your office, provided it meets the system requirements, or we can supply a dedicated device to run the scanner. Weekly scans of your internal network(s) add crucial detail about vulnerabilities on non-computer devices, such as VoIP phones, Wi-Fi Access Points, Switches, Routers, CCTV Systems, and more. Such devices are often overlooked in day-to-day IT management and, in some cases, represent the greatest security risks.
