What is cyber security risk assessment and testing?

A cyber security risk assessment analyses your current security status and identifies high risk critical assets across your environment. This assessment provides you with a comprehensive update on your security position, areas of exposure and advice on prioritised steps for remediation. Cyber security testing aims to provide you with an understanding of what’s standing between you and a cyber-attack by testing your current line of defence. Following this, you will receive a penetration test report which provides details about each vulnerability, how easy it is to exploit, and the method of exploitation.
