Internal and External Vulnerability Assessments

What is an Internal Vulnerability Assessment?

An internal vulnerability assessment is a systematic evaluation of an organization’s internal network and systems to identify potential security weaknesses that may be exploited by internal users or unauthorized individuals who gain internal access. This assessment focuses on assessing the security posture within the organization’s perimeters, scrutinizing factors such as network configurations, user access controls, and system vulnerabilities.

What is an External Vulnerability Assessment?

In contrast, an external vulnerability assessment examines an organization’s external-facing assets, such as web applications, network infrastructure, and servers. This assessment simulates the perspective of an external threat actor, seeking to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited from outside the organization. External vulnerability assessments play a crucial role in fortifying defenses against cyber threats originating from the internet, enhancing the overall resilience of an organization’s digital infrastructure.
