Security assessments help you identify the risks in organizations’ infrastructure that can potentially avoid cyberattacks and these security assessments are periodic exercises that test your organization’s security preparedness and defines the security posture of the organization. The assessment includes checks for vulnerabilities in your IT systems and business processes, as well as recommending steps to lower the risk of future attacks. Security assessments are also useful for keeping your systems and policies up to date.
