Security gaps in the network, endpoints and the cloud are lurking every day. In corporate networks, new attack surfaces can emerge month after month due to newly installed programs, configured plug-ins and services, and you can quickly lose track when it comes to security. With our IT security scan service, or vulnerability scan, you are on the safe side. With our know-how, combined with professional tools, we proactively uncover vulnerabilities, software defects, missing updates, malware and misconfigurations\u2014and remediation follows immediately. <\/p>

The external scan can be started directly after your go-ahead. For the internal scan, an internal user is created in consultation with your IT department, from which all clients are systematically scanned, whether local or decentralized. This enables m.a.x. it to test externally or internally, fix issues, provide recommendations and, depending on requirements, create detailed reports. Benefit here too from our many years of experience, because we know exactly which levers to pull, how systems need to be configured, and how to detect and defend against attacks. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat does the approach look like in practice?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

There are various approaches:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. m.a.x. it scans externally<\/strong>
    Regular testing of all websites and all public IP addresses for vulnerabilities from the outside. Where are the attack surfaces? You receive a detailed report that raises the alarm in the event of security gaps and directly suggests recommendations. The cleaned-up report meets certification requirements from various bodies. <\/li>\n
  2. m.a.x. it tests internally<\/strong>
    This means m.a.x. it logs into the corporate network as an internal user, like an employee, and tests all workstations and IT equipment in the company for vulnerabilities from the inside out.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
