Managed Security Monitoring is a subscription-based service that helps you identify weaknesses in your IT systems before attackers do.
Why Managed Security Monitoring Matters
- Protects your reputation and revenue: Regular vulnerability scanning helps prevent security breaches that can damage customer trust and result in regulatory penalties (including NIS2).
- Supports strategic risk management: Ongoing visibility into security gaps enables informed decision-making and smarter allocation of security resources.
- Strengthens business continuity: Proactive scanning supports compliance and operational resilience, helping protect your business in an increasingly hostile cyber environment.

Internal vs External Vulnerability Scanning
Internal Vulnerability Scanning - Checks systems, applications, and devices within your internal network.
- Purpose: Identify weaknesses that could be exploited by insiders or attackers who have already breached the perimeter
- Business value: Reduces lateral-movement risk, supports compliance, and protects critical assets
External Vulnerability Scanning - Checks internet-facing systems such as websites, firewalls, and cloud services.
- Purpose: Detect vulnerabilities exploitable from outside the organization
- Business value: Protects brand reputation and customer trust by preventing perimeter-based breaches
A Layered Defence Approach
Both internal and external scans are essential parts of a layered security strategy:
- External scans protect your public-facing assets
- Internal scans protect the core of your business
- Together they minimize financial, regulatory, and reputational risk
