Vulnerability Management

Find Risks Before Attackers Do

Every organization has weaknesses. The difference between a secure business and a breached one is how quickly those weaknesses are found and fixed.

Preferred delivers Vulnerability Management services that identify, prioritize, and remediate risks across your systems, devices, and networks.

We give you complete visibility into your security posture and ensure that vulnerabilities are closed before attackers can exploit them.

Why Vulnerability
Management Matters

Cybersecurity isn’t just about defense. It’s about readiness.

Hackers target known vulnerabilities faster than most organizations can patch them. Unpatched systems, outdated applications, and misconfigured cloud settings remain among the top causes of data breaches.

Preferred’s Vulnerability Management services delivers the intelligence and tools to stay ahead of threats. We identify weaknesses, prioritize what matters, and verify that every fix is complete.

How Preferred Helps

Our approach combines automated vulnerability scanning with human analysis and clear, prioritized guidance. We turn data into action to address risk before they become threats.

How Preferred Helps

1. Continuous Vulnerability Scanning

We scan your environment on a regular schedule to detect vulnerabilities across servers, endpoints, cloud apps, and network devices.

Scanning Includes:

Internal and external system scanning

Automated discovery of new devices and assets

Identification of outdated software and misconfigurations

Integration with your network security and MDR tools

Real-time alerts for critical findings

2. Risk Scoring and Prioritization

Not all vulnerabilities are created equal.

We assign each discovered issue a severity score based on potential impact, exploitability, and business context.

Our Prioritization Process:

Aligns with CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) standards

Highlights the most urgent issues to address first

Categorizes vulnerabilities by asset type and criticality

Provides executive summaries for leadership visibility

This ensures your limited resources are focused where they matter most.

3. Patch Management and Remediation Support

Finding vulnerabilities is only half the job. Preferred helps you close them fast. Our team deploys patches without dirupting your daily operations.

Remediation Services Include:

Patch management across Windows, macOS, and Linux

Configuration and policy updates

Verification testing to confirm successful remediation

Coordination with third-party vendors for system updates

We make the process simple and efficient, keeping your systems protected and compliant.

4. Continuous Verification and Reporting

Our SmartSecure™ platform tracks every vulnerability from detection to resolution, ensuring accountability and transparency.

You’ll Receive:

Monthly or quarterly vulnerability and remediation reports

Trend analysis showing improvements over time

Security analytics and data to support insurance audits

technical data into business insight
