Vulnerability scans and penetration tests are not enough.

Here are 2 reasons why:

1️⃣ They are intrusive.

You have to get permission from a company to do a vulnerability scan on them.

If, e.g., a third-party supplier who provides services to your company doesn't give you consent, you cannot do it.

2️⃣ They are momentary.

A vulnerability scan is a point in time.

You get a beautiful report with a lot of detail. But just a few days later, the report could be out of date and stale because the company got hacked.

What you need is a technology that allows continuous monitoring for your company as well as your:

• investment targets
• M&A targets
• suppliers
• partners
• etc.

Here's an analogy:

A vulnerability scan is like going to a doctor where you get a rigorous assessment: Detailed but momentarily.

An outside and security rating scan is almost like getting a quick X-ray or measuring the temperature.

It is less detailed, but it will allow you to constantly monitor the situation on a bigger scale and catch many issues.

Vulnerability scans are very useful and important, but not enough because they won't reveal true attack vectors and possible exploitation.
