Knowledge is Power
As organisations struggle to keep up with a constantly evolving threat landscape, most resort to a reactive approach, constantly chasing threats and responding to potential incidents. Reducing risk in the most efficient and effective manner requires a new approach to proactively understand your attack surface, better prioritise your efforts, and measure and communicate this progress over time.
​
Your attack surface is growing, always changing and more interconnected than ever. This presents a monumental challenge for security teams and business owners alike. While attackers probe for the weakest link in your sprawling attack surface - and move laterally in search of valuable assets - IT teams are constrained by legacy tools and must rely on just-in-time detection and response to react to attackers’ moves. It can feel impossible to answer the question, “How secure are we?”
Why Risk-Based Vulnerability Management?
Risk-based vulnerability management (RBVM) is a proactive approach to identifying potential weaknesses in an organisation's IT infrastructure. By prioritising vulnerabilities based on the risk they pose to the organisation rather than simply addressing them in the order they are discovered, RBVM provides several benefits over legacy solutions:
-
Improved security posture: By prioritising the most critical issues first, RBVM reduces the likelihood of a successful cyber attack and protects sensitive data.
-
Regulatory compliance: RBVM helps businesses demonstrate their commitment to data protection and privacy regulations, helping them avoid potential fines and legal consequences.
-
Efficient resource allocation: RBVM allows organisations to use their resources more strategically by focusing on high-risk vulnerabilities first, leading to more efficient use of time, budget, and personnel.
-
Informed decision-making: Understanding the risks associated with each vulnerability enables businesses to make more informed decisions on which security measures to invest in, helping them build a more robust security infrastructure over time.
-
Enhanced reputation: Implementing RBVM demonstrates a commitment to cybersecurity, improving a company's reputation with customers, partners, and stakeholders, leading to better customer retention, increased sales, and competitive advantage.
-
Reduced costs: Proactively addressing vulnerabilities with RBVM helps businesses avoid the costly fallout from a cyber attack, including lost revenue, legal fees, and damage to brand reputation.
Overall, RBVM provides a more strategic and efficient way to manage vulnerabilities, leading to improved security and reduced costs for businesses.

The VMAAS Way
In 4 steps, we'll shine a spotlight on your real risk and guide you towards remediation
Visibility
We use a variety of invisible Sensors, including active scanners, agents, passive network monitoring, cloud connectors, and platform integrations. This allows us to achieve maximum scan coverage across your infrastructure, reducing vulnerability blind spots and providing comprehensive visibility into all areas of your business.
Risk Identification
We identify vulnerabilities, such as software flaws, missing patches, malware, and misconfigurations. The vulnerability assessment programs used analyses metadata and configuration items throughout the IT setup to identify inconsistencies in the information
Prioritisation
We meet monthly and provide actionable reports to identify and prioritise the remediation of vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in your modern IT environment.
Progress reports are also provided to communicate to all stakeholders
ABOUT
We do one thing and we do it well
VMAAS (Vulnerability Management as a Service) Australia was formed late in 2022 by two I.T. veterans, Adam Burgess and Simon Greenwood. Adam with immense experience designing, integrating, deploying and protecting large enterprise networks. Simon comes from the Managed Technology space and has worked to design, build, scale and secure businesses of all sizes across all sectors in the APAC region for decades.
​
Collectively, they benefit from over 50 years of real-world experience and have worked around each other for close to 20 years.
​
The threat landscape and risk discussions with customers became so prevalent that they could no longer be ignored. Not enough was being done to simplify what is a minefield of complexity and cost to the average business.
​
VMAAS was forged.
