Choosing the right cybersecurity test can be challenging. Every digital environment requires specific security tests to identify vulnerabilities and strengthen your defense. At Tible, we understand this complexity and offer targeted security tests tailored to the unique needs of your organization. Our security expert Sebastiaan clearly explains the difference between a vulnerability scan, vulnerability assessment, and a penetration test in this guide. More importantly, he helps you determine which test best suits your situation.

Vulnerability Scan

A vulnerability scan is often the first step in testing your cybersecurity. This automated scan quickly and efficiently checks your network or applications for known security flaws. The result is a clear list of detected vulnerabilities presented directly to you. “This scan is ideal for organizations that want quick and cost-effective insight into their current security level,” says Sebastiaan.

Vulnerability Assessment

A vulnerability assessment goes a step further than just scanning by having our cybersecurity experts review the results. They carefully check the scan findings for so-called false positives: errors that do not pose a real threat. As a result, you get not only accurate but also practical information about the severity and potential impact of each vulnerability. Who is this test suitable for? Sebastiaan says: “This is an excellent choice if you want a reliable overview without the in-depth activities of a full penetration test.”

Penetration Test

“When there is a need for deeper analysis and active exploitation of vulnerabilities, a penetration test provides the solution. Tible simulates a real cyberattack to gain insight into how an attacker would exploit discovered weaknesses.”

• Blackbox Penetration Test: In a Blackbox Penetration Test, our security experts have no prior knowledge of your systems or applications. This test simulates an external attack, where vulnerabilities are identified and exploited solely from an outsider's perspective. This type of test is essential to understand how attackers could potentially gain unauthorized access to your systems.
• Graybox Penetration Test: A Graybox Penetration Test combines aspects of blackbox and whitebox testing. Our experts receive limited information about your system, such as architecture diagrams or parts of the code. This allows them to test more precisely and gain insight into how limited information can be misused to gain access.
• Whitebox Penetration Test: In a Whitebox Penetration Test, our security experts have full access to information, including source code, architecture details, and infrastructure documentation. This enables us to test thoroughly and deeply, even for vulnerabilities that are not easily visible from the outside.

Which Cybersecurity Test Fits Your Organization?

Not every test fits every organization, and not every system can handle every test. Effective cybersecurity therefore means carefully aligning the test with your specific situation and capacity. At Tible, we help you determine which test method best matches your needs.

Whether you choose a quick vulnerability scan or a thorough whitebox penetration test: our team is ready to secure your digital environment. Don't wait for a cyber incident to expose your vulnerabilities. Contact Tible today and discover how we can strengthen your security.
