Vulnerability Management That Targets Real Risk
Exploiting an unpatched vulnerability is now the most common way attackers get in. Scanning is the easy part — knowing which of the thousands of findings will actually be used against you is the work. iFlock’s certified experts run the whole cycle, so your attack surface keeps shrinking.
Why vulnerability management can’t wait
Unpatched software is now the #1 way attackers get in
In its 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report, Verizon found vulnerability exploitation behind 31% of breaches — the first time in the report’s history that it outranked stolen credentials as the top initial access vector. Remote-access devices alone climbed from 1.5% to 5% of breaches.
The hard part isn’t finding flaws — it’s choosing
48,185 new CVEs were published in 2025, roughly 132 a day and about 21% more than the year before. No team patches all of that. Only 26% of vulnerabilities on CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog get fully remediated — down from 38% a year earlier — and the median time to fix one stretched from 32 days to 43. The flaws being used in real attacks are slipping through with the noise.
A scan report is not a program
We treat vulnerability management as an ongoing partnership, not a once-a-year scan you file away. You get a clear, always-current picture of where you’re exposed, ranked by what an attacker could realistically reach and what it would cost you — plus help actually closing it. Where a scanner can only guess, our penetration testing team proves whether a weakness is reachable, our compliance and risk practice ties the work to the frameworks you answer to, and our managed security program watches the gaps you choose to accept for now.

What’s included
A working vulnerability management program, end to end
Vulnerability scanning
Scheduled authenticated and unauthenticated scans across your networks, servers, applications, endpoints, and cloud — so missing patches and insecure configurations surface on a cadence, not by accident.
Attack surface management
We map everything you expose to the internet, including the forgotten subdomain, the test box, and the appliance nobody owns. You cannot defend what is not on the list.
Risk-based prioritization
A raw scan can list thousands of issues. We rank them using real exploitation evidence — the CISA KEV catalog, EPSS probability, and whether the asset is genuinely reachable — so your team fixes the handful that matter first.
Identity exposure monitoring
We watch for your employees’ credentials turning up in breach dumps and on criminal markets, and tell you before somebody logs in with them.
ASV scanning for PCI DSS
If you handle card data, PCI DSS 4.0.1 requires quarterly external scans by an Approved Scanning Vendor alongside internal scanning. We run that cycle with you and keep the evidence audit-ready. See PCI compliance.
How it works
The cycle we run with you
- 1
Discover
We build a complete inventory of your assets, internal and internet-facing, so nothing sits unwatched.
- 2
Scan and assess
Scheduled scanning across the environment, plus targeted checks against vulnerabilities that are being exploited right now.
- 3
Prioritize
Findings ranked by real-world exploitability and business impact, in plain language, with a defensible reason for the order.
- 4
Remediate
We hand your team a fix plan and work it with them — not a 400-page PDF and good luck.
- 5
Verify and repeat
We re-test to confirm the fix held, then start the cycle again. The measure of success is an attack surface that keeps shrinking.
Vulnerability management FAQs
How often should we scan for vulnerabilities?
Continuously for internet-facing assets and at least monthly internally, with an immediate out-of-cycle scan whenever something lands on CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Quarterly is a compliance floor, not a security program — the median organization already takes 43 days to fully remediate a known-exploited flaw, and attackers do not wait that long.
What is the difference between vulnerability management and penetration testing?
A vulnerability scan tells you which doors look unlocked. A penetration test proves whether someone can actually walk through one and what they reach on the other side. They answer different questions, and most organizations need both: scanning for breadth and coverage, testing for depth and proof.
We already run a scanner. Why bring in iFlock?
Most teams do not have a scanning problem, they have a triage and follow-through problem. The value is in deciding correctly and quickly which findings to act on, driving those fixes to done, and being able to show an auditor or a cyber insurer why you made the calls you made.
Does this satisfy our PCI DSS requirement?
PCI DSS 4.0.1 requires quarterly external scans performed by an Approved Scanning Vendor plus internal scanning, with rescans until you get a passing result. We run that cycle and keep the evidence organized for your assessor. More on PCI compliance.
