Internal Vulnerability Assessment

Doing an internal vulnerability assessment can come with great risk instead finding risk. Information security is a wide and complex field that no one person can master every area. Making an error in the field can also be very costly, so the person doing the job must be verse in that area. Because of this it is best to let the professional who specialize in a specific area do the job. This is why it is best if we outsource our vulnerability assessment project. Even though we know how to do an assessment, we will not know as much as a professional who do just that everyday. So, since this project is so critical it is best that we outsource it to an experience professional with a good reputation. A vulnerability assessment should
be comprehensive and as a result assess both inside and entry to the network. Though an internal vulnerability is important it does not test the network access security devices. So, the firewall and IPS would not be tested and we will still be a risk if only an internal assessment is done. For this reason we need to do bought internal and external vulnerability assessment in order to test at even level.
So an Internal vulnerability assessment is itself a vulnerability.
