External Vulnerability Management.

What does your business look like to an attacker?

Attackers see your internet-facing assets before you do. KAVIX scans your external attack surface continuously, finding the vulnerabilities in your websites, VPNs, portals, and APIs before they can be weaponised against you.

Your Perimeter Is Larger Than You Think

Legacy portals, forgotten subdomains, cloud storage misconfiguration, your external attack surface grows every time someone spins up a new service. Most businesses don't have a complete picture of what they're exposing.

of breaches target internet-facing systems

The external perimeter is the first thing attackers probe, and the most commonly overlooked by defenders.

Internet exposure is immediate. Scanning for your own weaknesses needs to happen faster than attackers do.

#1
attack vector: unpatched internet-facing systems

Known CVEs on public-facing systems are trivially exploitable. Continuous scanning closes the window.

Your External Attack Surface, Mapped and Monitored

We start by discovering everything you expose to the internet, including assets your team may not know about. Then we continuously test each for known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and weaknesses that attackers would exploit.

Unlike a one-off penetration test, this is a continuous programme, monthly scans with remediation tracking and verified retesting after fixes are applied.

  • Discovery of all internet-facing assets (including forgotten ones)
  • Web application vulnerability scanning
  • VPN and remote access security assessment
  • API endpoint enumeration and vulnerability testing
  • SSL/TLS certificate monitoring and expiry alerts
  • Open port and service discovery
  • CVE matching against all discovered services
  • Monthly scan with prioritised remediation report
  • Verified retesting after fixes are applied

How we reduce what is exposed.

Discover

Find every internet-facing asset, including ones your team didn't know about. Forgotten subdomains, legacy portals, shadow IT cloud services, and exposed APIs all appear in the first scan.

Assess

Each discovered asset is tested for known vulnerabilities, weak configurations, outdated software, and misexposed services, with CISA KEV cross-reference for active exploitation risk.

Harden

Prioritised fix list delivered with clear remediation guidance. After fixes are applied, we rescan to verify the vulnerability is genuinely closed, not just marked resolved.

Common Findings on First External Scan

Most businesses are surprised by what their first external scan reveals. These are the issues we find most frequently in the environments we take on.

Forgotten Subdomains

Old staging environments, legacy portals, and test sites running outdated software, still exposed on the internet, completely unpatched.

Weak SSL/TLS Configuration

Expired certificates, deprecated TLS versions, and weak cipher suites that expose data in transit and trigger browser security warnings.

Exposed Admin Panels

WordPress, cPanel, and other admin interfaces accessible without IP restriction, trivially brute-forced by automated bots.

Outdated CMS Installs

Unpatched WordPress, Joomla, and other content management systems with publicly disclosed critical vulnerabilities.

Misconfigured Cloud Storage

Publicly accessible S3 buckets, Azure Blob storage, or SharePoint files, sometimes containing sensitive business data.

Exposed API Keys

API keys and credentials embedded in JavaScript files, accessible to anyone who views the page source, often with access to sensitive services.
