Expert Comment: Hackuity: NCSC to scan all internet-exposed devices hostedin UK
November 2022 by Sylvain Cortes, VP Strategy at Hackuity
Following the news that the UK NCSC announced that it’s scanning all
Internet-exposed devices hosted in the UK, the commentary
from Sylvain Cortes of Hackuity, who praises the forward-thinking
initiative for providing UK organisations with a first level of
information…
_"The NCSC initiative is part of a comprehensive approach to securing
external assets that are often overlooked in remediation plans dedicated
to addressing vulnerabilities. Already in January, the NCSC made
available on Github a bunch of NMAP scripts to help organisations
identify their internal vulnerabilities on their own network. With these
two tools combined, UK-based organisations have access to a first level
of information, which they will then have to process in a prioritisation
process in order to be efficient and focus their efforts on the
important elements."_
