Similarly, antivirus software capable of heuristic analysis may discover undocumented malware if it finds software behaving suspiciously (such as attempting to overwrite a system file). Correcting vulnerabilities may variously involve the installation of a patch, a change in network security policy, reconfiguration of software (such as a firewall), or educating users about social engineering. Remediation is often considered the most difficult phase of any vulnerability management project – DTS has the experience and know-how on helping customers develop remediation plans that are practical and achievable whilst ensuring risks are controlled and mitigated.

One of the many ways to discover vulnerabilities is to employ a vulnerability scanner. This is a security scanner software that analyzes the target asset through multiple means to discover vulnerabilities it is susceptible to. The vulnerability scanner identifies loopholes based on a predefined set of known vulnerabilities through a cycle of reconnaissance, scanning and discovery, vulnerability assessment, prioritization, remediation and patching and finally audit and re-assessment. A vulnerability scanner cannot necessarily identify an undocumented vulnerability, such as a zero-day attack this is the function of the penetration test. In penetration testing and fuzzing with relevant test cases, can in many cases identify certain kinds of vulnerabilities, such as a buffer overflow exploit, system kernel crash, denial of service or memory leak.
