What is meant by a 3rd party vuln assessment ??
Is it something like a snapshot that encompassses an organization external network, providing them with an executive report, top threats to the network, a threat matrix listing, and an outbriefing of the state of security of the organization's network or is a 3rd party vuln assessment something more in-depth, and useful ?
Some companies offer a security snapshot service, but all it produces is data points with no useful indexing of the threats inline with the organization, since most organization have their own threat/vulnerability/risk index.
