NETWORK SECURITY TESTING
| INFORMATION VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENTS
WE WILL TEST THE SECURITY OF YOUR NETWORK
AND FIND ANY VULNERABILITIES
NETWORK SECURITY IS AS MUCH A BUSINESS AND LEGAL CONCERN AS IT IS A TECHNICAL CONCERN
A large portion of virtually every business enterprise today relies heavily on different types of infrastructures whose backbone is based on networking. Maintaining the security of those networks is as important as the security of your company data and communications systems. Many corporate systems - such as systems dealing with digital communications, e-commerce, transactions, trading, marketing, data storage, billing, etc. - rely on networks, whether in the form of email, telephones (i.e. VOIP), smart-devices, servers, routers, endpoint devices, and more.
Many critical corporate cyber-security systems are also directly integrated with network systems, such as VPNs, firewalls, network encryption systems, and web applications. Network security statistics show that in 2015, 66 percent of significant, sensitive data was stored on-site. Your company's network may have points or segments that directly expose your sensitive servers to the world via connections to the public internet. If your company has a website, then the web server and web application server - that are many times linked to backend systems - could allow a cyber-criminal to obtain unauthorized access to your servers if proper security controls are not in place, which can result in a data breach. If your company has host systems that can access the public internet, then Next Generation Firewalls, Network Intrusion Detection systems (IDS), etc. are necessary controls.
IT IS PIVOTAL TO HAVE A THOROUGH NETWORK SECURITY POLICY IN PLACE, ALONG WITH ROUTINE AUDITS,
TO ENSURE THAT YOUR NETWORK SYSTEMS ARE SECURE
THE NETWORK WHICH PROVIDES VITAL INFORMATION FLOW THROUGH YOUR ORGANIZATION ALSO MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR ATTACKERS TO ACCESS SENSITIVE DATA
Scan and audit for unpatched systems and misconfigured servers: Unpatched systems allow vulnerabilities present in a system to be exploited by cyber-criminals, thus it is of the utmost importance to consistently test your network systems in order to find any potential security holes so that they can be corrected. A myriad of publicly-available security exploits and payloads, matching certain systems and vulnerabilities, is widely available in many hacker communities. In addition to this, misconfigured systems often result in security holes that present an increased attack surface in an IT infrastructure.
WE CHECK FOR UNPATCHED SYSTEMS
AND MISCONFIGURED SERVERS
WE SCAN AND AUDIT YOUR NETWORK LOOKING FOR WAYS THAT A DATA BREACH COULD OCCUR
Unpatched systems allow vulnerabilities present in a system to be exploited by cyber-criminals, thus it is of the utmost importance to consistently test your network systems in order to find any potential security holes so that they can be corrected. A myriad of publicly-available security exploits and payloads, matching certain systems and vulnerabilities, is widely available in many hacker communities. In addition to this, misconfigured systems often result in security holes that present an increased attack surface in an IT infrastructure.
It is thus important to identify the necessary services that each network device in your company needs to run, along with the appropriate ports, while also conducting routine audits and using the principle of hardening network systems to disable unnecessary ports and services to reduce your company's attack surface.
A system with unnecessary open ports that is also running services and functions that are unneeded (all of which can easily be ascertained by a hacker in the vulnerability and port scanning stages) can present an easy target to an attacker. This can allow sensitive data to escape into public systems in an otherwise secure system.
