Be Proactive about your risks

Network Penetration TestingPenetration Testing is a method of testing different areas of a business (network, infrastructure, personnel) to identify ways they could potentially be breached, with a view to preventing malicious attacks. The technology has been developing for decades, but is increasing in necessity in recent years due to the dependence of companies on IT for business critical operations.

The responsibility on businesses (in particular those in financial, legal and medical practices), to protect their clients’ personal information is increasing. Penetration testing can assist with achieving compliance with industry data protection standards.

Network Infrastructure Hardening

It is important to strengthen the security of the devices and applications in your infrastructure to ensure that there is no weak link in the chain. Areas that could be a point of failure:

  • Firewalls, switches, routers etc.
  • Servers, desktops, thin clients etc.
  • Web applications, internet facing services (remote desktop, email, etc.)
  • Users! (Training)

Infrastructure Hardening can be done following a Penetration Test or can also be done proactively to reduce the surface an attacker can exploit.
