Overview

Security Infrastructure Assessment services are designed to identify (a) gaps in your technical security strategy; miss configurations of key security components which could be vulnerable to security breaches and (c) improvement opportunities in relation to the processes, procedures, skills and experience of personnel that is currently in place. 

As part of this type of work, we may test any or all of the following points of possible vulnerability:

•  Firewalls

•  Authentication Mechanisms

•  Demilitarized Zone

•  Virtual Private Networks

•  Intrusion Detection Systems

•  Antivirus

•  URL Filtering

•  Content Filtering

•  Dial In and Dial Out Modems

Key Benefits

•  Avoid “false assurance” and reduce the risk of becoming an easy target

•  Provide controlled remote access to internal systems to mobile/remote business users and 3rd party support personnel

•  View email from anywhere via normal Internet

•  Protect the internal environment and reduce the impact of unauthorised access / attacks and other malicious activity

•  Identify and therefore manage remaining access risks (avoid, contain, mitigate, transfer)

•  Ensure firewall and other security/network components reflect business needs and management’s assumptions

•  Protect availability of key systems and information and strengthen the resilience of the network

•  Reduce risks to data integrity and confidentiality in this way protecting decision making

•  Control computer activity (legitimate and unauthorised users)

•  Minimise unwanted emails (spam) and viruses and control email content

•  Manage infrastructure more effectively and pinpoint problems swiftly
