External Network Vulnerability Assessment
In a world where financially-motivated hackers are working around the clock to slip unnoticed through your Internet gateway, and malicious network traffic can arrive at any moment attacking thousands of networks across the Internet in seconds, today’s businesses generally need to adhere to a regular schedule of External Network Vulnerability Assessments to ensure an on-going baseline of network protection.
When you choose Networks Unlimited to perform an External Network Vulnerability Assessment, you are assigned a small team of highly experienced Security Auditors. The lead project Auditor analyzes every IP address, computer, server, and network device on your Internet subnets; and tests from the Internet to identify any holes an outside hacker or worm could exploit. Host computer operating systems, web server platforms, mail servers, routers, and firewalls on Internet subnets are carefully checked for vulnerabilities.
The Security Auditors will detail application and technical security issues and include recommendations to resolve issues. An important task completed during this phase is the identification and documentation of false positive results. The deliverable is reviewed and checked by multiple members of the project team. Every project team has at least one Security Auditor with a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certification and one Security Auditor with a Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) certification.
You’ll receive a comprehensive report in hardcopy and electronic form, that outlines all vulnerabilities, prioritizes them by risk level, and explains how to remediate each problem. The Vulnerability Assessment findings are presented and reviewed with you and your designated personnel to ensure they are well understood.
Using Networks Unlimited Vulnerability Assessment Services, your IT staff can concentrate on maintaining a secure network without investing in expensive security tools and training, or devoting hours to scanning, testing, checking for false positive results, reporting, or maintaining expensive information security experts on staff.
