Penetration Testing, Threat & Vulnerability Management

Threat and vulnerability management is a security practice designed to proactively prevent the exploitation of IT vulnerabilities that exist within an organization. The expected outcome is to reduce the cost (time and money) spent dealing with vulnerabilities and exploitation of those vulnerabilities.

Proactively managing vulnerabilities of systems will reduce or eliminate the potential for exploitation and involve considerably less time and effort than responding after an exploitation has occurred.

With our help, analysis of the threats to your organizations IT infrastructure would include an analysis of the vulnerabilities associated with the system environment, with the aim of developing a list of vulnerabilities in system, which could be in Security procedures, system design, implementation, or internal controls that could be exploited and result in a security breach or a violation of the system's security policy.

  Our Threat management solutions deal with the threats to systems such as virus, Trojans, worms, malicious hackers, force majeure, and intentional and unintentional system misuse by insiders or outsiders.

Penetration Testing (a.k.a. Ethical hacking ) is an active evaluation of your organization's information security measures in place. Penetration testing involves controlled attempts at penetrating a Information system or network from “outside” in order to detect vulnerabilities. It employs the same or similar techniques to those used in a genuine attack. Appropriate measures can then be taken to eliminate the vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by unauthorized third parties.

Our Penetration testing approach can reveal to what extent the security of IT systems is threatened by attacks by hackers, crackers, etc., and whether the security measures in place are currently capable of ensuring IT security.

In today's complex networked environments, the potential exposure to risk is increasing and securing systems is an ongoing challenge. A penetration test can significantly help safeguard against many network security threats, including financial compromise, damage to reputation, business risk exposure, and unwanted legal issues and could discover loop holes in your IT systems and any denial of service (Dos) issues that the bad guys could exploit.
