Network vulnerability tests begin with the network
Your business's network consists of hardware and software, each with strengths and weaknesses. The first step in our network vulnerability assessment is to identify each component within the network and determine its risk for data intrusion.
Even a properly maintained network may be vulnerable. Phishing attacks, for example, attempt to obtain legitimate network credentials from network users. These credentials can give hackers free reign within a business's network while raising few red flags. Thus, another weakness that might be identified during our network vulnerability assessment would be the level of access to key data, such as bank accounts and personally identifying information, on the network.
Network Vulnerability Scanning based on identified network vulnerabilities
A scan is developed to test vulnerabilities. Essentially, we will hack your network on purpose - but for good reason.
For example, your web server could be vulnerable to denial of service attacks that could shut down your company's website. The scan would test how severe the problem is and how easily an attack might occur so that the proper solutions can be enacted.
Using a network vulnerability test
Our network vulnerability scan is used to develop a comprehensive security plan for your system. This plan monitors for threats and periodically reassesses your network's vulnerabilities to maintain the strength of your network as hardware is added and software is updated or replaced.
