Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing

Challenge

Strategic business initiatives to increase operational efficiencies, find new revenue sources, and improve customer service are all driving organizations to open up their networks and business processes to even more external users. For many organizations, this means an increased exposure to security threats and vulnerabilities.

Malicious attacks on your network can create severe consequences, such as disruption of service, business interruption, and lost revenue. Non-compliance to regulation can cost steep fines and bad publicity, which can further damage your reputation. Without the resources to stay on top of emerging threats and changes in regulatory requirements, companies can't effectively anticipate and counter new threats that may compromise information assets and compliance goals.

Solution

Secure Application's Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing service is a critical step in mitigating risk. Using a proven methodology, automated testing tools, and manual audits, Secure Application's experienced security consultants assess your networked environment and identify vulnerabilities and errant configurations, validate existing controls, prioritize high-risk vulnerabilities, and provide detailed remediation techniques that help reduce the risk of your networked systems being compromised.

The result of this effort is a snapshot of your current network infrastructure's security posture. This snapshot provides a baseline from which to validate information security program maturity and compliance (or non-compliance) to corporate and regulatory security requirements, as well as a roadmap for future security initiatives.
