The Challenge
Information Security best practice standards such as PCI DSS require organisations to perform regular technical security assessments of their internet facing IT systems.
Carrying out these assessments helps to identify gaps in your network security that could be exploited by malicious attackers. Vulnerabilities can occur due to upgrades, changes to your systems or simply by new system bugs being discovered. Once these vulnerabilities exist on your information systems, they can be exploited to compromise the data they store or transmit.
Because security vulnerabilities can enable hackers to access IT systems and applications, it is essential for organisations of all sizes to identify and remediate weaknesses before they can be exploited. A comprehensive vulnerability assessment along with practical remedial actions, can help you improve the security of your systems and minimise the chance of future cyber attacks.
The Service
Finding and addressing technical vulnerabilities on your network or withing applications is an essential part of protecting your organisation against malicious attacks.
BH Consulting can conduct a series of automated vulnerability scans, using a variety of commercial vulnerability scanners, against your internet facing IT systems and environment. This identifies flaws and vulnerabilities that could potentially be exploited. Our experienced security consultants then interpret the results, remove false positives and confirm the severity of any vulnerability found.
This testing includes, but is not limited to testing for weaknesses such as;
• Network vulnerabilities
• Software vulnerabilities at the infrastructure and server level
• Business logic vulnerabilities
Taking a risk-based approach, we rank the vulnerabilities in to high, medium and low and provide a report of the findings, including practical remedial recommendations for each.
External vulnerability scans are performed over the internet and can be carried out remotely.
