Network Vulnerability Assessment & Scanning Services

A network vulnerability assessment is a detailed study of the security status of an organization's network. InfoSight's third party opinions may include the following internal and external options.

Network vulnerability and security is a confusing and extensive forest of questions and solutions. It’s virtually impossible to know everything about security, though it’s very rewarding to know that your information is safe and sound. If you’re curious as to how to go about ensuring your network has top quality security, ask yourself these questions and consider the solutions further explained in this article.

IT assessments and network penetration testing should be regular tasks to mitigate your network vulnerability. Consider testing whenever you’ve added new elements to your hardware or software. This is a great way to minimize the risk that your new appliances or software will be the open door to a cyber-criminal. It also gives you a chance to evaluate the efficiency of your network and create more effective ways of introducing new elements to your network.

Between anti-X software and Intrusion detection and prevention a lot can slip through the cracks. Having an event correlation appliance is a huge improvement in your network vulnerability. It’s like having 10 security professionals constantly monitoring your network for strange behavior or suspicious activity and relaying the information back to a single source. It’s almost impossible for a human to do, but it is a necessary and very rewarding step to ensure that your network is locked tight.

Here are some questions to ask to determine how vulnerable your network may be:

• How long ago was my last vulnerability test?
• How many changes and or upgrades has my network had since my last vulnerability test?
• Do the counter measures I have in place to prevent an intrusion actually work?
• What security layers should I implement next to best protect my company's assets?
• Do I know where confidential and sensitive data is located on my network enterprise wide?
• How do I know if my IT Security reports are accurate?
