Internet Security Assessment
Any device with access to the Internet is a potential open door to would-be
hackers. We provide vulnerability assessments during which we closely map the
network architecture, examine all open ports, hosts and services with access to
the Web, and ensures that these network devices are secure. Defensive thinking
gathers information such as domain names, IP network ranges, operating system
and applications, to identify systems on the network, how they are related, the
services that are exposed through open ports (such as http, SMTP, terminal
services, etc.). Once open ports and attached services are identified, we
determine whether each service has been updated with the most recent patches and
identifies other vulnerabilities located within the exposed services.
In addition to conducting vulnerability assessments, we perform more rigorous
penetration tests in which the information gathered from the assessment is used
to attempt to penetrate the network. This more thorough procedure can confirm
whether potential vulnerabilities are, in fact, capable of being exploited to
expose the network.
Following all vulnerability assessments and penetration tests, we use the
information we gather to prepare a thorough vulnerability analysis and offers
recommendations for strengthening network security.
Intranet Security Assessment
While outside threats must be guarded against, business must also protect
against potential threats from within their own networks. Using many of the same
techniques and procedures for Internet Security Testing, we provide Intranet
risk assessment and analysis to protect against the potential threat posed by
insiders.
Depending on the client’s needs, intranet testing can be performed by us under
varying degrees of disclosure of network information from the client, for
example with or without network accounts.
Dial-in RAS Security Assessment
Dial-in links pose a potential threat to the integrity of the network security
system. We examine dial-up connections that allow employees to access the
network through public telephone lines or other dial-up connections. Given a
range of telephone exchanges that may include modems, we can identify target
numbers that allow for remote access. Using these numbers, we attempt to exploit
vulnerabilities in the system and gain access to the network. We can also assess
risks posed by the exposure of dial-up connections to the public telephone
network which might undermine the client’s own internal security architecture.
Web Application Assessment
This assessment examines what services are being offered on Web-based portals
and e-commerce applications to examine potential vulnerabilities with respect to
authentication, authorization, data integrity, data confidentiality, and
consumer privacy concerns. We can
test these applications using either zero-knowledge testing or full-access
testing to examine the full range of potential vulnerabilities. We also conduct
source code audits to identify any potential vulnerability among the
applications and scripts that are accessible through the Web.
Wireless Assessment
Wireless networks, while highly convenient, present additional security threats
since the wireless signals are not limited by the physical boundaries of a
traditional network. We evaluate how to prevent wireless communications from
being exposed to eavesdropping and access by unauthorized intruders.
Additionally, we examine the enterprise infrastructure for unencrypted or
standard WEP enabled access points that may be vulnerable in order to ensure the
security of the network.
Social Engineering Assessment
Social engineering involves manipulating and/or deceiving company employees and
other human resources to gain unauthorized access to a network or to
confidential information. We are a premier consulting firm in our ability to
identify weak links in the security chain through exploitation of human
vulnerabilities. We leverage our unparalleled expertise in this field to expose
what is often the weakest link in the information security apparatus:
the human element.
Once individual or systemic weaknesses are identified, we recommend procedures
designed to ensure that employees do not divulge information that could
compromise company assets. The social engineering assessment not only uses
tactics intended to gain confidential information, but also to induce
unsuspecting employees to create vulnerabilities that can subsequently be
exploited to gain access to confidential information.
Telecommunications Assessment
We have unique experience testing vulnerabilities in private bank exchanges that
operate company voicemail and messaging systems. Unauthorized access to these
systems can allow an intruder to eavesdrop on and manipulate employee voicemail
messages, initiate outgoing calls from internal company lines, and access
corporate telephone networks and directories.
Database Assessment
Client lists, credit card records, and other confidential information held in
databases must be given particular protection from unauthorized disclosure. We
test database integrity to determine whether any vulnerability may compromise
this sensitive information.
Physical Security Assessment
Access to confidential information can often be obtained by simply gaining
physical access to company premises. We conducts on-site surveillance to assess
physical security and uses social engineering, pass key duplication, and other
techniques designed to gain physical entry into secure areas and the network
system.
In addition, we offer Security consulting Services on all kind of Security
equipment such as GPS tracking, bugs & taps and detectors, listening devices,
telephone encryption, telephone recorders, audio bugs, cellular encryption and
telephone encryption, wireless jammers, voice changers, night vision monocular
and binoculars, counter surveillance equipment, covert video surveillance,
generic CCTV, biometrical recognition, personal security and self defense.
Please note that consulting on those services may not necessarily be available
to companies & individuals and some of them are offered to government agencies
only. Please contact us for more details.
Forensic Analysis
In addition to preventing future attacks, we can conduct forensic analysis to
evaluate past security breaches. This analysis examines log reports, compares
backups to identify modifications to the network, and investigates the
introduction of foreign software tools to help identify intruders, determine the
extent to which the network has been compromised, and mitigate potential damages
from the intrusion.
Employee Background Checks
Your employees are your front line in protecting your intellectual property from
those who shouldn't have access to it. However, if you haven't explored the
history of your employees, they may very well be the people you don't want
accessing your most important data. Your company must also be aware of the
current trend of "negligent hiring" claims being made around the country. In the
case where an employee does harm to a client, another employee, or a business
associate, your company could be held liable if you failed to perform the proper
background checks before hiring them.
We can help provide you the information you need to make the correct hiring
decision, protecting both your company and your data.
Locating Individuals
Even though this service isn't directly security related, we
can locate individual persons for you - worldwide. We use modern cutting edge
telecommunication techniques and investigation methods to for example locate an
old classmate, a relative who immigrated to another country or a friend you lost
touch with. We have developed our own unique location tracking methodology which
takes the
6-degrees-of-separation model into account.
Intrusion Investigation
We can investigate documented intrusion attempts in to your network and
situations where data was actually compromised. Through investigation, you can
find the source of the attack, the techniques used, and how to correct these
flaws. While it is always best to stop attacks before they happen, it is
important to investigate any possible compromise of your intellectual property.
