Server Security Audit

A Security Audit will offer your organization the opportunity to examine your systems for compliance to a variety of security standards. These standards can include internal and external security policies, software manufacture recommendations, legal requirements, and known "best practices." Our Security Specialists will identify areas where your systems are out of compliance and provide you with a written estimate of investment that's necessary to achieve conformance.


Security Auditing will identify the following potential problems

  • Check service pack levels
  • Check for missing security patches
  • Check for security alerts/vulnerabilities
  • Detect unnecessary shares
  • Detect unnecessary open ports
  • Check for unused user accounts
  • Check password policy and strength
  • Detect potential Trojans on servers and workstations

Company Wide Security Threat Assessment and Reduction

A network must be designed with the goal of reducing or eliminating the risk of a security breach. A Security Threat Assessment will allow you to understand where your organization may be vulnerable to a security breach. Using specialized vulnerability management software tools and a series of interviews, our security consultants can help you identify critical areas of vulnerability. These assessments will be performed both internally and externally.

Threat Assessment Process:
  • Identify and assess your most critical infrastructures and processes
  • Intrusion detection and analysis via data mining and port scanning
  • Recommend methods to detect future cyber attacks Recommend data integrity and protection
  • Recommend data integrity and protection
  • Prepare assessment report
  • Written estimate for parts and labor to implement a security "upgrade"
Firewall Selection and Implementation

A reliable firewall is a critical aspect of any security initiative. A firewall will examine each network packet to determine whether or not to forward it to its destination. It also includes or works with a proxy server that makes network requests on behalf of workstation users. Our consultants will assist you in selecting and implementing a firewall that will meet the needs of your organization. We are highly knowledgeable with the industry's premier firewall manufacturers, including Netscreens™, Check Point™, and Cisco™.

There are numerous firewall screening methods. A simple screening method is to screen requests to ensure they come from acceptable (previously identified) domain names and Internet Protocol addresses. The most effective firewall implementation is Stateful Packet Inspection.
