- Unpatched software
- Unsecured remote access
- Accounts with excessive permissions
- Weak and easily guessed passwords
Levels of Network Security Testing
Consider your needs and the depth of testing available from BKD Risk Management Group:Network scanning – Port scanners determine existing devices, open ports and services operating on these ports – a beginning step for full penetration testing.
Vulnerability scanning – Identifies network hosts, services, operating system, applications and related vulnerabilities – a highly automated scan based on a database of vulnerabilities.
Penetration testing – Network and vulnerability scanning combined with the human element of verification of vulnerabilities – a process that emulates a true hacking approach. External penetration testing simulates Internet-based attacks. Internal penetration testing simulates attacks by disgruntled individuals who have breached your network’s perimeter defenses.
After our tests, you’ll receive a report describing security concerns and recommendations to lessen the likelihood your organization will be subjected to system exploitation or sensitive information disclosure.
Security is a Continuous Process
You are never finished with network security. Anytime a new system is implemented or significant changes are made to your existing system, you must consider the effect on security. BKD Risk Management Group can help with quarterly security testing.Certified Resources
