Vulnerability Assessment
 
 
Business Benefits:
 
Affordable one-time or monthly cost 
Reduced risk of legal liability from security breaches or illegal use of corporate systems
Maintained trust from customers, suppliers, partners in confidentiality of sensitive information and availability of business-critical applications
Avoidance of lost productivity, revenue loss from downtime of business-critical applications or compromised corporate data
IT Benefits:
 
Comprehensive, prioritized reporting of internal and external system vulnerabilities and anomalous network and computer usage patterns, with recommendations for eliminating them
Automated, continuous on-site operation with minimal staff impact and secure remote monitoring
Flexible scanning options & reporting periods (one-time, semi-annual, quarterly, monthly)
Liberation of valuable IT staff time to focus on other business-critical tasks
Best Suited For:
 
Companies needing an initial benchmark of their vulnerability to technology and personnel-based "social engineering" attacks
Organizations looking to complement or refresh a prior security audit
Corporate security managers wanting to validate adherence to security policies and procedures
Technologies Employed:
 
Security Scanning Appliance (SSA):  Installed safely behind the corporate firewall and remotely managed via a secure encrypted link, the SSA performs regular on-site scans for known security vulnerabilities, as well as continuous capture, analysis and storage of actual network flow information for identification of suspicious traffic patterns.
Social engineering tests to evaluate the degree to which a workforce is vulnerable to attacks which attempt to manipulate personnel into divulging internal information or performing actions that compromise corporate security
Password audit tools to evaluate how resistant end-user passwords are to being guessed or cracked
Available Services:
 
One-time or ongoing "vulnerability scorecard" of strength of defenses associated with:
Logical perimeter devices (routers, firewalls, intrusion detection systems)
End-user security practices and procedures
End-user passwords used to access business-critical resources
Internal network (wireline and wireless) and Internet access infrastructure
Internal workstations, servers, and network devices
Review, interpretation and prioritization (in order of risk) of identified vulnerabilities
Recommendation of strategies and tactics for elimination or mitigation of identified vulnerabilities
Design, implementation, and testing of recommendations
Delivery of end-user security awareness, training programs

NetPersist's new
high-performance
SSA-2000 can perform a comprehensive vulnerability assessment of multiple networks and systems for a fraction of the time and cost of a traditional security audit, as well as monitor network performance between sites.
 

Functions:

Scans systems for active services and known software vulnerabilities

Captures, analyzes, and profiles network traffic to identify worm, virus, spy-ware activity or misuse
Monitors end-to-end network performance to sites you specify
Reports results on secure on-board web-server for easy viewing

Features:

1U rack-mountable chassis
Supports traffic capture from up to two Gigabit Ethernet links
Secure Linux-based kernel
On-board NetPersist knowledge-base of known vulnerabilities and recommendations 
Graphical and text-based reports
