Vulnerability assessments encompassing both external and internal network scans can identify:
- Publicly exposed systems: These are systems accessible from the internet that may be vulnerable to external attacks.
- Internal systems with unauthorized network services: This refers to systems within your network running services that are not approved or sanctioned by your organization.
Conduct a comprehensive internal vulnerability assessment to identify:
- Outdated operating systems: Systems running on older versions of operating systems may lack critical security patches, making them more susceptible to exploits.
- Unpatched software: Applications with known vulnerabilities that haven't been addressed through updates pose a security risk.
- Exposed or unauthorized services or software: Services running on internal systems that are not essential for business functions or haven't been approved by IT security can introduce vulnerabilities.
Network Security Posture Assessment:
This assessment will identify any areas where your network architecture might introduce security vulnerabilities.
- Segmentation: A well-designed network architecture utilizes segmentation techniques, such as VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks), to isolate sensitive systems like guest Wi-Fi and accounting systems. This compartmentalization helps to contain security incidents and minimize potential damage if a breach occurs.
- Security Controls: The assessment will also examine the placement and effectiveness of firewalls and other security controls throughout your network.
Data Security Assessment: This assessment will identify any potential gaps in your data security posture that could leave your sensitive information vulnerable.
- Data Classification and Access Controls: The assessment will review your data classification procedures and access control protocols.
- Data Encryption: We will evaluate the use of encryption at rest and in transit to safeguard data confidentiality. Strong encryption practices are crucial for protecting data throughout its lifecycle.
- Data Loss Prevention (DLP): The assessment will examine your DLP policies and tools to identify potential data leakage risks.
Fidelitas Backup Analysis: Ensuring Data Recovery Readiness
A Backup Analysis provides a comprehensive evaluation of your organization's data backup and recovery processes. This in-depth assessment helps identify any weaknesses that could hinder your ability to recover critical data in the event of a disaster or system outage.
