Periodic remote security tests
No IT system can remain unchanged for long. The most frequent reasons for modification include:
- software upgrade,
- development processes,
- emergency response,
- intended or unintended changes in configuration,
- administrators’ mistakes.
Each change poses a risk that new gaps in the security system appear and that it will be possible to access it from the Internet. The human factor, i.e. occurrence of new vulnerabilities due to administrators’ mistakes (e.g. when configuring a firewall), is usually underestimated. Moreover, computer technologies quickly become obsolete, which constitutes another reason that argues for systematic vulnerability scanning, especially in case of systems available from the Internet.
New information on how to break security controls are published each day and it is good to be up to date. For our Clients we offer assistance in security maintenance by means of remote monitoring of system security.
Within this service we perform periodic vulnerability scanning through the Internet. Clients have access to a dedicated administration panel where they can plan tests and collect their results. Unlike in many other solutions offered on the market, we not only perform automatic scanning but also a specialist verifies identified problems. As a result, the number of false alarms, which cannot be avoided in automatic processes, is limited and Clients obtain information only on confirmed vulnerabilities.
