Network Assessment, Our Process

"If you spend more money on coffee than IT security, you will be hacked. And moreover, you deserve to be hacked."
- Richard Clarke, Czar, White House Office on Cyber Terrorism

Our Network Security Assessment (NSA) includes external & internal scans of your network, as well as a full review of your firewall and security policies. We conduct a thorough analysis of your network vulnerabilities and provide a detailed action plan.

You Audit your Books, Now Audit your Network!

Our customized reports will provide you with the same information about your network perimeter that is readily available to anyone on the Internet with the proper tools. It is imperative that you learn what the bad guys already know about your network perimeter.

"The most important factor in any conflict is to know yourself you must evaluate your strengths and your weaknesses. In order to defend yourself, you must know where you are weak; in order to preserve yourself, you must first determine how an opponent can defeat you."
- Sun Tzu’s The Art of War.

An Estimated 19 million people now have the skills to be able to hack into the White House
-Office on Cyberspace Security

If the White House is vulnerable, odds are that you are too. Our external scans show you all of the weaknesses and in-securities which can be exploited by careless or curious users, former employees, viruses & worms, malware, hackers, as well as serious industrial espionage agents.

Don't think your network is probed or scanned because you have not had problems? Guess again! That’s like saying "what you don't know can't hurt you." Knowledge is power and by knowing what your network looks like from the Internet, you can protect your business from potential compromises.

The administration's plan, called the "National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace," stresses that primary responsibility for Internet security must come from individuals and corporations, rather than the government

Proactive Risk Management

Pay me now or pay me more later; network security really boils down to that simple concept. We pay to secure our lives, health, car, homes and now, our IT infrastructure. What would it cost you if your entire system went down for a day, a week? What would it cost you if proprietary information got in the wrong hands?

Legal action, financial loss and negative publicity are all very real consequences of network vulnerabilities!

At Netforcement, we subscribe to the adage that an ounce of prevention beats a pound of cure. The first step in protecting your network is to assess and understand what is at risk on your network, what the consequences would be if your network were compromised, and where your network may be vulnerable to attack.

Here is what we do, step-by-step, to secure your information and computer network:

Run an External Vulnerability Scan on your External IP Range. more info
Provide an Analysis of the Scan. more info
Run an Internal Vulnerability Scan on the Network. more info
We Review, Prioritize, Plan, Implement Remediation. more info
Run External Penetration Testing Against Servers. more info
Back-up/Disaster Recovery System Assessment more info
Anti-Virus Assessment more info
What Anti-Virus Can't Prevent Have you checked for Malware/Pests? more info
Remote Access/VPN Assessment more info
Wireless Security Assessment more info
Information Security Acceptable Usage Policies more info
Review & Repeat more info

Now that the basics are covered we can look into.

More advanced security issues.

Do you need Intrusion Detection, Website Filtering, eMail Monitoring, Content Inspection, Disaster Recovery, Emergency Response Planning? Concerned about Spam? Maybe but why would any organization even consider these, if all of the above steps were not addressed previously?
