Vulnerability assesment
Vulnerability Assessment
Vulnerability Assessment is the determination of weaknesses while also ranking impact
severity in a computer system. A support team can take this information and implement
mitigation needed to resolve issues, and also improve upon them.
CyberSec is one of the most experienced, real-world "Black Hat" subject matter experts in
the industry today which can provide an all-encompassing, high-quality Security
Vulnerability Assessment and Threat Mitigation findings report, which your
organization can rely on.
From people to process to practice, CyberSec evaluates every possible option using advanced
vulnerability assessment tools and best practices. Risk Management identifies what’s
needed in overall threat prevention.
CyberSec provides this along with a comprehensive Impact metrics to help ensure the most
important and most manageable security issues are addressed.
To safeguard your organization’s environment is as secure as your teams can make it.
Also, to have all the audit artifacts and updated documentation available for internal
or external audit presentation. But most importantly, to have both an impartial
credibility along with a seasoned veteran expert who can provide the best possible
security evaluation and mitigation plan available, without crushing the support
budget. Having a strong Vulnerability Assessment helps to quantify the cost and
brings mitigation benefitsto help justify business approvals.
The average business uses business applications from the dozens, and some ranging
in the hundreds. Each of these applications has a level of complexity that requires
validation to stay secure.
CyberSec provides these time-honored services with a history of experience and proven
reliability by providing outstanding Vulnerability evaluation with robustassessments.
Data Security
Data Security and integrity methodologies create a strong security framework for your
organization. Protecting your digital information requires careful planning, testing,
and periodic quality assurance assessments to make sure your original
data protection and security integrations continue to work, as design.
We help centralize and better manage your day-to-day data security services by helping
you evaluate your existing environment and create process improvement planning to
grow with your current data security infrastructure.
Data security standards
The importance in your company using and following industry-current data security
standards will ensure both your applications and data files are following agreed upon
transport protocols, encryption, and coding practices necessary to facilitate a
secure environment.
Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards (DSS) was created to address
common data security concerns for credit card holders when processing monetary
transactions, electronically. It uses structured data elements to identify and
mitigate cardholder data security issues such as account data hacks, bogus
transmitting magnetic strip readers, or credit card number and pin password spying.
We work with your teams, taking the latest industry standards and helping you plan
and implement them with on-going scheduled assessment examines for quality assurance.
Standards plus Black to White Hat expertise will help provide a solid framework for
your current data security infrastructure.
Identity Access Management
Data security solutions for Identity Access Management (IAM) provide administrative
toolkits to manage your user community’s Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
needs. Data security companies who provide the software to support these platforms
will assist and guide initial purchase and first time implementation efforts,
but managing and supporting the on-going complexity the cyber-criminal community
forces gets more and more challenging, every day. IAM is made up of three important
practices; Authentication, Authorization, and Account audit provisioning.
Authentication
For users to access your organization’s business applications and network, login account credentials must
be maintained in a directory services repository environment. Your data security system for this could be a Microsoft Active
Directory services solution. Using the strongest encryption levels possible is mandatory when protecting PII account
user information. By utilizing a centralized user account database, your programmers and support teams will have the manageable
tools necessary to create Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) workflow adapters so that your multiple platforms
have a central, single-sign on solution in place. We can help you evaluate and identify the best data security products for
IAM functionality which will be both cost effective and strong when feeding user account credentials through login fields.
Authorization
Once a user’s name and password has been authenticated by your data security program, the permissions level for the account
is then evaluated and the access routed to the appropriate approved security locations on your network. Each principal user
account has a “role” which is a security permissions group assigned to them to help facilitate role-based access controls.
CyberSec has role-based proven strategies to use that can save your company hours of application research. These strategies
consist of best practice approaches for structuring and supporting a security roles-based environment.
Account audit provisioning
Small, medium, and enterprise data security environments managing user accounts takes a considerable amount of resources.
If these resources are not balanced correctly, process weakness can occur and accounts can be compromised through cyber-criminal
identity theft efforts. Keeping account status attributes accurate and up-to-date through strong IAM procedures is essential for
account provisioning and audit reporting. Our vulnerability assessment planning strategies include IAM procedure best practices that
will help accommodate all your IAM support needs.
Data security risk assessment
Data security and privacy levels requires re-evaluation at least once a year.
Quarterly or annual data security assessment reviews is essential to keep up with
the latest security risks in cyberspace, but also to validate your on-going,
day-to-day business operation procedures when it comes to user account
provisioning, software patching, identifiable data security breach incidents,
or data security risk potentials both internal and external to your company’s
network perimeter.
All of these risks and vulnerabilities are covered in a highly thorough and
comprehensive security risk assessment we can provide, leveraging industry
best practice standards and our many years of security architecture designing.
Our holistic dashboard findings report will help you and your teams identify
all areas of weakness and give them the recommendations needed to correct these
vulnerabilities.
Database security risks
As databases become more internet-facing, it’s becoming more difficult every year
to fully protect data content inside database systems. Hackers utilizing SQL
injection strategies, malicious java or windows script coding, and user permission
circumventing methods, data security problems on databases continue to grow every
year.
Our data security consultants have the prevention experience to work with your
database administrators and help implement all the security controls required to
remediate these types of risks.
Data security risks
Data files, data objects, and the applications and networks managing their access
and integrity requires an experienced data security company like CyberSec to give
your business the quality assurance needed to mitigate the large challenges the
internet and cybercriminal communities represent.
From hijacking sessions onto your local wireless network, to spy-bot dropped
malicious malware insertions onto your device browsers, cyberspace internet
communication is not just the information superhighway to the world, but also the
playground for aggressive cyber-criminals.
Most hackers use grab-and-run tactics so it’s not impossible install a solid threat
prevention framework for your network. Having third-party, real-world expertise will
give your security teams the advantage needed to fully protection your company’s
systems from Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) attacks and data routing engineering schemes.
Private data through application access requires grant-privilege management and
field masking so only the appropriate personnel or customers have access to it.
With grant-privilege management, pre-defined rules are set against security groups
to allow only the users who have been setup for this access to obtain the information.
An example of field masking could be a display field in an application only showing the
service desk technician the last four digits of a customer’s SSN for identity
validation.
Data security compliance through regular audit reviews cross-checks existing process
and procedure controls in-scope for the audit. These IT Security controls originate
from data evaluations and application risk assessments that are initiated to help
identify and mitigate the vulnerability.
Data files residing on computer hard drives can be sealed and safely encrypted
using either a file-level encryption or a storage-media level of encryption.
It’s important to have an encryption strategy for all data stored areas of your
infrastructure to make sure access to those files is as secure as possible.
With encryption enabled for hard drives, such as a laptop, desktop, or file
server hard drive, planning must be carefully done to offset the performance
degradation too much encryption can impact on the media. That is why we help
assess your encryption needs and bring you the recommendations on how to best
implement these types of solutions while also taking the balance of data
compression and controller performance into consideration.
We also recommend a good backup and recovery plan in case the storage encryption
gets corrupted, and data becomes unrecoverable. Long-term use of highly encrypted
devices can sometimes cause this more frequently than regular, non-compressed system
media disks.
Using a combination of Secure Socket Layer (SSL), Certificate of Authority servers,
and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) solutions will help provide your environment the
strongly secured channels it needs. These tools help to protect your data fully in
transport. Data transports such as login data with name and password, copied data
from one hard drive media to another, and internet session or file transferred data
must have secure tunneling. Key-indexed handshake communication is required to help
keep the cyber-criminals out from seeing your data.
External data flows transporting through your internet, intranet, or wireless
topologies require end-to-end reliability when it comes to source and destination
targeting.
Our overall penetration assessments help give this by mapping out all your network
traffic areas for optimization opportunities ensuring your organization gets the
strongest and most encrypted infrastructure mapping when it comes to safeguarding
your data transports.
