What is Technical Security Assessment?

There are two main kinds of Technical Security Assessment that 4AM CORP focuses on, Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing. If you wish to learn more you can read our article on Penetration Testing vs Vulnerability Assessment. We offer a comprehensive range of security assessment solutions for companies of all sizes (we have tested networks of over 10,000 active nodes) and also have service offerings especially for Security Architecture Review, Web Application and Application Security and Security Policy Development.If you have an internal computer network, a mail server, a web server or any kind of custom software application or web-based application you are at risk from Malicious attacks. An intruder will take any useful, worthy information they can, use your bandwidth and resources and leave you suffering a bruised ego, battered reputation and facing a severe financial loss.

Hackers, script kiddies, crackers, whatever the media currently calls them are all knocking your door. Why would someone hack me you ask? Simply because they can.
Are you prepared?
Could you survive an attack?
Are you susceptible to attacks?
Do you have a disaster recovery plan?
An intrusion mitigation strategy?

In 2005 91% of organisations reported detecting computer security breaches in the last 12 months and 97% of these had websites. Of those with web sites, 23% reported suffering an attack within the last 12 months and 27% did not know if they had been attacked or not. Of those reporting attacks, 21% reported 2-5 and 58% 10 or more.

These statistics are alarming but it's likely that these don't truly show how bad things are; only 61% of polled organisations used some form of Intrusion Detection System.
Wouldn't you prefer the hackers on your side?

4AM CORP security team will test the effectiveness of your security policies to see if they can survive a realistic, intensive attack.
