Security Health Check
As organisations embrace new emerging technologies, critical data and information transgresses the internal and external networks. Interaction takes place with external parties, such as customers and suppliers, via email, file transfer, voice and video. New technological “convenience” introduces new sets of risks. These risks need to be managed and mitigated.
The eSecure Security Health Check provides organisations with an overview of IT security vulnerabilities that exist throughout the business environment.
In order to obtain an understanding of the technical vulnerabilities within your IT environment, our technical Security Health Check will examine the following aspects of the IT environment of the organisation:
- The architecture - determine that a defence-in-depth posture is employed such that, where possible, the compromise
of any single component will not compromise
the entire security architecture.
- Firewalls and routers – a sample of two firewalls will be reviewed to determine the applicability and security provided
by rule-sets. Filter rules in routers will also be examined.
- Operating systems and Applications – a sample of two operating systems will be examined to determine if the
correct lock –down and configurations are deployed. Specific identified applications and web servers will be examined
to ensure applications are deployed on hardened web server platforms, with applications sufficiently secure to protect
against malicious attack.
For a more detailed investigation, the scope of the Security Health Check can be customised to specific system(s) or areas within your organisation.
