Leading e-security expert, AfricaSD, is offering a network security vulnerability scan with a difference. Aware that companies rarely have the time to wade through the reams of data produced by a detailed scan of their network and that they are also reluctant to pay for non-essential information, about secure IP addresses, for instance, AfricaSD is offering to comprehensively scan your entire network and only charge a flat fee of R28 for each individual IP address where vulnerabilities are discovered.
"The only way to be sure your network is really secure is to continually test it," explains Hennie Moolman, MD of Centurion-based AfricaSD, "and yet CIOs are right to be circumspect about purchasing a tool to perform such a mission-critical task. Such a check has to be detailed and thorough, but we also appreciate that organisations do not necessarily want to have to wade through 50 pages of report per IP address."
Attacks on an organisation`s information assets come in many forms and this is where AfricaSD`s extensive experience training people on the latest hacking techniques is a distinct advantage. "About the only constraint on hacks these days are the imaginations of the perpetrators carrying them out," confirms Moolman. "Our `Counterstrike BBH` hacking course is based on the very latest hacking techniques and we draw on this knowledge when we test a network. If your network passes our test you can be highly confident you are keeping malicious intruders out."
AfricaSD`s comprehensive Vulnerability Scan will inspect your entire network for the following kinds of vulnerabilities: missing security patches; outdated service packs; unnecessarily open ports and shares; vulnerable wireless access points; suspicious USB devices; peculiar key registry entries; dubious services or applications running on machines; weak passwords, users and groups, amongst others.
"We pride ourselves on our ability to play `devil`s advocate` and alert you to any potential weaknesses before a hacker can exploit them," asserts Moolman. "It is an approach which requires a really thorough examination of a network and incorporates stealth scans, SNMP device detection, identifying any blacklisted applications that have been installed, and checking the configurations of security applications."
Another feature of the AfricaSD Vulnerability Scan is its concise analysis report. "Our report is detailed, but only about actual vulnerabilities and the emphasis is on suggesting practical and efficient solutions in a way that is comprehensible to non-technical people as well as IT management," clarifies Moolman.
