Threat and Vulnerability

Security Solutions Powered by Cybertrust

You must identify your vulnerabilities before you can mitigate the risk

Whether you are a business or government agency, you need to operate in an increasingly unpredictable security environment in order to maintain your customer focus. That means making sure you understand your threat and vulnerability landscape.

Our threat and vulnerability management services provide your organization with the preventative, detective, and corrective measures you need to help limit the frequency and impact of security incidents.

The right combination of services for your business

Application Security Reviews

Typically the first plan of action for determining vulnerabilities, this service offers a detailed security analysis of an application, its supporting infrastructure, and its security development lifecycle. It is designed to help establish a solid application security foundation and baseline, and to build and maintain security applications.

What we evaluate:

  • Security-relevant people, processes and procedures
  • Application infrastructure
  • Application source code
  • Application functions

Network Vulnerability Assessments

We provide 5 distinct Network Vulnerability Assessments:

  • Internal
  • External
  • Dial-Up
  • Wireless
  • Discovery

After the initial information gathering phase we test all assets identified and provide a list of potential vulnerabilities and risks. Then we validate the list to verify that the vulnerabilities are real and recommend how to remediate issues based on which can have the most impact to your organization.

Penetration Testing

Here, we test your systems to determine if vulnerabilities are present and if your systems might be attacked by known exploits, automated malcode threats or malicious internet users.

As part of your penetration testing service, we will:

  • Verify which systems on your network are active and what services are running
  • Identify potential security vulnerabilities and provide remediation advice
  • Rate vulnerabilities by severity to help you prioritize mitigation efforts

The penetration test includes both manual and automated tests:

  • Port scanning and banner capture to identify services available on hosts
  • Vulnerability assessment of identified services
  • Firewall checks pertinent to the type and release of firewalls employed by the business
  • Password authentication tests
  • Network protocol-based tests
  • Protocol spoofing checks
  • Network device checks
  • DNS checks
