Periodic testing and audits are critical, whether the intent is to thwart malicious hackers or meet compliance standards. Network auditing is an important security tool. It provides IT administrators with a two-pronged approach to network security. First, it provides an accurate view of the entire network and subnets, making it easier to spot any open ports, unaccounted for components or other discrepancies. Second, it allows prompt action to protect against any open vulnerability. Network security is not just about protecting an individual computer; it is also about identifying and correcting vulnerability found in the entire network. Network auditing is an indispensable tool in the maintenance of a healthy network.
All networks are open to certain vulnerabilities that can result in data theft, network connectivity failure, a device or an entire subnet that is out of compliance, and the possible introduction of viruses through unprotected ports or unsupervised access. Network auditing allows you to secure your network by discovering and probing devices connected to the network, their ports, security vulnerabilities, running software and any upgrades required for compliance. Coolcat can help with minimal administrative effort.
Our advanced security team is focused on forensics, ethical hacking, application, perimeter and penetration security testing. Coolcat performs a controlled hacking exercise or penetration testing against networks (wired and wireless) and application environments. This exercise often uncovers openings or flaws that was thought to be secure. Would you like to know what your vulnerabilities really are?
