Effective solutions require real-world assessment.
We Believe You Deserve The Best Security Precautions
As an IT service provider, we know the value of partnering with experts. That is why we collaborate with third-party providers like Ingram Micro for services like vulnerability and penetration testing. Vulnerability scans and pen tests are two different ways of assessing your overall security posture before actual threats uncover the weak points in your infrastructure.
- Vulnerability Analysis: This is a static process that searches your network and systems for security vulnerabilities that real attacks might try to take advantage of. Its purpose is to identify these weak points before someone with malicious intent discovers them.
- Penetration Testing: This is different from a vulnerability assessment because it is an active simulated attack that will try to gain access to your systems. Security testing like this exploits weaknesses and shows you the real-world consequences of a security breach without the costly fallout from an actual data breach.
Both of these precautions are part of a comprehensive security plan, and both of them are best performed by objective security professionals. We work with a third-party provider because it is in the client’s best interest to have the security precautions we provide tested by someone who is impartial and has access to the best penetration testing tools.
Stability Networks trusts in our intrusion protection, but more than that, we strive to deliver the best service for our clients. That means always working to find ways we can improve your cyber security.
Compliance and security are two different concerns.
Stability Networks can help you address both of them.
Security Is About More Than Intrusion Prevention
A significant advantage of vulnerability scanning and pen testing is the documentation that comes with the results of these tests. Stability Networks has partnered with clients in the past who must concern themselves with remaining compliant with industry or federal regulations.
These standards have been put in place to establish guidelines for application security and protect the consumer. There are significant consequences that can come with falling short of these regulations, such as fines and penalties—not to mention a damaged reputation with customers.
Stability Networks helps you remain compliant by performing audits that will identify your shortcomings and weak spots that real auditors will look for, including areas for improvement and compliance requirements for regulations such as PCI and HIPAA.
We will make sure your network is in prime condition and all regulations are being followed. This is one of the ways that Stability Networks will help drive your business forward to greater success—by lifting you over the possible hurdles that could hinder your productivity and efficiency.
Vulnerability Testing Presents Other Opportunities
Our vision as a company has always been to do more than just solve your IT issues. We want to leverage our IT expertise to drive your business to greater success and higher productivity. One way that vulnerability testing can do that is the proactive approach that it brings to the workplace.
One of the most common ways that virus intrusion and data breaches occur is through innocent employee error. There are multiple types of phishing attacks that use social engineering and complex email tactics to persuade an employee to trust a false source and click a hazardous link.
Vulnerability assessments and penetration testing present an excellent opportunity to educate your employees on the risks they face and the strategies they can use to avoid dangerous habits.
These are the kind of methods and practices that will serve your company well for many years to come. Instilling the importance of continued education and the best safe practices are part of the value that comes with a superior service provider.
