What is an Infrastructure Network Security Assessment and What Does This Service Include?
An Infrastructure Network Security Assessment is a thorough evaluation of an organisation’s network infrastructure aimed at identifying vulnerabilities, assessing security controls, and ensuring the overall robustness of the network against cyber threats. This service is crucial for maintaining the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of your network resources.
Key Components of the Service:
Network Mapping and Asset Identification- Network Mapping: Detailed mapping of your network architecture to understand the layout, interconnections, and data flow.
- Asset Identification: Inventory of all network devices, including servers, routers, firewalls, switches, and endpoints.
- Scanning: Automated and manual scanning of network components to identify vulnerabilities, such as outdated software, misconfigurations, and weak passwords.
- Analysis: Detailed analysis of identified vulnerabilities to understand their potential impact and exploitability.
- Device Configuration: Examination of the configuration settings of network devices to ensure they follow security best practices.
- Policy Review: Evaluation of network policies and access controls to verify they are properly implemented and enforced.
- Simulated Attacks: Conducting controlled attacks to test the network’s defences and identify potential points of exploitation.
- Risk Assessment: Assessing the network’s response to simulated threats and identifying areas for improvement.
- User Access: Reviewing user access levels and permissions to ensure appropriate access control and prevent unauthorized access.
- Authentication Mechanisms: Evaluating the effectiveness of authentication methods, including multi-factor authentication (MFA).
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring the network meets industry standards and regulatory requirements, such as GDPR, PCI-DSS, and ISO 27001.
