The statement comes in response to this week’s National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) theme, which focuses on raising awareness about the importance of conducting regular testing to build resilience in critical systems and prevent cyber attacks.
Alan Calder, the founder and chief executive officer of IT Governance, said: “Organisations should take a good look at TJX Companies Inc. which suffered data breaches because of an insecure wireless network that had less security than many people have on their home networks. This proves cyber security can’t be ignored and that penetration testing is the solution that enables organisations to identify and fix potential vulnerabilities in their IT network.”
To help organisations identify the critical vulnerabilities in their network, IT Governance provides a range of penetration tests. The CREST-accredited Infrastructure (Network) Penetration Test provides a complete solution to effectively test an organisation’s IT network infrastructure and ensure information security against ongoing and evolving threats.
The Infrastructure (Network) penetration test service comprises of a careful scoping of the test environment, a range of manual tests using the Open Source Security Testing Methodology (OSSTM), a series of vulnerability scans, immediate notification of any identified critical vulnerabilities, a detailed technical report on the vulnerabilities identified, recommended countermeasures and an executive summary that explains the risks in business terms.
The consultant-driven Infrastructure (Network) Penetration Test combines a number of advanced manual tests with automated vulnerability scans that can be used to help organizations meet the requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and the international best-practice standard for information security, ISO 27001.
Moreover, organisations wishing to achieve compliance with the PCI DSS can opt for IT Governance’s CREST-accredited PCI Compliance Penetration Testing services.
In addition, IT Governance offers a Combined Infrastructure and Web Application penetration testing, which helps organisations identify and address any vulnerabilities in both network and websites or web applications.
