Network Risk Assessment and Penetration Testing
 

The terms risk assessment and penetration testing are often used interchangeably. This is mostly because both services are usually performed at the same time. However, there are differences in the terms and the testing. A risk assessment is the process of gathering information about the network and discovering potential security risks and reporting those risks to the customer. Penetration testing is active attempting to exploit those vulnerabilities and gain access to the customers network.

This testing requires access to the network devices and performs hundreds of different security attacks on the network. Using our machines and software packages, we simulate attacks on the devices and generate reports based on the results of the attacks. We will also use direct testing to try and gain access to your network. Direct testing is when LEI security professionals manual try to gain access to your network using the newest attacks that may not be incorporated into the software. We will also use attack methods that may not be included with just software programs. This multi layer approach to the testing provides you with the most accurate and detailed testing available.

The reports that are generated during the testing detail each successful breach and provide detailed information describing the attack, the security concerns about the attack, and gives suggestions on how to block that security hole from future breaches. The report also lists other factors like security complexity, popularity, impact and ease of fix. With this information, we can eliminate unnecessary security risks and help prevent future vulnerability.
