The business environment has changed rapidly over the
last few years. Dependence on IT continues to grow - 76%
of UK businesses now believe they have sensitive or
critical information (source: PWC Security report 2003).
Most UK businesses now have web sites, send and receive
e-mail across the Internet, and provide staff with web
access. Web sites are increasingly able to accept
transactions from customers on-line. As a result, the
risk of IT security breaches has increased
significantly, particularly the external threat from
hackers and viruses.
Penetration testing involves Q2 attempting to penetrate
you’re company’s network from the Internet. Q2 attempt
to gain access to you’re the company’s network from all
known possible points of entry, uncovering and
exploiting whatever vulnerabilities they find in the
client’s network, software and hardware. Findings and
recommendations are issued in a comprehensive report to
help confirm the effectiveness, or rather
ineffectiveness, of the security measures that have been
implemented.
The use of the word IT infrastructure is used generally
to depict a firm’s technological contact with the
outside world. This typically is in two methods: A web
site and a firm’s network via any type of outside
communication link like an Internet connection. |
