Network Security Audit

More damaging are the attentions of people throughout the world who intentionally or unintentionally break into systems to access information and create havoc while doing so. Businesses buy boxes and claim protective measures are in place, however securing the box is but one element required to meet the recommendations contained on information security.

business drivers

Put simply, the expertise to carry out effective audits, to assess the risks inherent in open access systems, and to advise on suitable protective measures is a scarce commodity that takes time to develop, and requires continuous update to keep on track of an evolving threat model.

Policy is the most critical element of your security. Policy defines the scope of your audit process, the detail of your infrastructure, the way you provision and manage your end-to-end service delivery system. Houston Technologies Ltd. Solutions can review your existing security policy documentation and its business process.

the value proposition

Most business networks evolve significantly from their original planned use very quickly. New applications are often deployed in an ad-hoc manner by system managers or users to meet localised business needs without awareness of their impact on the overall system integrity.

For most businesses, some confirmation that their trading partners are aware of the issues, and are meeting some standard policy and practice to protect themselves is a basic prerequisite to opening a trading relationship.
