Vulnerability Assessments

Vulnerability assessments assist in ensuring that all software applications on your network are patched and securely configured.

Nclose performs vulnerability assessments on a regular basis, as and when required by your organisation. Our line-up of test tools and applications includes open source as well as commercial solutions; ensuring that as many possible forms of attack and deviance are checked for during each assessment.

Penetration Testing

Penetration testing takes vulnerability assessments to the next level by attempting to breach your network’s boundaries.

This may sound counter productive, but penetration testing stresses your network security in a realistic manner, while simultaneously giving you insight into your immediate risks. Nclose’s customized approach extends well beyond conventional attack methodology; delving deep into the fast developing threat that social engineering poses to your network resources.

Ensuring that your test is the real deal

Penetration testing is easily confused with vulnerability testing, and unscrupulous security firms often sell inadequate solutions that leave their clients open to network attacks from outside, and within, their organisations.

In penetration testing there is no grey area: it’s all black and white

Nclose offers unique black- and white-box testing that approaches your network from commonly used avenues.

Black-box testing simulates attacks that are based on a complete lack of information on your network. These attacks are typically mounted by hackers that know what they want, but know nothing about the environment in which it is hosted.

White-box testing simulates attacks that people inside your organisation may plan, or assist with. Disgruntled employees, or spies, may pass essential network information to hackers, or use it themselves to penetrate your network for various reasons.

A combination of these testing protocols easily identifies areas of your network that require additional protection and strengthening, as well as existing areas of strength that can be used as building blocks for complete protection.

Network size is no longer a determining factor

Penetration testing is not simply for large networks belonging to large organisations. Small organisation are equally vulnerable and often used as pathways into larger networks, making protection against attacks essential.
Nclose understands this priority and offers a variety of innovative and competitively priced solutions that allow affordable testing of any network – regardless of size or budget.
