Network and Infrastructure Security Assessment

• Application Security: Application related security threats represent an ever-growing and increasingly significant concern for organizations. Unified Security’s approach to application security uses manual analysis combined with automated software tools to identify application security vulnerabilities.
• Database Security: Wrongly configured databases can expose an organization to critical data security threats. Unified Security can help clients improve their database security through review, identify security configuration issues, and provide recommendations for improving databases in the mainframe centralized environment or in the distributed environment.
• Operating System Security: Wrongly configured operating systems (OS) can expose an organization to critical security threats. Unified Security can help clients improve their operating systems security through review, identify security configuration issues, and provide recommendations for improving your OS security.

Depending on clients need, Unified Security performs internal or external vulnerability assessments to detect, identify, and assess security gaps in your network. Our vulnerability scanning will include your network, servers, routers, web facing application, and mobile devices. We will analyze, assess, and prioritize findings and provide recommendations to improve you IT security posture and reduce the risk to your organization.

Penetration Testing or ethical hacking is recognized as a good practice conducted in an information security program to assess the security posture of networks by safely identifying network vulnerabilities before they are exploited to produce unwanted events. While vulnerability scanning is very effective at identifying potential vulnerabilities very quickly, it does not confirm they actually exist. Only through penetration testing on target system, one can validate which vulnerabilities actually exist and they cause risk. Performing a manual penetration testing is an effective practice to discover those actual vulnerabilities but it requires skill set and resources to execute a real-world attack. At the conclusion of our testing, a findings and recommendations report is provided which includes a detailed description of each issue, an associated severity rating, an exploitability risk rating, and recommendations for addressing the issues. Our Penetration Testing process helps clients in identifying vulnerabilities in the following:

• Internal Infrastructure Penetration Testing: This test will include understanding your internal infrastructure attack vectors and their likelihood of success is equally important as perimeter security, and we will attempt to gain unauthorized access to internal systems, applications, and sensitive information. Our internal penetration testing can be conducted remotely or on-site.
• External Infrastructure Penetration Testing: Commonly the external infrastructure is considered to be the main target of attacks. Possible attackers are both human hackers as well as automated worms. It is vital for any business to guard itself from unwanted intruders and attackers while at the same time continue serving customers as well as other modern business needs. This test identifies the flaws and risks exposed in external infrastructures are the email servers, Domain Name Servers, Web servers, VPN access points, perimeter firewalls, routers, etc. that are publicly accessible from the Internet.
• Web and Mobile Applications Penetration Testing: Web applications vulnerabilities ((XSS, CSRF, SQL Injection) have resulted in the theft of millions of credit cards, major financial and reputational damage. Unified Security Web and Mobile Application Penetration Testing service is built on the web application vulnerability scan where we manually verify the existence and exploitability of potential vulnerabilities in a given application through a real world attacks.
• Wireless Network Security Assessment: Insecure wireless networks provide a simple way for attackers to penetrate your organization’s infrastructure. Rogue access points, installed by employees on the infrastructure, which do not follow the organization’s security guidelines, as well as misconfigured access points can be used to compromise your organization. Wireless penetration testing encompass test of network security, device security, user access management process and review of access logs and audit trails. Unified Security can help clients identify weakness in their wireless infrastructure through our approach which is compromised of a mix of black box and white box testing. At the conclusion of our testing, a findings and recommendations report is provided which includes a detailed description of each issue, an associated severity rating, an exploitability risk rating, and recommendations for addressing the issues.
• Social Engineering Security Reviews: Social Engineering is a technique used by hackers to gain access to information systems through human conversation or other means of interaction such as telephone, email message, television commercials. Social engineering assessment helps organizations to identify weakness within the organization, and measure the effectiveness of their security awareness programs. Our approach is to work closely to define the test scenarios tailored to specific policies and processes within their organization. Those test scenarios include information gathering, planning, testing activities (remotely or on-site).
