LOCAL AREA NETWORK SECURITY ASSESSMENT
Service Description
Local area network is an internal assessment involving the enumeration of vulnerabilities and risks that are accessible from within the network perimeter, behind border firewalls, on end-user LANs.
Our Methodology
Similar to external assessments, Cyber Advisory Group starts by using scanning tools to harvest vulnerability data. Our experts then validate all results to eliminate false positives and uncover any other vulnerabilities that may have initially escaped detection. To the extent possible (without damaging systems or data), identified vulnerabilities are exploited to assess their real severity, the level of exposure they offer and the potential impact of a breach.
Targets of this assessment include desktops, laptops, workstations, LAN servers, LAN switches, and LAN-based systems. Protection measures are evaluated in terms of their ability to maintain the confidentiality, integrity and availability of networks, systems, applications and data, and to repel internal threats and attack propagation.
Notes: Testing of end-user systems is performed with credentials to evaluate the security within the end-user’s context including patch-levels, vulnerable applications and out-of-date OSs.
Scope: The Local Area Network Security Assessment will target the approximately 12 workstations. CAG will report on a representative sample of laptops and desktops and report specifically on any vulnerable outliers.
Our Deliverables
In addition to the usual status updates and meetings, CAG will deliver written drafts of the following material:
- Local Area Network Security Assessment complete with findings and recommendations
