ACG has extensive experience in Network Vulnerability Assessments and Penetration Testing. Utilizing the latest commercial tools, open source utilities, and custom proprietary tools, ACG can assist you in meeting your security testing needs.
A vulnerability assessment shows the system’s security posture with respect to specific vulnerabilities. The focus of vulnerability assessment exercises is to perform a thorough examination of the IT environment and identify the weak points. The vulnerability assessment interprets and compares results against the various business processes to determine whether the perceived vulnerability is indeed valid, is a false positive or whether other security controls address the perceived vulnerability.
Building on the valuable information gained from vulnerability assessment exercises, the goal of penetration testing is to determine if the protective controls of a given IT system can be bypassed by actively exploiting identified weaknesses. Penetration Testing provides evidence (sometimes to an unbelieving audience) that vulnerabilities indeed are exploitable. It brings a dose of reality and intense focus to the vulnerability assessment.
