Altius IT Blog: Security Audits

Security is an on-going process and leading organizations are taking a subscription approach to security audits. With new vulnerabilities discovered on a daily basis, a system that is secure one day may be completely wide open the next.

Not every security risk is created equal. Some risks have a greater impact than others. In addition, some threats are more likely to occur than others. Security assessments help organizations allocate their budget to the areas that reduce risks.

Much like regular anti-virus updates, subscribing to recurring security assessments helps your organization identify weaknesses before they can be exploited. Security assessments provide specific knowledge about your system, allowing you to more effectively allocate your security budget.

Don’t wait for an unwanted intruder to discover your network vulnerabilities. Annual comprehensive security audits help:

Identify risks or vulnerabilities before they can be exploited
Reduce your costs by cost effectively allocating your security budget to the most important areas
Ensure security is considered during all phases of business activities

Periodic audits help organizations identify, manage, and reduce their on-going security risks:

On-site network security audit - reviews your IT systems configurations, people and how they use your systems, and your policies and procedures
External network security audit - uses penetration tests to review network entry points and public IP addresses to find vulnerabilities that allow hackers access to your systems
Website security audit - identifies vulnerabilities that allow hackers into your website, databases, and interfaces to your internal network
Mobile security audit - evaluates risks to mobile software applications, interfaces to databases, and server configurations
Social engineering security assessment - evaluates the effectiveness of your staff security education and awareness training
