Vulnerability Assessment Services Overview
Sunera’s vulnerability assessment service provides customers with an assessment of the overall security of an organization’s systems and provides a valuable baseline for determining appropriate safeguards. Periodic assessments are a requirement of many compliance initiatives and verify that new system implementations and changes to existing systems have not introduced new, unmitigated vulnerabilities to the organization.
Vulnerability Assessment Methodology
A Vulnerability Assessment intends to discover, using both automated and manual techniques, vulnerabilities susceptible to known exploits that pose varying levels of risk to the organization. In order to produce accurate results and measurable metrics, all of Sunera's security professionals follow the industry standard Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual (OSSTMM).
Sunera's standard process ensures that the latest vulnerability signatures are used at the beginning of every assessment. Current and past threats, such as missing security service packs, buffer/heap overflows, local and remotely exploitable vulnerabilities, default accounts, backdoors and trojans, conditions leading to denial of service attacks, the presence of rootkits or network hacking tools, and firmware vulnerabilities for networked devices are included for several diverse platforms such as HPUX, AIX, Windows, various Linux derivatives, Macintosh, Netware, Solaris and multiple network device vendors.
For all information security assessment services, Sunera will identify vulnerabilities, threats and risks, provide recommendations, and assist in vulnerability remediation.
