Every organization has a mission. In this digital era, as organizations use automated information technology (IT) systems to process their information for better support of their missions, risk management plays a critical role in protecting an organization’s information assets, and therefore its mission, from IT-related risk.
Plannet’s effective risk management process is an important component of a successful IT security program. The principal goal of an organization’s risk management process should be to protect the organization and its ability to perform their mission, not just its IT assets. Therefore, the risk management process should not be treated primarily as a technical function carried out by the IT experts who operate and manage the IT system, but as an essential management function of the organization.
The primary purpose of our security vulnerability assessment is to determine the existence of security weaknesses in the intended environment and measure the amount of associated risk with each identified finding. Measurement of associated risk should be based upon the analysis of the identified information, the information security industry and how the risk associates with the affected organization. The evaluator should be familiar in most cases with the details of the assessed organizations industry.
Our current networked world is interconnected through public and private networks which are continuously broadcasting and exchanging both trivial and confidential data.
Electronic information in many scenarios is the most important asset of these interconnected organizations. Protecting this sensitive information from those with malicious intent is a crucial element in the world of information technology administration. Information security is a dedicated and evolving industry focused on providing environments with the highest level of data safety and privacy.
In order to accurately assess the level of risk associated with interconnected networks, we must investigate the environment from the viewpoint of the attacker.
Our Process
A vulnerability assessment is the process of testing a device or system for the presence of security threats by simulating the methods of an actual hacker. Most assessments perform more than 2,800 individual security tests on each target device or host. These tests are developed by participating industry security professionals who are highly knowledgeable and expertly skilled. Test results are processed and filtered into an assessment report, which provides details on the type of risk discovered and the appropriate remediation actions.
