Threat & Risk Assessment
Risk assessment is the heart of risk management. Risk management is the process of:
 |
Establishing and maintaining information system security within an organisation. |
|
The identification and management of opportunities and threats. |
Risk assessment provides the means by which risks are identified and assessed in order to justify safeguards, and to protect the system from digital attacks. IT directors should perform a risk assessment every 90 days in order to efficiently protect their systems. Risk analysis is applied in many contexts, such as:
- Assessing the security postures of IT systems,
- Formulating IT security strategy,
- Prioritising the implementation of safeguards,
- Auditing IT systems for compliance with security standards,
- Preparing for imminent attack or disaster,
- Security training and awareness,
- Justifying the cost of safeguards,
- Allocating responsibilities for IT security
Geo-Bureau will quickly and efficiently provide a concise risk / threat assessment for your company. Assessments can be a snapshot of your company in time, or it we offer continuous service where we continuously monitor your environment and test for new risks and threats.
Network Access Control
We can take control and the responsibility of your firewalls by continual monitoring and maintenance.
Penetration Testing
In simple words penetration testing is a process where we try to identify and exploit vulnerabilities before the threat agents will have a chance to do the same. This will allow the Security Administrator to be certain of the behaviour of the system should a threat become a reality. Furthermore, by simulating the actions of a threat agent, we can gain an understanding of the effectiveness of countermeasures. The result of the penetration test will be a report identifying critical vulnerabilities and justifying the need to be countered.
We perform both Black Box and White Box testing. We cooperate with a number of professionals, each an expert in his/her own field, who have diverse knowledge and a wide range of resources that they can tap on. The penetration test report will be based indeed on a very large set of input data.
