Cyber crime is on the rise, and the costs of experiencing a cyber attack are now higher than ever. After all, modern companies are hugely reliant on their IT systems and continued access to data, meaning cyber attacks can cause business downtime. Additionally, there can also be PR damage if customer data is compromised. At Fifosys, we use various techniques to help our clients build their defences against cyber security threats.

Security Audit

We can work with you to carry out a complete internal security audit, examining your current IT infrastructure, technologies, systems and processes, and identifying any issues needing addressing. From there, we will work with you to create an action plan that will allow you to address these problems, in line with your strategic goals. The purpose of a security audit is to establish is a future proof plan and roadmap, so that you understand where you are now, where you want to be, and how we can help you get there.

Penetration Testing

During a Penetration Test, we mimic the activities of malicious hackers and, in turn, can help you to identify your weaknesses. We test the strength of existing IT security systems, challenge the effectiveness of IT security policies and verify compliance with industry security standards to reveal the real strengths and weaknesses of your IT security infrastructure. Our penetration test service comes with clear reports full of practical recommendations to help you address previously unknown vulnerabilities.

The service includes the following:

• A thorough approach comprising of external penetration testing against all sites and provided subnets

• Practical suggestions for improvements to existing security products and services, such as patching known vendor or service vulnerabilities and activating additional security controls

• Recommendations for extra IT security products and services, if appropriate, with business justifications

Insight into possible attack methods and behaviours, which are used in security monitoring systems to help detect intrusions quicker.

What will a Penetration Test identify?

To conduct the test, we use various tools to check for vulnerabilities, exploit any found vulnerabilities, scan ports and test access. The report will classify issues discovered in one of the following five severities:
