Technology has transformed the way we do business, effectively increasing professional advantage and internal efficiencies. It is because of this, that it has become an integral part of any organisation, however this increased sharing of essential information creates a number of vulnerabilities for businesses.

Such exposure has led to the meteoric rise of security solutions designed to protect all aspects of a network. In spite of increased network security, organisations are still being affected by hackers, worms and thieves and this can be attributed to two fundamental reasons;

• Network security has not been implemented correctly
• New vulnerabilities bypass the solutions you have in place

Security violations can cost your organisation financially and in loss of customer confidence, which can make or break an organisation of any size. That is why it is recommended that IT departments carry out regular assessments of their network infrastructure to reduce the possibility of such breaches. Onyx Group understand that implementation of such assessments can be difficult and time consuming. To combat this we have created a suite of 'safe and Secure' vulnerability testing services to cater to your requirements.

Safe and Secure Benefits

Reduce Costs - Ensure the procedures you have in place are protecting your network as they should, so you can get full value from your investments. Determine Risk - Discover the threats to your organisation’s network so that you can identify vulnerability and provide appropriate measures to protect against it. Offer Assurance - Continual assessment of your security will not only provide internal confidence but can also be used as evidence to external bodies, i.e. you may receive reductions (up to 20%) in Professional Indemnity Insurance if you can prove assessment of your security. Industry Certification - Vulnerability management procedures can help you achieve industry regulations such as BS7799 and ISO27001. Compliance and Due Diligence - Penetration testing can help you meet the requirements of industry and legal regulations and in turn facilitate best use of resources.

Safe and Secure Solutions

Our scans provide unsurpassed coverage of network devices, operating systems, databases and servers. Developed using Artificial Intelligence technology they actively simulate network attacks using the same techniques that are utilised to exploit your systems.

We can offer a number of different tests, developed to suit the needs of differing organisations with all results delivered comprehensively in a report, to Executive, Management and Technical audiences. These tests include:

Safe and Secure Standard

This complete assessment of your entire IP range provides an in-depth analysis of network services, live hosts and open ports and identifies potential vulnerabilities. A comprehensive report is generated providing precise details of the identified vulnerabilities and recommendations of remediation action that should be taken.

Safe and Secure Lite

This entry-level assessment identifies live hosts and the open ports on those hosts which attackers can target. A report will be provided detailing all of the findings from this service.

What Next?

Attacks are growing at an alarming rate with banks and governments no longer the only targets. The advent of sophisticated, automated exploitation tools and ‘point-and-click’ hacking, anyone with a network connection is potentially vulnerable.

Vulnerability testing is an investment that delivers a measurable long-term benefit and protection to threats. However, this benefit goes beyond the immediate problem of breach avoidance and information loss. As well as thoroughly testing network components and infrastructure it ensures that they are configured for best performance.
