DNS Security Review
The Internet’s Domain Name System provides an easy way for humans to interact with computers by replacing awkward IP addresses with easy to remember names. However, improper naming or publishing of DNS information can actually lead to a compromise in security. Our team will review your published DNS information to ensure that only the minimum amount of information is published with as few discernable aspects that could be used by a hacker.
Server/System Vulnerability Assessments
Without a team of security experts and library of up-to-date tools, it’s almost impossible for a company to offer the types of tests and analysis that SlingStoneIT offers. Using multiple, up-to-date vulnerability scanning tools, our team will assess all critical business systems throughout your network (both LAN and WAN) on a periodic basis.
Security Alert Bulletin for IT Staff
In addition to general security awareness and training, there are often security “risks of the moment”. It is important that all IT staff, and possibly end users, be notified of precautions to protect themselves and the company’s systems. Our team will provide a brief security bulletin to IT staff when critical security issues are at hand, summarizing the threat and what can be done to mitigate the risk.
Security/Risk Process Review Meetings
Attend risk assessment meetings, review new projects for proper risk classification, assist with risk identification of new acquisitions, etc.
Patch Management Review
With constant software updates to operating systems and databases, it is difficult to determine which patches should be implemented (or even considered) versus which ones are not critical. Our team will perform a review to determine what patches, if any, should be considered for critical systems.
