Incident Response and Malware Analysis

When you suspect you have been breached, knowing exactly how it happened and what was affected can be difficult to discern. Our certified engineers can assist you with the incident response process, ensuring the malware is removed and normal business operations are restored. Moreover, our root-cause analysis will attempt to determine how the breach was possible and steps to take to prevent it from happening again. Moreover, we will evaluate the malware including:

  • Open-source intelligence – We will evaluate the hash and any unique strings in the malware to see if they match known-malware signatures.
  • Reverse-Engineering – Where possible, we will recreate the incident with advanced process monitors and determine the exact malware behavior.
  • Log Analysis – Using the information gathered, we are now able to analyze the logs of affected devices to determine if the breach spread to other machines.
Security Policy Review and Creation

Comprehensive security policies written by security professionals. Our policies are designed to meet your compliance needs while optimizing your business requirements. Some of the policies we can help with include:

  • Access Control Policy
  • Acceptable Use
  • Disaster Recovery Plan

Password Audit

During a password audit, our engineers will evaluate the strength of passwords currently in use in your organization. We will take a dump of your employees’ hashed credentials and run them through a password cracker to identify weak passwords and common usage patterns. This audit can be used to justify stronger password policies, used in security awareness training to improve password choice among employees, and used to help understand the organization’s overall risk if an attacker is able to capture hashed credentials.

Firewall Audit

A firewall audit is a manual inspection of your firewall using the Center for Internet Security (CIS) benchmark and device-specific best practices. In addition, our engineer will review the firewall rules, searching for overly specific rules, proper rule sequencing, or other gaps in your security posture. Finally, the firewall audit will include network scanning to validate its effectiveness.

A host compliance audit involves the manual inspection of a workstation, server, or network device using the Center for Internet Security (CIS) benchmark and device-specific security best practices. This assessment will identify the security holes in your system and provide specific actions to take to harden the device.

Vulnerability Scanning

Vulnerability scanning is a regular, automated process that identifies the potential points of compromise on a network. A vulnerability scan detects and classifies system weaknesses in computers, networks and communications equipment and predicts the effectiveness of countermeasures. Our engineers will conduct this scan for you and use our expertise to remove false positives and produce a risk-prioritized report.

Physical Penetration Test

A physical penetration test is an assessment of the physical security of your premises. Our engineers will attempt to gain access to your facility by identifying weaknesses and/or using social engineering. Once inside, our engineers will attempt to gather sensitive information, gain access to sensitive areas such as the data center, and attempt to gain internal network access.

Social Engineering Assessment

This assessment is designed to target and take advantage of the human-element to gain access to your network. This is done using a variety of methods to get an employee to click on something they shouldn’t, enter their credentials or otherwise provide them when they shouldn’t, or divulge information that may assist an attacker in breaching your network. The goal for the engineer performing this assessment is to gain information that may assist an attacker in future attacks, gather credentials, or gain a foothold on the internal network. This assessment will include:

  • Phone-based attacks
  • Spear phishing attacks
  • Bulk phishing attacks
External Penetration Test

An external penetration test emulates an attacker trying to break into your network from the outside. The goal of the engineer performing this assessment is to breach the perimeter and prove they have internal network access. This test includes:
