Network Infrastructure Security Audit

Network Security Audit comprises the reviews of security principles, network solutions, traffic flows, and security solutions. It helps an organization decide the steps that need to be followed to prepare the company and its network infrastructure.

Preliminary meetings are conducted with key stakeholders to make sure there is a complete understanding of the organization’s infrastructure.

During the network security audit:

• Identifying potential areas that are vulnerable to data compromise and disclosure
• Checking of problems and vulnerabilities of employees, partners, and stakeholders
• Documentation of weaknesses and issues within the company’s IT infrastructure
• Assessment of internal network to determine it interacts with outside parties
• Investigation of Internal network weaknesses
• Review of all wireless nets, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, RFID and rogue devices
• Awareness in employees about social engineering attacks

Krash Consulting uses a variety of public domain and proprietary tools to assess network infrastructure. Unlike mere vulnerability scanning software, we analyze existing vulnerabilities and find potentially hidden attack paths to other systems.

Examples of what we assess include but not limited to:

• Improperly configured firewalls, routers, and switches
• Insecure domain controllers and directory services
• Web server exploits
• Incorrectly configured database servers
• Weak authentication mechanisms
• Inconsistent configurations and patch management
• Validation of high-severity results through manual verification process

This process benefits you by eliminating false positives, which is often impossible to accomplish with scans done by only relying on automated security scanning tools.
