If your office is connected to the internet via business-class ADSL or High Speed Cable access, your service provider generally does not provide any kind of firewall protection. The lack of a properly configured Firewall can lead to unwanted intrusions and potential data loss at the hands of hackers. A comprehensive firewall analysis can be performed that will pinpoint any weaknesses in your current network protection design.

A Firewall Threat Analysis service consists of:
An analysis of current office network protection measures.
Review of applicable known Firewall exploits.
Review of industry "Best Practices" regarding Firewall usage.
Review of corporate security appliances and safeguards.
Audit of current Firewall configuration and security settings.
Internal and External Penetration and Attack Testing.
Printed "after action" report detailing findings.

Security Assessments are generally two or more hours in duration. The procedures are non-intrusive and usually do not require office staff to log-out of their workstations.
