Emerging Threats Emphasise Need for Holistic Assessments

The need for more effective information security practices is increasingly evident with each security breach reported in the media. When adopting new technologies like cloud computing, virtualisation, or IT outsourcing, enterprises are facing imminent security threats and must adjust their security processes, policies, and architectures consequently. Among the many options available to help clients to achieve this goal, organisations should consider the value of ethical hacking services, which are rapidly gaining attention as an essential security practice that should be performed on a regular basis.

The major challenge for businesses is the complexity of security requirements due to changing hacking tactics, myriad security vulnerabilities, evolving business practices, new business technologies, and emerging security technologies. Those numerous organisation-specific security challenges are best solved by professionals with extensive expertise.

"The result of such an assessment is an actionable report with valuable remediation advice tailored to the customer's unequalled IT environment, capabilities, and security objectives," says Chris Rodriguez. "This helps businesses to prioritise their security efforts, fine-tune security tools just as firewalls and Intrusion Prevention Systems devices, adjust policies, and identify any necessary training."
