Security Consultancy Services
Introduction
In the past nine years IT Matrix Ltd. is focused in Information Security Services and in partnership with leading Information Security Consulting firms, has executed numerous Information Security projects of Risk Assessment, Application security review, Penetration Testing, InfoSec policy & procedure, ISO27001 certification, Security Architecture review etc. IT Matrix Ltd. proposed solutions and services are based on thorough understanding and requirement of our client’s business needs and objectives.
IT Matrix has executed over 100+ penetration testing and many security services (Risk Assessments, Security / Configuration Analysis, Systems Hardening, Vulnerability Assessments etc….). These services were delivered by IT Matrix local resource bank and its business partner.
Penetration Testing
A Penetration Test models specific threat scenarios against a network and its supported services. IT Matrix’s testing imitates a malicious attacker with a specific goal (e.g., “compromise a host in our DMZ,” “access the corporate database,” or “break in to a custom application”). The Penetration Test provides insight into methods of attack against a network. It is a point-in-time reference. The assessment is performed blind or informed. Informed penetration tests are the most cost effective for short-term engagements.
Application Code Review
Application Code Review helps to find the flaws and initial development mistakes and to improve the quality and security of an application. Issues like buffer overrun/ overflow, backdoors, default passwords, common vulnerabilities, identification and Authentication can be eliminated.
Security Assessment
The Network Vulnerability Assessment provides a thorough understanding of security-related weaknesses and exposures in networks. IT Matrix’s assessment uncovers and resolves known and potential vulnerabilities in operating systems, firewall configurations, and third party applications and services such as web servers, application servers, etc. This service identifies point-in-time network vulnerabilities. The Network Vulnerability Assessment, when combined with architecture-level assessments, forms a vital part of a plan to ensure network security.
Security Configuration Review / Audit
Configuration Review / Audit is performed using professional analysis tools and interviews with the IT/IS staff members, overall security and configuration gaps are identified by analyzing the gathered information by tools and interviews. As part of this service, we find over privileged accounts, weak-passwords, and excessive permissions on servers, application and network devices and report all the findings with suggestions, recommendation and remedies.
Secure Build
There are many aspects to Information Security, a number of which can be resolved by having one standard secure build for servers, workstations and devices. Not only does this improve security but also significantly reduces maintenance cost, allows the easy regression testing of upgrades and patches on one build, and reduces the introduction of malicious code.
Human error in all forms is a major security risk; from the introduction of unauthorized software to turning off virus scanners, not performing backups of critical data, to leaving machines logged on. All of these are reduced with one secure standard build.
System Hardening
A Host Hardening Assessment reviews the current security configuration of a deployed system and yields information and settings that reflect the best-practice security configuration for a host. This assessment is for systems currently deployed with an unknown or out of date security configuration. This contrasts with a Secure Build Review that yields recommendations for a secure build procedure before deploying a system.
