Protect Yourself From Hackers & Intruders!
Information Security Assessments and Penetration Tests are an important part of an effective cyber-security strategy because they provide the opportunity to discover and address potentially critical vulnerabilities throughout the network. We ensure security assessments and tests are conducted periodically and findings addressed promptly.
Vulnerability Assessments & Penetration Testing
Once we understand your current situation and challenges, we may recommend any or all of the following services:
VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENTS
Non-intrusive scans of your public-facing infrastructure and/or internal servers to discover vulnerabilities.
PATCH AUDITS
Scans of servers, desktops, and laptops to discover operating system and application software that may require updates
PENETRATION TESTING
Ethical hacking of your network and facilities using aggressive tactics similar to those that real attackers use
CYBER SECURITY RISK ASSESSMENT
A comprehensive review of your facilities, operations, policies, hardware, and software to discover weaknesses and to prioritize cyber-security efforts.
Partnering with GRIP I.T. to test your network is a proactive effort to protecting your network and business from risks before attacks or security breaches occur
Intelligently contain and remove any vulnerabilities

A Few Questions?
Security breaches and any related interruptions in the performance of services or applications, can result in direct financial losses, threaten organizations’ reputations, erode customer loyalties, attract negative press, and trigger significant fines and penalties.
Traditionally, organizations have sought to prevent breaches by installing and maintaining layers of defensive security mechanisms, including user access controls, cryptography, IPS, IDS and firewalls.
However, continued adoption of new technologies, including some of these security systems, has made it even harder to find and eliminate all of an organizations’ vulnerabilities and protect against many types of potential security incidents.
Pen-testing evaluates an organization’s ability to protect its networks, applications, endpoints and users from external or internal attempts to circumvent its security controls to gain unauthorized or privileged access to protected assets.
Penetration testing should be performed on a regular basis to ensure more consistent IT and network security management. A pen-tester will reveal how newly discovered threats or emerging vulnerabilities may potentially be assailed by attackers. In addition to regularly scheduled analysis and assessments required by regulatory mandates, tests should also be run whenever:
- New network infrastructure or applications are added
- Significant upgrades or modifications are applied to infrastructure or applications
- New office locations are established
- Security patches are applied
- End user policies are modified
