Network Security Assessments

Digital Boundary Group provides independent verification of the operational status of your organization’s network with our internal and external Network Security Assessments. The objective of a Network Security Assessment is to ensure that the necessary security measures are implemented and integrated into your network infrastructure.

Developed for use across any sector, the Network Security Assessment will identify existing vulnerabilities, evaluate internal threats, and determine the extent to which internal users may represent an exploitable vulnerability to your organization’s security. These assessments are an integral part of a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy and play a crucial role in safeguarding an organization's digital assets from unauthorized access, data breaches, and cyberattacks.

Components of Assessment

  • The assessment's scope specifies the range of systems, networks, and assets that will be evaluated. This ensures that the assessment focuses on the most critical areas of the organization's digital ecosystem.

  • We systematically identify and evaluate potential risks including both external threats and internal vulnerabilities. This process involves analyzing network architecture, system configurations, access controls, and data flow.

  • We scan network components and systems for known vulnerabilities such as unpatched software or misconfigured settings. This helps identify areas that may be susceptible to exploitation.

  • Our ethical hackers, also known as penetration testers, attempt to exploit identified vulnerabilities to assess potential impact and verify real-world exploitability. This step provides valuable insights into an attacker's perspective.

  • We assess the adequacy of access controls, authentication mechanisms, and authorization processes to ensure that only authorized users can access sensitive resources.

  • Network traffic is analyzed to detect anomalous or suspicious behavior such as unusual data flows or communication patterns that might indicate a potential breach or compromise.

  • Your incident response plan is reviewed to determine its effectiveness in addressing and mitigating security incidents. This includes assessing your organization's readiness to respond to and recover from cyber incidents.

  • Security policies, procedures, and regulatory compliance requirements are reviewed to ensure alignment with industry standards and best practices.

  • Detailed findings, risk assessments, and recommendations are documented in a comprehensive report. This report serves as a roadmap for improving the organization's security posture and addressing identified vulnerabilities.
