AVIT Security Scan
Typical Price: $750 - $1050

IT professionals face a difficult battle in ensuring their network's security. To win, they must find and eliminate every vulnerability in their network: if they miss one, attackers will eventually find it, and leverage it to undermine the entire network.

AVIT Security Scan is designed to enable IT to win this battle. An expert analyst from AVIT will carefully scrutinize your network, identifying vulnerabilities, one by one. He'll issue a detailed report, documenting the weaknesses and instructing how to fix them. And, as your point of contact, he'll walk you through the process of implementing his recommendations and ensuring your network's security.

More Than an Automated Vulnerability Scan

AVIT Security Scan is a complete security process – assessment, reporting, recommendations, and implementation – not a mere automated vulnerability scan.

Services performing automated vulnerability scans have become ubiquitous. These services, which provide customers with a report generated automatically by vulnerability scanning software, simply do not enable IT to ensure security. These computer generated reports lack accuracy (false positives and negatives abound), and present massive amounts of data in an unstructured and confusing way. What's more, after the report is issued, the service provides no one to explain it.

In order to facilitate security, IT must be provided with an accurate, complete, and clear report, and be guided through the security process. AVIT has developed a package, implemented from start to finish by a skilled analyst, designed to do exactly this. Our process consists of:

More than just an audit, AVIT Security Scan is a complete security process.

 Network Assessment
Typical Price: $6000 - $10000

We scrutinize every component of your network for its security ramifications and vulnerabilities. What's more, we will demonstrate the real world susceptibility to attack through penetration testing. We'll produce a detailed report, showing were your weaknesses lie, and how to correct them. Please contact us for more information.
 

Penetration Testing

Penetration testing is a key component of our network assessment service. It demonstrates a system's real world susceptibility to attack, and provides a model for risk management.

Firewall Testing
Typical Price: $1100

Our comprehensive firewall testing procedure analyzes:

Coverage & Configuration - Is the firewall set up to allow only desired traffic, and nothing else?
Resistance to Subversion - Can an attacker subvert it, sneaking malicious traffic past it?
Upkeep - Is it maintained properly? Is it immune to newly discovered vulnerabilities?
Administrative Access - Is the administrative interface secured (via authentication and encryption) from an attacker?
Information Leakage - Does the firewall reveal sensitive information about itself or its network?
For a detailed description of AVIT's testing methodology, please see AVIT Firewall Testing Methodology.

Is Your Firewall Doing Its Job?
Simply put, most firewalls are not doing their job.

"If you audit the firewall of a big corporation, you find that five people have worked on the configuration over three years and two versions; it has thousands of objects and hundreds of rules, and nobody knows what the beast is doing any more..."

These words, spoken candidly by a security researcher at Bell Labs, relate a sad truth: configuring a production firewall to effectively keep out attackers is an elusive task. Skilled attackers will try technique after technique, until finding a hole that lets them in. Administrators, unable to keep up with the ever changing hacker methods, often do not realize that their firewall is leaking... at least, until the hackers show them.

Conventional Scanning Can Miss Weaknesses
Many security professionals limit their firewall testing to a conventional "port scan" - an automated scan that enumerates the network channels, or "ports," that the firewall permits into the network. While port scanning provides an excellent overview, it does not address basic questions, such as:
Are there any backdoors in the firewall through which malicious traffic can pass?
Can an attacker disguise traffic to appear to the firewall as a permitted type of traffic?
Is the firewall itself vulnerable to direct attack?
Does it leak information?
Leaving these questions unanswered, port scanning alone cannot ensure the firewall's effectiveness and security.
How Does AVIT's Testing Ensure Rigorous Security?
AVIT's testing battery answers these vital questions. We rigorously scrutinize the five major areas of firewall vulnerabilities. We ensure that your firewall effectively keeps attackers out, in a manner conforming with the ICSA Lab Firewall Standards (an independent set of criteria for firewall potency).
 

Our penetration testing is fully guaranteed: if we are unable to demonstrate how your system can be compromised, we'll refund you the full price.
