Computer Security in Scotland- if you are a large or small organisation (based in Scotland or the North of England), wishing to improve computer security, then online-edge can help. We explain the risks and recommend sensible and cost-effective solutions, in language that non-experts can understand. In fact, our company philosophy is based on being easy to work with. In short, we talk -
"IT SECURITY in PLAIN LANGUAGE".
Vulnerability Assessment involves looking at your internet-connected systems from externally, and giving a 'hackers-eye view' of your systems. Typically, this would involve checking the border router, firewall and externally available servers (such as Web or Email Servers) and Virtual Private Networking (VPN) systems for setup and configuration errors, as well as examining the patch levels of Windows and other common server software.
Many organisations allow employees remote access to computer systems from home- this CAN provide opportunities for unauthorised access if the remote access setup is improperly configured.
A number of scanning tools are used to assess vulnerability, and report summaries are generated in plain language, suitable for non-experts.
With the widespread adoption of Wireless LAN (WLAN) technologies, this is another area which can also be assessed.
A key point to bear in mind is that the situation is evolving rapidly, with new vulnerabilities and exploits being discovered almost on a daily basis. It is therefore important to carry out assessments on an ongoing and regular basis to minimise any security risks.
