Our Web Security & Hacking Threats include but are not limited to:

• 

  Penetration Tests & PCI Compliance

  A penetration test, occasionally pentest, is a method of evaluating the security of a computer system or network by simulating an attack from malicious outsiders (who do not have an authorized means of accessing the organization\'s systems) and malicious insiders (who have some level of authorized access). The process involves an active analysis of the system for any potential vulnerabilities that could result from poor or improper system configuration, both known and unknown hardware or software flaws, or operational weaknesses in process or technical countermeasures. This analysis is carried out from the position of a potential attacker and can involve active exploitation of security vulnerabilities.
• 

  Security Survalance & Monitoring

  Choosing the right security software for your in-house security surveillance can become a hard decision. We guarantee, fair pricing for you proprietary software with the features you want, from automatic schedules, to heat and motion detection, patrol and movements, alerting and secure remote access. Stored using our simple storage service in the cloud so you can always keep videos for archiving for years to come, without the overwhelming price of other solutions.
• 

  Web Vulneribility Exploit Scanner

  The active scanning of files can help prevent exploitation of an account by malware by deleting or moving suspicious files to quarantine before they become active. It can also prevent the uploading scripts such as PHP and Perl, commonly used to launch more malicious attacks or for sending spam. We will provide software to perform on-demand scanning of files, directories and user accounts for suspected exploits, viruses and suspicious resources (files, directories, symlinks, sockets). You can run scans of existing user data to see if exploits have been uploaded in the past or via methods not covered by the active scanning. It has been tuned for performance and scalability, and regardless of your application security this can be used as a very effective method to secure your application, by active scanning of files on the fly.
• 

  Rootkit Detection & Removal

  We will detect and remove any rootkits that are hidden on your server, using advanced rootkit detection technology. Rootkits can lie hidden on your server and remain undetected by antivirus software.
• 

  Post Attack Security

  The biggest contributor to website hacks today come from insecure code being exploited. With enough time, as new techniques are found, attackers find ways to exploit weaknesses in code. We will help you remove this hackers and their access to your website, clean up any back-doors, rootkits, fix the vulnerability and source of the problem, and set you up with security measures and programs to prevent this from happening in the feature.
• 

  Code Analysis & Risk Assessment

• 

  Mobile Application Security

  Mobile platform OS & Applications are in great need of security and are as vulnerable as the internet when it first came around. The proportion of mobile devices providing open platform functionality is expected to continue to increase in future. The openness of these platforms offers limit-less opportunities. However, with openness comes responsibility and unrestricted access to mobile resources and APIs by applications of unknown or untrusted origin could result in damage to the user, the device, the network or all of these, if not managed by suitable security architectures and network precautions.
•

• 

  Network Assessment

  Your network can be a point of attack or deep concern and with shifting technologies and changing implementations it can be challenging to remain current with the state of information security and risk management.
