Information drives your business & protecting it is essential to your ongoing success. That's why you should consider Amgentech for your security needs. Amgentech uses proven methodology to successfully implement security policy ranging from user education to perimeter security.

Below are several of the services we offer, do not hesitate to contact us for a demonstration.

Penetration Testing

The purposes of Penetration Tests are to fingerprint perimeter systems, network devices and DMZ systems and determine whether those systems are vulnerable to application, system and network attacks, whether those attacks are Denial of Service or Intrusion related. These tests are conducted in agreement with the customer and usually with no involvement of the technology group.

The intention of these tests is to grasp the immediate security profile of a company's systems and networks and provide remediation steps to secure their perimeter.

Vulnerability Assessment

A Vulnerability assessment is done in conjunction with the customer's technology group and its goal is to canvas, identify, prioritize and remediation. Canvassing involves a thorough inventory of all systems and network devices on the identified network. Some customers request these assessments on a portion of a network, but it is advisable to assess the entire technology footprint and not just a segment of it.

Identify involves using the inventory compiled during canvassing to assess the type of systems and devices. This step involves creating network topography charts, inventory of installed software and ports. Prioritize entails determining which systems are most susceptible and prioritizing remediation.

Remediation is the last step and most critical in which the system is patched, services turned off and tested to ensure security and that those services provided by the system are not affected.

Vulnerability tests are in depth and require the commitment of the customer's IT staff. This test is followed by penetration testing to ensure that the vulnerabilities identified have been mitigated.

Network Architecture

This is the first step in properly securing an environment. There are many factors that are not controllable in systems, among them the software that is made available to both internal and external customers, but vulnerabilities in the software can be greatly compartmentalized from other network segments by utilizing proper network architecture techniques. A network that has been properly segmented and build can greatly minimize downtime due to system and network problems as well as protecting other aspects of the business from intrusions. The key is compartmentalization without causing undue hardship on the user base.

Security is never convenient, but it is necessary.

Intrusion Detection

Once a proper security posture has been reached, it is important to install an intrusion detection system to detect potential threats to the network and its systems. Intrusion detection systems can mitigate a great deal of threats by actively monitoring and reporting them for further investigation and action by a security operations center.

Intrusion detection is a crucial step in actively protecting an network environment.
