Secure Configuration Assessment

Assess the configuration parameters of your Routers/Switches

CREST Approved Secure Configuration Assessment

Assessing risks that are prevalent within the systems and network of an organization is crucial. This is exactly when a secure configuration assessment is performed. The assessment provides a comprehensive analysis of potential vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in systems and applications.

As a CREST Approved organization, VISTA InfoSec ensures that our Secure Configuration Assessment services meet the highest industry standards, offering thorough evaluations to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in your systems and networks.

It is an audit that helps identify vulnerabilities and helps in building a defense against sophisticated and targeted attacks where hackers gain access to privileged systems and data. A secure configuration assessment checks every network and systems configuration and setup parameters for vulnerabilities that a hacker may exploit to gain access. This could include scanning operating systems, networks, and databases. The assessment gives you an insight into your current security posture and also provides a complete overview of access controls, services, and applications running on critical systems, and identifies missing security patches.

    The process includes interviewing key IT personnel, gathering data, performing advanced scans across operating systems, networks, and databases, prioritizing assets based on criticality, reviewing access controls, and providing remediation steps.

    It covers operating systems (Windows, Linux, Unix), network devices (routers, switches), firewalls, web and database servers, and security tools like WAF, IPS, SIEM, MDM, and PIM.

    Depending on the risk level, findings should typically be resolved within one week to three months to reduce exposure.

    It identifies configuration flaws, strengthens system security, enhances reliability, improves visibility, and helps maintain compliance through better controls and auditing.
