When was the last time you had an assessment or evaluation completed on the security of your network? Are you aware of any known vulnerabilities on the network and have you applied the correct patches and fixes to prevent these vulnerabilities from being exploited by hackers?
If you are like most business owners in the Dallas area, the answer to those questions is probably “no.” Most business owners don’t think about proactively assessing network security, at least until there is a security breach.
Sometimes business owners assume that their business isn’t a target for hackers. They assume that eCommerce sites and financial types of online transactions are at greater risk. While this is somewhat true, most businesses have a treasure trove of data that hackers are looking for. This can include personal information of clients and customers, medical information, login and password data, and even credit and debit card information.
Proactive Assessments
A free network vulnerability assessment is a benefit to any Dallas business. This is true even with larger companies with their own in-house IT team as it is easy for these teams to overlook known vulnerabilities or let security issues, such as endpoint protection, fall through the cracks.
During a network vulnerability assessment, the network service provider will complete an audit of the system. Your system will be scanned across the entire network, pinpointing areas where there is substandard or limited security in place.
Additionally, these scans will also replicate the actions taken by hackers and Ransomware attacks, which can point out areas of the system that are most likely to be used as penetration points by these types of security breaches.
Finally, a top network vulnerability assessment will also provide information on how to remediate the problems discovered through the scan. This is a proactive way to protect vulnerable areas of your network, dramatically reducing the risk of being hacked or become a Ransomware victim.
