Organizations rely increasingly on information technology to support their rapid growth and expansion into the global marketplace.  Technologies such as the Internet, extranets, and intranets are allowing companies to reach people and markets in a way never before imagined. However, with all of the benefits that technology brings to an enterprise, it also brings increased vulnerabilities and threats.  Many companies are faced with a growing concern over the impact of disgruntled employees, hackers, unauthorized users, industrial spies, and mischievous employees exploiting and compromising their information systems and networks. Because of the very nature of an open environment, the corporate risk of revenue and information loss is greater. As technology becomes more sophisticated, so do those who would like to enter the world of information and wreak havoc; not just hackers and embezzlers, but legitimate users who wander into areas of the business that they shouldn't be able to access.  (See Taking Advantage of System Vulnerabilities.) 

Network Partners, Inc. believes good security management is "balancing the cost of security measures against the level of exposure the client is willing to accept". NPI will:

  1. Assess vulnerability where critical information resides

  2. Protect information from outsiders and hackers

  3. Enable access without compromising the security of information

  4. Establish cost effective Management of the enterprise from a central location

Unlike the majority of security firms in the US, NPI's personnel have the extensive networking experience necessary to detect and document the very communications paths needed by hackers and intruders to compromise corporate-owned data. Our experience with sophisticated detection tools such as Sniffers, Nessus, NetSpector, Route Monitor, Snort and others allow our personnel to quickly identify the actual logical network configuration, the potential entry points required to access data, and the status of current services packs and hotfixes. When combined with our experience implementing Firewalls and other security mechanisms, NPI's ability to assess vulnerabilities and protect information exceeds the capabilities of most security consultants. 

Network Partners' security services can assist an enterprise through all aspects of network security.  Our personnel will guide the enterprise through the challenging process of evaluating and assessing the organizations security vulnerabilities while maintaining the balance between cost and an acceptable level of exposure. (see Why do vulnerability assessments?)

The following are examples of typical vulnerabilities identified during NPI's vulnerability assessments.
