Penetration testing

"Penetration testing" is the term used for evaluating the security of a computer network by simulating means that might be used by hostile attackers, or "hackers" and "crackers".

Penetration testing isn't simply a matter of finding flaws in Internet-facing mail and web servers. It also involves testing staff and personnel security awareness, fraud and social engineering controls. A full penetration test will operate both inside and outside the network environment.

Penetration testing has the potential to divulge much sensitive information. Do you know how much of your company's data and infrastructure is at risk of exposure or malicious access? This is where penetration testing comes in! Discover and eliminate these problems before someone else does!

I have over 20 years IT experience including years spent as a UNIX (Solaris, AIX, HP/UX, Linux) and Windows (from NT through to 2008) systems administrator.

Please feel free to contact me to discuss performing penetration testing on your infrastructure, both on- and off-site.
