Hackers focus on overcoming a firm's security controls while security and compliance teams measure security in terms of adherence to formal compliance certifications.
Equifax, Target, SecurePay, Sally Beauty, FedEx, Staples, Dairy Queen, KMart and many other enterprises had data and systems breaches, despite their certifications of compliance with a security standard, having 24/7 professional teams focused on maintaining their security and compliance status.
SilentCitadel Penetration Testing Services™ provides clients with the ability to gauge their cyber defenses from the perspective of a malicious attacker. "The best defense is a good offense."
Penetration Testing
A penetration test is an attempt to evaluate the strength of your firm's IT infrastructure and website security from the perspective of a potential malicious hacker.
Web Application Security
We help our clients with operational resources to identify, classify, remedy and mitigate application and network vulnerabilities.
Phishing Assessment
We help our clients test their staff's susceptibility to phishing attacks and the net effect the breach would have on the firm's bottom line.
Employee Education
Raising employee awareness through cybersecurity training is the best step any employer can take to help increase their firm's cyber posture.
The foundation for a solid cyber security program is not sexy and sophisticated. It is the mundane tasks and vulnerabilities that have not been addressed or fixed that hackers will use to compromise a system or website. Personnel that "sweat the small stuff" and are empowered are the first, last and best line of defense against hackers.
