Internal Network Security Audit:

Internal network security is, more often than not, underestimated by administrators. Very often, such security does not even exist, allowing one user to easily access another users machine using well-known exploits, trust relationships and default settings. Most of these attacks require little or no skill, putting the integrity of a network at stake.

Most employees do not need and should not have access to each others machines, administrative functions, network devices and so on. However, because of the amount of flexibility needed for normal operation, internal networks cannot afford maximum security. On the other hand, with no security at all, internal users can be a major threat to many corporate internal networks. A user within the company already has access to many internal resources and does not need to bypass firewalls or other security mechanisms which prevent non-trusted sources, such as Internet users, to access the internal network.

The process begins with securing internal devices on your network. Barricaded auditors identify and thoroughly test potential points of attack after enumerating every live host, open port, and available service. These vectors are often found on loosely-secured internal hosts.Barricaded attempts to identify all vulnerabilities and focuses on areas in which a compromise would have the greatest impact and create the highest risk to your business. We also understand the policies and regulations that drive the need for security, especially for e-commerce and financial services. Our analysis is not disruptive to your organisation, with minimal or no impact on staff and business productivity.
