Network security and threat mitigation models are constantly changing as methods of attack evolve and become more sophisticated. As such it is imperative that the web security layer of your network is configured correctly so that valuable data, systems and reputation are not compromised.

A Penetration Test simulates an attack on IT system. During the testing the team attempts to find and exploit vulnerabilities to determine what information and access is able to be gained. This is designed to mimic the actions of an attacker exploiting weaknesses in network security without the usual risks. IT Security Compliance regulations and guidelines (GLBA, NCUA, FFIEC, HIPAA, etc.) require an organization to conduct independent testing of the Information Security Program to identify vulnerabilities that could result in unauthorized disclosure, misuse, alteration or destruction of confidential information, including Non-Public Personal Information (NPPI). We at Municipal Technologies provide these services for the Internet-facing components (website, email servers, etc.) of the organization’s network which are constantly exposed to threats from hackers.

While not all servers are exposed directly to the internet like a web server, chances are that they are on a network that is connected to the internet. Even then you have some protection from firewalls and routers to stop internet traffic from getting into the server. However what protection is there from your internet facing server getting taken over by an outside attacker and launching attacks on your other servers?

The answer is server hardening, the processes of securing your servers to the maximum level possible. We can perform an analysis on your servers to find the common and not so common weaknesses in its configuration, and software. Municipal Technologies specializes in Microsoft Windows operating systems, we can quickly and accurately find the most common vulnerabilities your Windows system has. We can also secure other operating systems such as Linux.
