Option A: Network Security Assessment Key activities/deliverables include: Project kick-off call: Introduce the concepts of disaster recovery planning and define the scope of the engagement. External penetration testing: We will conduct a vulnerability assessment and a penetration test to determine what network vulnerabilities exist from outside the firewall. The test identifies those machines that are visible externally, and the specific vulnerabilities that exist for each machine. This test does not exploit vulnerabilities. However, recommendations are provided for each vulnerability identified. Final report: Includes what your network looks like, what vulnerabilities exist, and the steps that should be taken to eliminate these vulnerabilities. Our Network and Security Specialist will review the report in detail with you and will discuss options for resolving specific problems.
