An Inside Look at InfoSystems' Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing

At InfoSystems Cyber, we provide a comprehensive approach to ensure your organization aligns with industry mandates, understands risks, and validates findings to become more secure than ever. 

In this edition of Power Forward, we'll explore our Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing, giving you an inside look at how we can identify, test, and remediate critical weaknesses, as well as mimic real-world cyber-attacks with outlined guidance for corrections to security controls and response.

InfoSystems' Vulnerability Assessments employ a layered process of automation and manual verification to identify, test, and remediate critical weaknesses.

1. Ensure governing compliance standards are achieved including, but not limited to:

FTC Safeguards Rule 311.4

PCI DSS 11.3.1

PCI DSS 11.3.2

HIIPAA 164.308

2. Identify vulnerabilities through structured scans of the external attack surface and internal security posture.

3. Classify vulnerabilities per severity and exploitability using authorized scanning vendors.

4. Test vulnerabilities through ethical hacking techniques and custom exploits.

5. Assess results to determine critical risks and necessary corrective measures.

InfoSystems' Penetration Tests apply an advanced toolset and manual testing to mimic real-world cyber-attacks with outlined guidance for corrections to security controls and response.

The Importance of Penetration Testing:

1. Ensure governing compliance standards are achieved including, but not limited to:

FTC Safeguards Rule 311.4 d 2 i

PCI DSS 11.4.1

PCI DSS 11.4.2

HIIPAA 164.308

2. Verify findings in Vulnerability Analysis and emulate real-world scenarios through advanced simulation.

3. Deploy multi-staged attack vectors to examine system security and test human susceptibility.

4. Determine impact of system compromise by outlining lateral movement to critical assets and sensitive data.

5. Provide remediation workshops with guidance for appropriate patches, configuration changes, and compensating controls for flawed security tools.

The InfoSystems’ Penetration Re-Test is fundamental to improving security posture. Whether an initial assessment was provided by InfoSystems or an outside party, re-testing provides assurance that existing vulnerabilities have been correctly remediated without the creation of new ones. 

*While a Re-Test is an optional service that can be added to the InfoSystems’ Penetration Test, we advise exploring the value further to build consistent oversight and timely updates. 

Benefits of Penetration Re-Testing

👉 Verify the continuation and effectiveness of remediation steps. 

👉 Identify new vulnerabilities introduced in an environment by way of misconfiguration or patching. 

👉 Validate the accuracy of testing by utilizing a different team, toolset, and methodology. 

👉 Adhere to compliance mandates when critical changes or updates are presented in an environment.
