Ignore the Internet and miss the
business opportunity. Use the Internet and other business technologies
and confront real risks. The response to this dilemma is to mitigate
the risks. Polar Cove penetration testing evaluates clients’
business technologies for weaknesses. Testing overall enterprise
security provides a safe, effective way to find out if intruders
can penetrate our clients’ networks. Testing provides the
basis for taking specific steps and reducing risk to acceptable
business levels.
Complexity in technology is the
enemy of security. Yet, business technology is always becoming more
and more complex. Public servers, Internet connections, telecommuters,
desktop applications, network devices, constant code updating, and
other complexities are inevitable. Each offers a new path into trusted
business networks. When intruders find those paths, the results
are countless: public embarrassment, interrupted business, lost
trade secrets, and lost money, to name a few.
Polar Cove penetration testing
minimizes risks, identifying intrusion paths and creating blocking
plans before the paths are found and exploited by unwanted intruders.

-
Analyzing overall security
posture and network.
