Security analysis

As traditional IT infrastructures evolve to include smart devices, cloud enabled devices and other 3rd party managed devices, securing the IT infrastructure becomes more challenging. Devices that are outside of the business IT policies may not be updated with the latest security patches, something that may go unnoticed for some time. In addition to this some devices may contain default login credentials, hidden login accounts and security tokens. NGTS have the skills and experience to provide a detailed examination of these devices to provide a security profile that can be used to form a risk rating of any potential vulnerabilities.

Smart devices

The corporate IT infrastructure is now used to provide network connectivity for a wide variety of ‘smart’ devices (IP security cameras, public address systems, display boards, etc). Such devices should be examined to ascertain any potential risks.

Cloud enabled devices

Cloud enabled devices are typically centrally managed and configured from an Internet hosted service. Traffic from such devices should be restricted and monitored.

3rd party connectivity

Out sourcing of services to 3rd party providers usually requires external connectivity between corporate networks, normally via a VPN or other secure connection. To maintain security this connectivity should be restricted and monitored.
