Because a network assessment will only discover hardware and software issues, doesn't address the real issue. Understanding how the network is configured, accessing application licensing and evaluating server specifications are important but an assessment should demonstrate how likely it is that an interruption or breach would occur and the impact this would have on a business.
Just
like a plane crash, the impact of an IT security breach will be high. We
cannot control the impact
but we can reduce the likelihood
that the event would occur in the first place through mandating pilots get
ample rest and frequent inspections of the instruments. Corporations should
use the same rationale to protect - not human life - but their business'
life.
Here are a few important questions to ask yourself.
Sklar Technology provides Complete Risk Assessments. Passwords, firewall's
and virus protection all provide necessary protection but what about detection
and rapid response when protection is not enough or fails to completely
protect? Security is not software, hardware
or a policy; rather, it is a discipline
that proactively protects and detects threats to your network and the data
stored on it. Sklar Technology is a complete security solutions provider
that helps businesses address and act upon this important initial security
step.
