Digital Security Service

IT systems exposed to the Internet are subject to special threats. They are constantly vulnerable to attack attempts that are usually carried out in an automated and untargeted fashion. Depending on the relevant purpose of usage (i.e. E-business systems), IT environments are characterized by a high dynamic for change. Existing vulnerabilities in such environments can lead to the affected systems appearing on the “radar” of Internet criminals. Depending on the type of system, possible consequences range from website defacement and the misuse of disc space to store illegal data all the way to data theft.

Administrators in this area are therefore placed under high demands. This is especially true in complex IT environments with divided responsibilities. System changes and security deficiencies that need to be resolved must be recognized immediately.

With the digital security service we offer you corresponding vulnerability monitoring and management. Thereby we examine, in defined intervals (weekly to monthly), the current IT environments from the perspective of potential attackers.

Overview

Digital Security Service

Sustainable vulnerability monitoring and management for especially vulnerable IT systems
Action oriented report in order to quickly resolve identified deficiencies
Workload reduction for administration and transparency for IT leaders as well as data security and IT security engineers in relation to the realized security level

The digital security service combines software tools (corresponding to the tools used by the attackers) and the expertise of our auditors. The auditors analyze and evaluate the results of the monitoring in a manual process. In this way, they get a purely action-based report with the following contents:

Identified security deficiencies and exact instructions for resolution
Change of the IT environment in comparison to the respective pre-test (i.e. added systems, services etc.)
In pre-tests identified but not yet resolved security deficiencies

In the monitoring, the following kinds of systems and applications may be included:

Firewalls
VPN gateways
Router
Web server
Mail server
Virus protection / spam gateways
Web applications

The digital security service combines various advantages for your company:

Prompt identification of security deficiencies and system changes
Workload reduction for the administrators in resolving the deficiencies (pure action based report)
Constant transparency for IT leaders as well as data protection and IT security officers in relation to the realized level of security
Control of the service level agreement when outsourcing operated IT systems
