6 Top 10 Techniques #1 Quarterly Security Audits Quarterly Security Audit Components Vulnerability Testing: Vulnerability Analysis is the process of identifying vulnerabilities on a network; provides an overview of the flaws that exist on the system. Saalex uses Rapid Fire Penetration Testing: is an active practice wherein ethical hackers are employed to simulate an attack and test the network and systems resistance; goes on to provide an impact analysis of the flaws identifies the possible impact of the flaw on the underlying network, operating system, database etc. Social Engineering in the context of information security, is understood to mean the art of manipulating people into performing actions or divulging confidential information Kevin Mitnick Reformed computer criminal and later security consultant points out that it is much easier to trick someone into giving a password for a system than to spend the effort to crack into the system. [21] 21 Wikipedia

7 Top 10 Techniques #1 Quarterly Security Audit Quarterly Security Audit - Components Phishing is the act of attempting to acquire information such as usernames, passwords, credit card details (and sometimes, indirectly, money) by masquerading as a trustworthy entity via electronic communications Wi-Fi Testing. We would run tools to find rogue hotspots, honeypots, poorly configured devices, and check for weak encryption. We like Wi-Fi Analyzer Industry Compliance relating to IT Security (e.g. PCI, HIPAA, SSAE 16, CARF) Check for compliance with PCI Standards, looking for security vulnerabilities such as poorly coded web applications, lack of monitoring, insecure services not removed, lack of access controls Physical Security Review - Physical Security of your IT environment like Locked Cabinets, Elevated, Limited Access for servers.

8 Top 10 Techniques #2 Wireless Networks Strong Encryption don t just use WEP; use WPA2 Change Passwords at regular intervals; Centrally Managed access points Guest Network rhythm of changing passwords Strong Passwords

9 Top 10 Techniques #3 Physical Security Physical Security: Locked Cabinet for Servers, Backups, etc. Elevated to prevent damage Limited Access can anyone get in? Controls appoint someone to monitor

10 Top 10 Techniques #4 Encryption and Passwords Encrypt/Strong Password Laptop Encryption Strong Passwords Multiform Authentication Mobile management OTP or Texting Services

11 Top 10 Techniques #5 Centrally Managed Antivirus/Antimalware Centralized managed antivirus and antimalware Update your network seamlessly Auditing, Inventory Identifying threats of infections mitigate spreading Even with this protection, malicious code can still be put on common websites, such as CNN, FOX, MSNBC, etc. exposing employees' web browsers to malicious code unknowingly

12 Top 10 Techniques #6 Next Gen Firewall Why are they different, what can they do better? Next Generation Firewall technologies offer integrated, highperformance protection against today's wide range of advanced threats targeting your applications, data, and users. Stop threats BEFORE they get into your environment!!! Next generation firewall technology with Application Control allows you to identify and control applications on networks and endpoints regardless of port, protocol, and IP address used. Integrated Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) offers a wide range of features that can be used to monitor and block malicious network activity.

13 Top 10 Techniques #6 Next Gen Firewall Next Generation Firewalls will identify the user from a list of names, IP addresses and Active Directory group memberships that it maintains locally. The connection request will be allowed only if the user belongs to one of the permitted user groups, and the assigned firewall policy will be applied to all traffic to and from that user.

14 Top 10 Techniques #7 Audit Logging Audit/Logging understand who had access to your machines and when to have a trail in case the worst happens...
