I N F O R M A T I O N S E C U R I T Y T R A I N I N G Virtually all Information Security Standards and Regulations require both information security awareness and information security training targeted at all users (including managers, senior executives, and contractors) on an on-going basis. Learning is a continuum it starts with awareness, builds to training, and evolves into education. (NIST Special Publication 800-16 Revision 1) BorderHawk has developed a Web based Information Security tutoring solution. Our approach delivers two options for our clients: 1) Generic (ISO1799/27001) Information Security Awareness and Training modules or 2) Customized (branded if desired) Information Security Awareness and Training modules based on specific corporate or regulatory requirements unique to the client or line of business, such as HIPAA, FISMA, NERC CIP, CJIS, IRS Pub 1075, Red Flags, etc. In either case, our training is designed to provide a convenient and cost-effective approach to Information Security Awareness and Training. Most organizations have either adopted or are moving toward a remote or off-site business model. Consequently, the opportunity to conduct collective information security awareness or training sessions has become a challenge. Our solution provides a web based series of awareness and training modules that can be accessed via the Internet anywhere, anytime. The student simply logs in using a credit card, selects a module and follows on-screen prompts through the module. When the module has been completed with a passing score, an email is generated by our system informing your Human Resources organization that successful Information Security Awareness or Training has been accomplished by the student.

C Y B E R S E C U R I T Y T E S T I N G BorderHawk Cyber Security Testing is a hands on effort in which Test Operators attempt to circumvent security features of a system or network based on their understanding of the technical design and implementation. The purpose of a penetration test is to identify methods for gaining access to a system or network by using common attacker tools and techniques. Accordingly, in order to conduct a penetration test, the operator must first conduct a vulnerability assessment in order to determine exploitable targets. External Network Assessment Targets: Internet facing systems and devices Attack Parameters: May include both automated and manual attacks; Will usually NOT include exploitation of any identified vulnerabilities; Password cracking usually in the scope Restrictions: Attack(s) usually limited to non-business hours Time to Complete: Dependent on target size according to Internet Protocol (IP) addresses Internal Network Assessment Targets: Internal network devices, not limited to domain controllers, infrastructure services (WINS/DHCP/DNS), servers, workstations, printers and network devices Optional: Configuration review of the firewall and internal Attack Parameters: Unobtrusive system vulnerability scans may occur during business hours; Caution: potential for interruption of critical business systems Restrictions: Internal network assessment will be conducted on-site Will not include mainframe systems
May include both automated and manual attacks; but will not usually include exploitation of any identified vulnerabilities; password cracking is usually in the scope Time to Complete: Dependent on target size according to internal Internet Protocol (IP) addresses Wireless Assessment Targets: Organization -Campus -Specific Building -or Facility Attack Parameters: May occur during business hours for unobtrusive scans Rogue wireless device detection; penetration testing, password cracking usually in the scope Restrictions: Wireless security risk assessment usually limited to 802.11 technologies Time to Complete: Dependent on target size according to internal Internet Protocol (IP) addresses Social Engineering Attempt to bypass security controls in order to gain access to sensitive areas or information Targets: Individual - Organization Campus - Specific Building - or Facility Attack Parameters: May include physical access, telephone, and email/phishing Restrictions: Attack may be performed any time Time to Complete: Dependent on target size and client needs Application Pen Test Targets: Web-based production application, Internet facing IP address Attack Parameters: May include both automated and manual attacks May include attempts to gain access through social engineering Restrictions: Will usually not include exploitation of any identified vulnerabilities Password cracking is usually in the scope Will not include a code review Time to Complete: Dependent on target size and client needs I N F O R M A T I O N S Y S T E M S F O R E N S I C S
