Network solution helps companies avoid downsizing into a security breach
VANCOUVER, CANADA – December 8, 2008 – A
new IT-security packaged service, Devfense DNA, helps organizations
identify their network assets and how their IT infrastructure is
connected. This is the latest security offering from the Boonbox
division of Pacific Coast Information Systems Ltd.
“Computer
networks still face considerable security threats both from inside and
outside the network,” says Pacific Coast Information Systems Ltd.
President Vaclav Vincalek. “But before companies can begin to
proactively assess and improve their network security, they must be
able to identify their network assets and understand how people are
connecting to it.”
“With the economic downturn and downsizing happening across many industries, companies may soon realize that the key people who understood their network are no longer working for them. If you don’t have a clear understanding of your network, there is great potential for a security breach."
Devfense DNA combines award-winning tools, network expertise and proven methodology to:
* Perform an onsite inspection of your facilities and IT environment.
* Discover and assess the condition of your network assets
* Identify and addresses potential network-based vulnerabilities due to
equipment wear, poor hardware configuration or
patch-management deficiencies
* Provide a report and network diagram
“Identifying your network assets is the first step for attaining network security,” Vincalek says. After that step is taken, organizations can move forward with a proactive security-focused network security assessment, to get a roadmap of network security improvements.”
Getting better security involves a persistent process of improvements and organizations won’t get there overnight, Vincalek says. “But if they do want to protect themselves and their customers, they need to start with that first step.”
Devfense
DNA is the latest product in the Devfense line of security offerings.
Boonbox released Devfense NSA (Network Security Assessment) and
Devfense WSA (Web Security Assessment) in 2008, to help organizations
identify and fix vulnerabilities in their network and web applications.
