Through a hacker's eyes, your vital network systems may be less secure than you think.
From inside your company, your network security likely appears totally safe and impenetrable. But how does it rate from the point of view of an external attacker? Venture Technologies' External Intrusion Test and Analysis identifies the weaknesses and strengths of your systems and networks as they appear from outside your security perimeter, usually from the Internet. Our goal is to determine both the existence and absence of known vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an external attacker.

Increased support for e-commerce.
The External Intrusion Test and Analysis is a proactive approach that improves the security of your network resources, and helps avoid the significant costs and uncertainties of dealing with external attacks and security breaches. It can also provide solutions for improving or implementing your e-commerce capabilities, giving you increased confidence in your ability to protect valuable data, resources, and reputation.

A complete analysis to give you peace of mind.
Venture and its skilled security-professional partners perform test, analysis, scan and attack procedures from the Internet against contracted client locations. All activities are conducted during times that you specify over a predetermined evaluation period. To achieve our goal, Venture Technologies' security professionals:

• Gather externally accessible configuration information

• Scan client external network gateways to identify services and topology

• Scan client Internet servers for ports and services vulnerable to attack

• Attempt intrusion of vulnerable internal systems

Know your enemy.
Venture Technologies uses an intrusion procedure that mimics the process used by hackers to access your information. It combines state-of-the-art-testing techniques with unique security expertise to provide an independent assessment of your security posture. Our security professionals use a set of evaluation tools — public domain, commercial and "home built" — to gather vulnerability information. Intrusion attempts are then performed using proprietary testing techniques against all known network vulnerabilities. All testing of your Internet connection is conducted from an external site.

Verified results you can count on, and act on.
After testing is complete, we provide an External Intrusion Test and Analysis Report that contains an executive security overview, list of vulnerabilities, recommendations for risk mitigation, and a log of all intrusion data. You'll receive the report in bound hard copy, as well in electronic form on diskette in a Microsoft Word™-compatible format.
