GTP - Vulnerability Assessment Service ProviderOur threat & vulnerability assessments gauge the strengths and
weaknesses from every angle to secure your organization
Vulnerability assessment is the process of identifying how vulnerable an infrastructure is to known vulnerabilities—the number one threat to all networks today. The threats/risks found in the vulnerability assessment are ranked and prioritized to expose the current security posture, and to facilitate the remediation process. The first assessment is a baseline snapshot illustrating current threats. The second and subsequent assessments are known as periodic or differential scans, and illustrate trending analysis that answers the question—is our security posture improving over time? Vulnerability Assessment provides you with actionable recommendations. All findings are rated based on risk, probability of exploitation and potential business impact. This allows you to address the issues that matter the most to you. We customize the exploitation and assessment work to your environment and goals. For example, you specify separate instances of critical data that cannot be lost and we attempt to break into the environment and access that data. Our red team can often stealthily break into highly segmented and secure environments and exfiltrate example data.

The Penetration testing process envolves an active analysis of target system for any potential vulnerabilities that could result from poor or improper system configuration, both known and unknown hardware or software flows, operation weakness will process technical counter measures. It is typicall assessment IT infrastructure, network & business application to identify attack vectors, vulnerabilities & control weaknesses. The best way to know how intruders will actually approach your network is to simulate an attack under controlled conditions. Our Penetration Testing Services team delivers network, application, wireless, and social engineering engagements to demonstrate the security level of your organization's key systems and infrastructure. This simulation of real–world attack vectors documents actual risks posed to your company from the perspective of a motivated attacker. The post–assessment analysis presents logical groupings of one or more security issues with common causes and resolutions as a finding, which allows GTP to quantify and prioritize the business risk to an organization. An actionable findings matrix can be used as an overarching workflow plan that can be tracked within the security organization.
Vulnerability assessment is the process of identifying and quantifying security vulnerabilities in an environment. It is an in-depth evaluation of your information security posture, indicating weaknesses as well as providing the appropriate mitigation procedures required to either eliminate those weaknesses or reduce them to an acceptable level of risk. The threats/risks found in the vulnerability assessment are ranked and prioritized to expose the current security posture, and to facilitate the remediation process. The first assessment is a baseline snapshot illustrating current threats. The second and subsequent assessments are known as periodic or differential scans, and illustrate trending analysis that answers the question—is our security posture improving over time? It is important to understand that vulnerabilities exist across most systems and devices throughout the network. Typical assessments include targets that consist of network devices, operating systems, desktop applications, databases, Web applications, printers and almost any device that is attached to the network. Many organizations have specific assessment requirements. GTP is the source of maintaining security updates as per the Vulnerability Service.

PCI ASV Vulnerability Assessments brings an organizations knowledge of its vulnerabilities from “unknown” to “known.” Without knowing what vulnerabilities are present, it is impossible to remediate or mitigate them. Other benefits include the ability to generate a passing network report to be attested to from an approved PCI ASV Vendor and automatically send approved network reports and Self-Assessment Questionnaire to the organizations Acquiring Bank.
Device Interrogation and Configuration Reviews focus on the fundamental protective mechanisms on the network. Understanding what systems have exposures and incorporating the mitigation efforts can help develop a predefined set of security baselines that can easily be applied throughout the entire organization. Ultimately, this provides confidence that each system is protected and existing exposures are known and understood by the organization.We understand how hackers are attacking systems.
Penetration testing is an effective way of ensuring that successful highly targeted client-side attacks against key members of your staff are minimized. Security should be treated with a holistic approach. Companies only assessing the security of their servers run the risk of being targeted with client-side attacks exploiting vulnerabilities in software like web browsers, pdf readers, etc. It is important to ensure that the patch management processes are working properly updating the Operating System and third party applications.
External Attack and Penetration Assessments must be conducted to achieve compliance with a multitude of regulations and standards that industries face, including the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Additionally, these assessments detect weaknesses in a system or network that could allow a compromise. They can also be used to test an organizations external monitoring and Incident Response capabilities. GTP team is comprised of nationally renowned ethical hackers.
Internal Attack & Penetration must be conducted to achieve compliance with a multitude of regulations and standards that industries face, including the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
