Common Questions
What is network penetration testing?
Network penetration testing performs a rigorous security audit of IP-enabled
devices on a network. The process begins with reconnaissance at which time your
network will be scanned for devices and services. All discovered services will
then undergo a basic vulnerability assessment that will check for any known
weaknesses. This information is then compiled, analyzed, and probed further by
an experienced WSI professional to determine potential points of weakness in
systems and networks. Once these points are determined, network-based attacks
are mounted in an attempt to bypass network security measures and compromise
systems. All compromised systems will be analyzed for sensitive data or
exposure to further network attacks. Clients will receive professional reports
on general discovery, points of vulnerability, technical details,
recommendations, and verbose technical reports.

What network penetration testing packages does WSI use?
Zero-Based: The Zero-Based penetration test gives the best perspective of
what a hacker may discover about your network. The goal of Zero-Based testing
is to discover as much information as possible about an organization's network.
The process includes searching through public repositories of information,
gleaming technical information about the organization, and using all gathered
information to mount an Internet-based digital attack. The Zero-Based approach
gives a realistic view of what type of information about your organization is
publicly available and how it may be used by a hacker. Zero-Based testing is
typically coupled with a full External-Based penetration test.
External-Based: The External-Based penetration test is used to test the
security of your network perimeter. This presents a real-world scenario where
penetration testers come in from the Internet in an attempt to circumvent
security measures and gain access to your internal network. External-Based
testing will put your security measures to the test in an attempt to uncover
weaknesses in network defense.
Internal-Based: The Internal-Based penetration test takes on the
perspective of an internal user on your network. Many networks are designed to
have a secure network perimeter, but lack internal controls. This is a serious
concern as the highest impact security incidents typically performed from
individuals within an organization. An Internal-Based test aids in the
discovery of internal network weaknesses and will aid in deterring the risk of
insider incidents.

Physical Security: Computer security is not limited to the security of
your network. Physical security plays a large role in the overall protection of
your digital assets. Physical security can be analyzed and tested in addition
to the typical network penetration test.
Social Engineering: Even the tightest network security can't protect
your digital assets from the weakest link: people. The employees in your
organization may willingly give away sensitive information without knowing the
consequences of their actions. Social engineering will attempt to gain
unauthorized information from individuals and test your organization's security
awareness.
Wireless Network: Networks are no longer limited to the physical wires
within the confines of your walls. Wireless networks have opened up the
potential for hackers to infiltrate your internal network from hundreds of feet
away. An assessment of your wireless network is an important step in ensuring a
due diligence approach to securing your internal network.
Modem Sweep: Right when you think your entire network has been secured
top to bottom, hackers find another way into your systems. Any modem attached
to a computer in your building may offer a simple, but effective back door for
a hacker. Believe it or not, many hackers still gain full access to internal
corporate networks through insecure modem connections.

I am looking for a less robust review of my network's security, what does WSI
offer?
WSI offers limited external and internal vulnerability assessments. These amount
to a more simplified scan and check for vulnerabilities. This does not include
actually determining what happens if the vulnerability is exploited.
External-Based: An external-based vulnerability assessment tests the
security stature of your network and computer systems from the Internet. A
vulnerability assessment will perform reconnaissance on your network and check
for vulnerabilities and holes in your network and host security. All discovered
vulnerabilities will be checked, analyzed, and reported back in a useful
format.
Internal-Based: The internal-based vulnerability assessment tests the
security of your network from the inside. Internal assessments are important as
many organizations spend their time on perimeter security and leave the
internal network wide open. Internal assessments help discover network and
system vulnerabilities that may be exploited by hackers, viruses, and
disgruntled employees.
Like the external-based assessment, all
vulnerabilities discovered will be checked, analyzed, and reported back in a
useful format.

My business is not located in Iowa, but I would like to work with WSI to improve
my company's network security, how could you work with me?
Our certified network security consultant is able to work with you and your
staff remotely or make arrangements to be on-site at your facility when needed.
Much of the all important planning and budgeting for a network security
engagement can be conducted from our offices in Iowa. A significant amount of
the actual work also needs to be conducted externally, in the same manner a
hacker would. Through the power of VPN's and video conferencing we are able to
eliminate most of the costly travel associated with bringing in this type of
expert. However, WSI is able to be on site as needed.
