Security Audits and Assessments On Demand 

The Need
The number of threats to which an organization's digital assets are exposed is growing exponentially. At the same time, enterprise computing networks are larger, more complex and more dynamic than ever. As a result, organizations must proactively manage their information security risks by regularly conducting security audits and assessments. By continuously managing and auditing such risks, organizations can ensure smooth ongoing operations while maintaining critical asset confidentiality, information integrity, and information system and computing environment availability. In addition, such testing enables organizations to understand their level of exposure to various threat sources at any given moment and properly plan their information security budgets.

The Solution
Security on Demand offers a broad range of security audit and assessment services that provide a clear picture of the vulnerability of an organization's IT infrastructure to internal and external threats. Based on iPV Security's market-leading offering, Security on Demand identifies critical business assets, analyzes vulnerabilities, and recommends prioritized methods for closing existing security gaps. By leveraging iPV Security’s holistic assessment methodology, organizations can better allocate and prioritize IT resources, optimize information security budgeting, and decrease exposure to vulnerabilities and subsequent damage.

Tailored to each organization according to its size, number of locations and geographical layout, computing environment complexity, and industry best practices, Security on Demand is based on mapping, planning and continuously auditing digital assets in order to determine:

• Where the assets are located
• Who has access to them
• When are they being accessed
• How well are they being secured

Identifying the weakest links throughout all computing infrastructure levels, Security on Demand services are divided into four layers of audits and assessments that can be conducted on either an individual or holistic basis:

• Business – mapping of processes, assets, threat sources, and regulatory environments 
• Application – website, application and DB vulnerability assessments 
• Network and Infrastructure – internal and external penetration tests, network and security behavior anomaly analysis, firewall audit and analysis, and a range of assessments
• Computing Environment – endpoint audits and social engineering assessments

By assessing an organization's entire IT infrastructure, including devices, without exposing its production environment to risks, Security on Demand represents the first stage in the building of organization-wide security architecture.
