Consulting Services

A security audit is a concentrated analysis of the security posture of a network, highlighting security weakness or vulnerabilities that need to be improved. Periodic audits are needed to ensure that, in the midst of frequent changes in the network, the security posture of a network is not weakened. In comparison to physical security, a security audit is like a guard patrolling the entire secured area, checking locks on doors and windows, reporting back any irregularities that may exist, and providing guidance for correction.

Cisco Secure Consulting Services

Cisco Secure Consulting Services (CSCS) offer a comprehensive security audit called "Security Posture Assessment," or SPA. Cisco SPA teams are comprised of engineers that have a thorough background in critical information-protection operations in military and commercial environments and have been trusted by Fortune 1000 clients. Cisco SPA consists of:

• A comprehensive external Internet analysis to view the network from the perspective of an external hacker.

• A "war dial" of all phone connections in an enterprise to search for unauthorized modems.

• A complete internal network assessment to view the security of the network from the perspective of a disgruntled employee or hostile contractor.

Lauded in Fortune and Network Computing magazines, these assessments conclude with a comprehensive report and client presentation, with operational-level recommendations to better secure the corporate network and help it to reach its full business potential.
