In-House Security Professionals
The challenge:
Staying ahead of evolving threats and juggling security point solutions
As an in-house security professional, you are constantly challenged to stay ahead of the latest threats as your infrastructure grows, as new vulnerabilities are discovered, and as attackers enhance and vary their techniques. While you’ve implemented a bastion of defenses and policies to reduce operational risk, sound security practice goes far beyond the deployment of point solutions. It’s critical for you to regularly assess your collective security mechanisms to determine what’s working, what’s not, and what to do about it.
You’re likely already leveraging scanners, patch management applications, and other tools to help identify potential holes in your defenses. These tools provide a useful start to the security assessment process, but their collective output can be overwhelming and inconclusive -- burdening you with a heavy dose of analysis before IT staff can even begin remediation and other security improvements. What’s more, you’re left with no insight into how disparate, low-level points of exposure can open the door to large-scale, multistaged attacks that threaten your organization’s most sensitive assets.
To stay ahead of threats today you need visibility into your overall security posture. Another step is needed to distill where your critical security weaknesses are and understand how they interrelate to create risk. You need actionable data to assist with remediation efforts. You need to assess your security within the context of real-world threats: via regular penetration testing.
The solution:
Real-world security testing and leading-edge threat expertise
Test your security just as outsiders will
Core Security’s CORE IMPACT Pro commercial-grade security testing solution allows you to view IT risks in the most comprehensive and realistic way available -- by going beyond reactive identification of vulnerabilities to proactive modeling of real-world threats. When you choose CORE IMPACT Pro, you get:
- Comprehensive penetration testing capabilities across a wide range of threat vectors including network systems, endpoint systems, email users and web applications.
- A product that reflects over a decade of professional vulnerability research and commercial-grade exploit development, constantly updated as threats emerge.
- Automation of traditionally mundane tasks that add repeatability and efficiency to the security testing process.
- The ability to “look beneath the hood” and manually fine-tune penetration tests to your specific requirements.
- Safe emulation of multistaged threats testing both your perimeter and internal defenses using privilege escalation and pivoting techniques to drill down to your organization’s most critical assets -- identifying gaps in point solution coverage.
- Actionable data in the form of detailed reporting of risks, including systems targeted, tests conducted, vulnerabilities exploited, and available exposure paths -- plus links to patches and remediation guidance.
CORE IMPACT Pro is an extremely powerful and robust package that allows security professionals to conduct comprehensive, in-depth vulnerability testing.
For larger organizations, it’s also important to consider what happens between testing engagements and across distributed computing environments. Are departmental IT staffers prepared to identify and fix perimeter vulnerabilities that crop up the day after you leave their office?
By equipping your branch offices or remote operations with CORE IMPACT Essential, you can help ensure that they stay on top of frontline network and endpoint vulnerabilities on a regular basis.
A fully automated, one-step testing product, IMPACT Essential can be set to isolate exploitable vulnerabilities on a regular schedule and deliver timely results via email to help IT staffers better prioritize remediation efforts.
Ultimately, Core Security Technologies provides unmatched visibility into real risks that threaten your organization -- allowing you to maintain an unwavering level of security assurance across your diverse IT infrastructure.
Tap into a wealth of threat expertise
When you use CORE IMPACT products for security testing, you get more than just software applications; you get a culmination of ongoing, independent vulnerability research from some of the best minds in the business.
The CoreLabs research team filters hundreds of vulnerabilities per month to determine which pose critical threats to our customers. This analysis, combined the company’s own vulnerability discoveries and the Core Security Consulting group’s field experience, drives the development of real-world threat models by Core Engineering.
These threat models, in the form of exploits and other attack mechanisms, help to make CORE IMPACT the most comprehensive, effective security testing solution available today.
