PC Security Checks
With our new Security Checks, at just £45 per PC, we will highlight areas of your organisation that could be vunerable to potential hacker and virus attack, and fix them.
We will check the top ten vunerabilities (as highlighted by the SANS Institute and the FBI), and issue updates in the event we find a security problem. We will offer advice on proper passwording of your systems, and ways that hackers could gain access to your vital and confidential data.
Background
- The majority of the successful attacks on operating systems come from only a few software vulnerabilities
- Attackers are opportunistic, take the easiest and most convenient route, and exploit the best-known flaws with the most effective and widely available attack tools
- Attackers are opportunistic, take the easiest and most convenient route, and exploit the best-known flaws with the most effective and widely available attack tools
- System compromises in the Solar Sunrise Pentagon hacking incident, for example, and the easy and rapid spread of the Code Red and NIMDA worms can be traced to exploitation of unpatched vulnerabilities
Top Vulnerabilities to Windows Systems:
- Internet Information Services (IIS)
- Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) -- Remote Data Services
- Microsoft SQL Server
- NETBIOS -- Unprotected Windows Networking Shares
- Anonymous Logon -- Null Sessions
- LAN Manager Authentication -- Weak LM Hashing
- General Windows Authentication -- Accounts with No Passwords or Weak Passwords
- Internet Explorer
- Remote Registry Access
- Windows Scripting Host
What kind of threats do these pose?
If left unchecked such exploits could allow:
- Someone to view documents across your network that should otherwise remain private
- Web Sites to be brought down (through a Denial Of Service attack or DoS)
- Commands to be run by someone outside the office as if they were sitting at one of the computers within it
- Viruses such as SirCam and Nimda to roam free, and infect other companies through your machines
- A hacker to eavesdrop, and pick up password from your network traffic to unencrypt and use
- A hacker to completely take over someone elses system
