Network Assessment Consulting

To meet the constantly changing threat landscape, IT organizations have implemented 'best in class' security technologies. As a result, IT infrastructures have become increasingly complex with differing security platforms, management consoles, rule sets, change management processes and reporting systems. Challenged to keep up with daily business demands and with limited resources to maintain their information security posture, IT staffs struggle to optimize and manage their complex environment while meeting the mandate to reduce operational expense and increase productivity. Without adequate resources and in-depth experience to test for vulnerabilities and determine their impact, organizations can make uninformed decisions that will result in data breaches, non-compliance to regulation, disruption of service, and a loss of revenue, confidence, and trust.

EduTree's Network Security Services help protect your network infrastructure from internal and external threats. Our dedicated teams of security consultants bring a blend of real-world experience, technical aptitude and broad industry knowledge to every project. Using a customized approach and proven methodologies, our security experts assess the security of your network ensuring a thorough analysis and testing of your network security policies, processes and controls.

Firewall Policy Assessment

EduTree's Firewall Policy Review will audit and analyze router and firewall configurations to ensure the highest levels of protection and performance are achieved and to identify system vulnerabilities. This service provides a detailed report of the threats to your security including prioritization of the dangers to your business critical assets based on system vulnerabilities. The risk assessment also exposes complex firewall configurations that lead to security risks being hidden within firewall rules and highlights duplicated, disabled, unused or expired rules in order to increase the performance and speed of firewall security.

Services include:

  • Compare firewall and general perimeter security considerations against corporate policy

  • Review security policy to verify that it conforms to industry recognized "best practices" and that it is configured to ensure maximum self-protection against attack

  • Interview staff to determine if firewall changes adhere to a change management process

  • Assess administrative access to the firewall management station

  • Review firewall logs for accuracy and thoroughness

  • Inspect firewall rule base(s) for compliance to baseline standards

  • Review firewall configuration for weaknesses

  • Determine if firewall versions are up to date

  • Verify access control (internal to external)

  • Review firewall management controls (authentication, communications, accounts, etc)

  • Review efficiency of firewall rule order

  • Identify methods for storing and alerting on events

  • Verify firewall disaster recovery, backup, and redundancy

  • Report on findings, prioritized impact and recommendations

PCI Remediation

To achieve compliance with the PCI DSS, organizations that store, transmit and process cardholder data must have a wide range of controls and policies in place that address all facets of the regulation. To identify gaps and missing controls, organizations must conduct PCI assessments and remediation. The need for remediation can emerge at the preassessment stage or during the onsite audit, and the organization will often require quick action to reach a state of full compliance.

When a pre-assessment or onsite audit identifies a compliance risk, quick remediation is an imperative. EduTree's PCI compliance team includes technology and risk management experts from a range of functional practice areas. This expertise assures you that any identified risk will be remediated by experts.
