Vulnerability scanners alert companies to the preexisting flaws in their code and where they are located, while Penetration tests attempt to exploit the vulnerabilities in a system.
The cloud is constantly changing, making it difficult to rapidly detect and respond to threats. Cloud Security Assessments identify and mitigate security risks in cloud computing.
Gap Analysis identifies where an organization fails to meet regulatory requirements. A Remediation Plan then describes how to close those gaps and reach compliance.
A Security Operation Center continuously monitors and improve an organization’s security while preventing, detecting, analyzing, and responding to cybersecurity incidents.
Data centers are vital to the continuity of daily operations because they house an organization’s most critical and proprietary assets. Defense Front keeps your up to date.
Our professional services engagement allows engineers to provide direct support for any security tool purchased directly from the vendor.
A penetration test is a security exercise where a cyber-security expert attempts to find and
exploit vulnerabilities in a computer system. The purpose of this simulated attack is to identify
any weak spots in a system’s defenses which attackers could take advantage of
TLS was designed to facilitate privacy and data security for communications over the Internet. A
primary use case of TLS is encrypting the communication between web applications and servers,
such as web browsers loading a website. TLS can also be used to encrypt other communications
such as email, messaging, and voice over IP (VoIP).
Exploits are the means through which a vulnerability can be leveraged for malicious activity by
hackers; these include pieces of software, sequences of commands, or even open-source exploit
kits.
Botnets are networks of hijacked computer devices used to carry out various scams and
cyberattacks. The bots serve as a tool to automate mass attacks, such as data theft, server
crashing, and malware distribution.
Residual risk is the risk that remains in place after security measures and controls have been put
into place.
The terms cyber attack, cyber threat, and cyber risk are interrelated as follows. A cyber attack is an offensive action, whereas a cyber threat is the possibility that a particular attack may occur, and the cyber risk associated with the subject threat estimates the probability of potential losses that may result.
For example, a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) cyber attack by a botnet is a cyber threat for many enterprises with online retail websites, where the associated cyber risk is a function of lost revenues due to website downtime and the probability that a DDoS cyber attack will occur.
Malware is an umbrella term derived from “malicious software”, and refers to any software that is intrusive (unauthorized access), disruptive, or destructive to computer systems and networks. Malware may take many forms (executable code, data files) and includes, but is not limited to, computer viruses, worms, trojan horses (trojans), bots (botnets), spyware (system monitors, adware, tracking cookies), rogueware (scareware, ransomware), and other malicious programs. The majority of active malware threats are usually worms or trojans rather than viruses.
Cybersecurity refers to the specialization of computer network security that consists of technologies, policies, and procedures that protect networked computer systems from unauthorized use or harm. Broadly speaking, cybersecurity topics can be subdivided into two complementary areas: cyber attacks, which are essentially offensive and emphasize network penetration techniques; and cyber defenses, which are essentially protective and emphasize counter-measures intended to eliminate or mitigate cyber attacks.
