Network Security Check

A network security check is an important part of security management and helps to strengthen network security and reduce the risks of cyber attacks.

A network security check is a process to check the security of a network. It includes performing a thorough evaluation of network security to identify vulnerabilities, threats and risks.

A network security check from CyberAnt consists of the following steps:

  • Goal Setting: The purpose of the network security check is established. For example, to identify security vulnerabilities or verify regulatory compliance.
  • Defining Scope: The scope of the network security check must be determined. This involves delineating the network environment and the systems that will be examined.
  • Gathering information: Gathering information about the network infrastructure, systems and security measures is an important part of the security check. This can be done manually or using automated tools.
  • Vulnerability scans: Performing automated vulnerability scans on all systems on the network. This helps to identify vulnerabilities and potential threats.
  • Penetration testing: Conducting penetration tests to test the effectiveness of security measures. This involves trying to break into the network to identify weaknesses.
  • Analysis of results: The results of the network security check are analyzed and written out in a clear report. The report is explained and evaluated in person. This addresses what vulnerabilities and threats exist and what measures will need to be taken to improve security.

  • Advice and improvements:
     Based on the results of the analysis, advice and recommendations are provided for improvements in the security of the network. It is up to the organization to follow up on the recommendations and implement the necessary measures.

NetCaptain from CyberAnt

To maintain an organization’s security, it is important to perform regular network security scans. In order to do this in a structured way as an organization has
CyberAnt developed an understandable and affordable solution for that, viz.

NetCaptain.
With NetCaptain, (even smaller) organizations can perform daily network security scans on their own. CyberAnt made sure that the findings and explanations about the findings found but also the risks and how an organization could solve the finding can be found in a clear dashboard which thus also saves a lot of time.
