It includes performing a thorough evaluation of network security to identify vulnerabilities, threats and risks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A network security check from CyberAnt consists of the following steps:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Goal Setting:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">  The purpose of the network security check is established. For example, to identify security vulnerabilities or verify regulatory compliance.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"> <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"> <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Defining Scope:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">  The scope of the network security check must be determined. This involves delineating the network environment and the systems that will be examined.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"> <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"> <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Gathering information:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">  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.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"> <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"> <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Vulnerability scans:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">  Performing automated vulnerability scans on all systems on the network. This helps to identify vulnerabilities and potential threats.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"> <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"> <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Penetration testing:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">  Conducting penetration tests to test the effectiveness of security measures. This involves trying to break into the network to identify weaknesses.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"> <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"> <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Analysis of results:<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">  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.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"> <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"> <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><br \/>\n  <span data-contrast=\"auto\">Advice and improvements:<\/span><br \/>\n<\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Based on the results of the analysis, advice and recommendations are provided for improvements in the security of the <\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">network. It is up to the organization to follow up on the recommendations and implement the necessary measures.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"> <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>NetCaptain from CyberAnt  <span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To maintain an organization&#8217;s security, it is important to perform regular network security scans. In order to do this in a structured way as an organization has  <\/span><b><br \/>\n  <span data-contrast=\"auto\">CyberAnt developed an understandable and affordable solution for that, viz. <\/span><br \/>\n<\/b><b><br \/>\n  <span data-contrast=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cyberant.com\/en\/netcaptain-2\/\">NetCaptain<\/a>.<\/span><br \/>\n<\/b> <span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">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.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48879 size-featured\"
