Network Vulnerability Scans
. . . . . . . . blended assessments to protect your network
By adopting a sound organisational security policy 
and having your Internet servers and applications regularly vulnerability scanned you stand the best chance of minimizing the likelihood of a security breach.
Control Key offers Westpoint services to help you protect your organisation through regular external assessments. The blended approach not only uses the latest tools to expose any risks but also ensures a security analyst will visit each system to assess those risks and find vulnerabilities that cannot be discovered by automated-only testing. This automated plus manual approach offers the best all round solution.
" ...best chance of minimising the likelihood of a security breach "Vulnerability assessments are an important part of any risk management programme and can assist you in complying with legislation, regulation and security standards such as Sarbanes-Oxley, the Payment Card Industry's (PCI) Data Security Standard, ISO17799/27000 series and other Data Protection and Privacy compliance issues.
. . . . subnet discovery scans
In order to ensure unauthorised devices are not appearing on your subnet we will attempt to contact every IP address within that subnet on a range of TCP and UDP ports, typically including ICMP echo request, TCP echo (7/tcp), UDP echo (7/udp), HTTP (80/tcp), HTTPS (443/tcp), Netbios Session request (139/tcp), DNS (53/udp) and a range of ports on which Worms and Trojans reside.
Subnet discovery scans run each month over the course of a year at a time specified by you. Monthly reports are sent encrypted to nominated contacts within your organisation.
