Vulnerability Assessment

iVOLUTION Security audit services provide insights into as many application or operating system weaknesses as possible.  To properly identify a threat you must first identify what the threat actually is. Vulnerability can be defined as: a weakness in a mechanism that threatens the confidentiality, integrity or availability of an asset. This definition provides the very core of many of the compliance regulations and mandates in existence today and into the future.

Using a combination of experience and technologies the vulnerability assessment pinpoints specific vulnerabilities and identifies underlying problems. The analysis integrates detailed vulnerability and countermeasure information for:

• Session Security (Authentication and Authorization)
• Session management
• Data integrity and confidentiality
• Privacy concerns
• Information leakage
• Fundamental Design Security
• HTML Source Management
• Input Validation
• SQL Injection
• Cross Site Scripting
• Token Analysis (Cookies, Custom Session IDs, etc.)

Our vulnerability assessment process allows us to not only identify vulnerabilities but also discern the actual threats vulnerabilities pose, assess their potential impact and associated risk and assist in remediation efforts.

Leveraging our vulnerability assessment and auditing services provides assurance that your critical information assets and enterprise applications will be as secure as possible. Our systematic approach to vulnerability assessment ensures that security is always a core element, and can help by providing precise, actionable information to remediate vulnerabilities and remain compliant. Vulnerability assessment is only a portion of the process.

To gain the maximum advantage organizations should promote vulnerability assessments that work hand in hand with penetration testing.
