Despite the increased sophistication employed by hackers for both external and internal attacks, around 75% of all reported breaches continue to exploit known, configuration-based vulnerabilities.

Beyond and in addition to network-based testing, this assessment utilizes network design reviews, benchmarking and analysis of the configurations of firewalls, routers, and other networking devices to ensure these systems are set up to protect the networks and communications in the best way possible. This also ensures that the return on investment of the cost of this equipment is maximized from a security standpoint by verifying that every available and effective security feature have been implemented.
