How Will 2009 Be the Year You Beat the Hackers?

Last year, we ran a survey about the security services business-people like you were interested in. The results are shown below.  The question was "What kind of security training, consulting or mentoring are you interested in?"

Respondents logged into the site and used the 2008 Planning contact (Navigation menu item "Contacts") to let us know their priorities. 

These were the choices:

  • I want to know the trends in Computer Security                                                               02%
  • I want End-User Security Training                                                                                     06%
  • I want Security Workshops                                                                                                10%
  • I want Network Penetration Testing                                                                                  19%
  • I want Pre-Audit Testing to secure my customers' privacy                                              17%
  • I want help developing my Security Policies                                                                     09%
  • I want help finding the right Open Source software for my organization                        09%
  • I want help implementing my software solutions                                                              11%
  • I want somebody to customize code for some part of my business process                    09%
  • I want help developing a winning and secure marketing strategy                                   06%
  • I want to do something else, and this is what.._________________________         02%

 Network Penetration Testing - to find out what might need to be better-secured, and Pre-Audit Testing - to obtain better audit results,  and thus make clients' security better were the top two items and so I am pleased to announce a new and inexpensive entry-level service from HSI-US. 

Automated Network Testing.

The average successful cyber-attack on a business can cause not only direct monitary loss but also may result in loss of repeat business and bad public image for your company.  If the public loses faith in your company's ability to protect their personal information, they are unlikely to re-use your services and though there isn't any evidence that your competitors' infrastructures are any more secure than yours, clients will siphon off to those competitors with no history of being hacked. This is just human nature and there was really nothing you could do about it...

 

Until NOW!

Now, using HSI's automated security systems, you can find out what the baseline network security at your company really is, and how you measure up to PCI, Sarbox, HIPAA and other standards and legal requirements.  Our automated software outputs a simple, understandable and do-able list of security vulnerabilities, and the solutions to mend those vulnerabilities.  HSI professionals can then close the holes for you, or train you and your staff to close the holes.  We have access to some amazing solutions to computer network vulnerabilities that can save you money in several ways:

  1. When your network is secure, you are not vulnerable to the most costly external threats and can allocate funds and time to your core competencies rather than spending time and money on recovering from attacks.  You might even see a reduction of business insurance costs because you are Network Security Savvy.
  2. When your network is secure, you will buy fewer unnecessary security solutions.  When your main security protocol is based on Hoping that the hackers won't choose to test your network for vulnerabilities, and Wishing that somebody would come up with the magic-bullet solution to all your security issues, you are a sitting duck for anybody with a great new security solution.  Companies just like yours spend thousands of dollars protecting themselves from threats that are not present on their own networks.  You can graduate to become a knowledgeable network-security consumer.
  3. Once you have a handle on the infrastructure side of the equation, you can work on the security-policy and end-user training factors of network Security.
