Imerja UTA™ – going beyond standard penetration testing
As the IT security threat landscape continues to evolve and new threats are identified, it is increasingly important to test the integrity and resolve of your own IT security measures in order to protect your customers, your users and ultimately your business.
Regular penetration testing is now common practice among organisations looking to ensure that their security measures are actively analysed for design weaknesses, technical flaws and vulnerabilities. However, these tests only offer a partial view of the potential vulnerabilities an organisation faces.
Unified Threat Assessment is a flexible service from Imerja which goes beyond a standard penetration testing regime to incorporate a broad portfolio of assessments and tests, which collectively provide a more detailed picture of the IT security posture within an organisation.
Imerja UTA delivers a benchmark assessment against a number of core areas relevant to typical business requirements, covering:
- Security Policy & Infrastructure Review (Gap Analysis)
- Security Policy Enforcement Assessment
- Internal Vulnerability Assessment
- External Internet Assessment
- Existing Threat Prevalence Assessment
- Wireless Network Test
- Remote Access Test
- Reputation Checking
- Data Mobility
- Passwords and Trusted Systems
- Denial of Service Testing
- UT-MAP
Individual modules are targeted at addressing a specific group of IT security threat areas, enabling you to select only those relevant to your organisation. Each module includes a defined set of tests and outputs. However, UTA is a very flexible service enabling you to tailor the scope and detail in any of the areas listed above to suit your requirements. Being modular in design the service can also be broadened through the addition of optional tests and assessments to create a bespoke service relevant to your business.
The list of available modules is continually reviewed by Imerja and modules revised or added as new threats identified. Typical additions to the standard UTA service include:
- Social Engineering Test
- Application Test
- PABX Vulnerability Test
- Employee Usage Assessment
The direct involvement of our experienced consultants complements automated toolsets with manual testing and verification techniques to avoid reporting on false positives, ensuring that the information you receive is focused only on the issues you need to know about.
Following completion of the UTA process our Consultants will present the findings to you and deliver a comprehensive report with recommendations.
