The GDS vulnerability assessment methodology is designed to identify and confirm relevant security vulnerabilities across the entire range of a company's networks.

Approach

A thorough review of each networked resource is performed and all findings verified and recorded. Server compromise activities are not performed by default, but can be added if requested. Each vulnerability assessment is driven by a combination of automated vulnerability scanning and manual testing techniques. GDS security engineers leverage their extensive testing experience to select the most reliable scanning tools and configuration options based on information enumerated from the target networks and systems. Manual testing is then performed to validate scan results, as well as identify complex vulnerabilities not able to be detected by automated scanners.

Deliverables

GDS delivers a detailed and comprehensive report at the conclusion of each infrastructure security assessment. All GDS reports are highly customizable depending on requested reporting requirements and typically include an executive summary, detailed technical findings and recommendations, and illustrative walkthroughs of all exploitation steps performed.

Optional Services

• Regression testing of all items identified during the assessment
