Technical Security:

• Server/Network operating systems (Windows, UNIX, Novell Netware).
• Databases (Microsoft SQLServer, Oracle).
• Networking (Wireless, Wired, Firewall, Pen-Testing, Remote Access).
• Virtualisation (VMWare).

Why carry out penetration testing?

• It will demonstrate where there are weaknesses, and prove that it is possible to gain access to the systems;
• It can help to validate the security concepts in hand and test the security processes already in place;
• Having a penetration test by is the only way to validate IT security because he/she uses the same techniques which a real hackers would use - hackers don't need complex tools, most are freely available on the Internet
• If you do get attacked by a real hacker, a pentration test will probably be capable of identfying how the systems were compromised; and
• Those responsible for IT security will have little piece of mind without regular testing to prove that security measures employed meet requirements.
