Today’s technologies open the door to a completely new level of security risk. Your survival could depend on keeping those doors closed!

Threats such as missing security service packs, buffer/heap overflows, default accounts, backdoors and trojans may sound like Greek to anyone but a geek, but these are a few of the considerable security risks facing financial institutions. The same technology that delivers new services and improved operations also exposes users to a completely new and higher level of risks and the necessity of risk avoidance (which begins with risk assessment).

The security risk assessment program delivered by CCG Catalyst includes subject matter experts who follow the industry standard Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual (OSSTMM) to measure the levels of risk to financial institution clients.

Methodology includes:

Penetration Testing

Each asset undergoes a comprehensive attack. The results are evaluated and the assessment may also identify potentially less significant risks that, when combined, may escalate the severity of the attack on the information systems.

The scope of the security assessment can also be expanded to include the following:

Social Engineering – The human element is often the most overlooked aspect of an organization’s security program. This identifies critical risk factors through varying levels of communication.

Physical Security – This is the means used to protect infrastructure, information and personnel from loss and damage.

Web Application Security – Our security consultants can identify the vulnerabilities and risks to any application or platform, regardless of the underlying technologies. Automated tools are carefully configured and monitored to test security controls.
