VISTA© Penetration Study
Internet and internal network security testing
for US banks, savings & loans, and credit unions

 

 

The VISTA penetration study and Internet security test is much more sophisticated than just scanning ports.  As a hacker would begin, we also begin by conducting a comprehensive port scan.  The TCP and UDP port scans provide vital information about the open ports from which critical data is obtained.  This critical data provides the in-depth penetration-vulnerability information necessary for the Internet security audit.

With the information gathered from initial port scan, we perform a network discovery that depicts the network topology, access points to the network, machines names, IP addresses, operating systems, and discovered services, such as HTTP, SMTP, Telnet, SNMP, etc.  With this captured information, the appropriate vulnerability is selected out of over 5,000 know vulnerabilities; the appropriate test is performed, and results interpreted. 

The penetration security risk assessment, includes all routers, switches, hubs, firewalls, servers, workstations, printers, and wireless access devices. 

During the testing, detection and auditing databases includes PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, Microsoft SQL, and Sybase.  These tests for vulnerabilities or erroneous configurations show the possible access points that would allow for information leaks, theft of data and confidential customer information, unauthorized penetration that could lead to intrusion, and denial of service attacks. 

The testing is further capable of identifying viruses, backdoors, worms, Trojans, and other malicious applications.  This testing is accomplished by sending specially crafted packets to the accessed host and analyzing the response. 

Yennik, Inc. uses Qualys, Inc. a worldwide leader in providing vulnerability assessment services.  Qualys performs over 150 million scan a year.  While we use their QualysGuard vulnerability assessment program and technicians, we actual control and run your external VISTA.  QualysGuard is state of the art commercial vulnerability analysis software to perform the vulnerability test of the configuration of your Internet connection to your computer operations.  The QualysGuard knowledge base of exploits is constantly updated, which ensures that at the time of the test all know vulnerabilities were tested.  Qualys employs multiple sources to updating the knowledge base, including Bugtraq (a list of new vulnerabilities published and updated by Security Focus, Inc.), hacking sites monitored by Qualys, and the research of Qualys' own security engineers.

QualysGuard PCI has been approved by the PCI Council to provide PCI scanning services.  The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, known as PCI DSS, is a global security standard developed by the major credit card brands as a guideline to help organizations that process credit card payments protect sensitive customer data.  QualysGuard PCI is the only, fully-automated on demand PCI compliance solution that helps both Acquiring Institutions and Merchants automate PCI compliance.

Qualys, Inc., the pioneer of Managed Vulnerability Assessment, enables Yennik, Inc. to remotely and automatically audit Internet-connected networks for security vulnerabilities. 
Qualys' service platform approach enables immediate, transparent and continuous security auditing and risk assessment of global networks, inside and outside the firewall.   Founded in 1999 by a team of Internet security experts, Qualys is headquartered in Redwood Shores, California, with offices in France, Germany and the U.K.
