The Challenge
The Internet poses many risks to business. The risk of external hackers, worms or bots entering your network or causing a systems outage (through a newly exploited security hole, system misconfiguration or fault) remains clear and present. These vulnerabilities may lie in areas such as your firewall, Web servers, mail servers, Windows, Unix, Linux and a whole host of other categories.

It is a common myth that a firewall will protect an organisation from security exploits. This is unfortunately false, in the vast majority of cases. If your systems are open to an exploit, then, at some point, the likelihood is that they will be exploited.

The Szvj Solution
The Szvj Internet Vulnerability Assessment (IVA) goes a long way in ensuring that security vulnerabilities in your Internet-facing systems and services do not go unchecked.

The IVA service is an IT security audit performed by Szvj to check your systems and services against over 11,000 different security risks, with more checks being added daily to ensure that the most recent and critical vulnerabilities are tested for. If a known vulnerability exists on your system, you can be comfortable knowing that the IVA service will detect it.

If vulnerability is found, a report is generated by Szvj, detailing the vulnerability, its severity and a resolution for the issue. You are then in a position to ask Szvj or your own IT functions to act.
