Every 39 seconds there is another cyber attack. Cybercriminals are utilizing robust tools and sophisticated techniques to attack businesses and steal data. Knowing your own weaknesses is critical to preventing disaster before it is too late.
Penetration testing simulates real-world attacks which identify points of exploitation and test your defensive mechanisms. The primary goal of a penetration test is to evaluate your overall security posture.

Multi-Factor Authentication - MFA
What is MFA?
Multi-factor authentication or MFA refers to the use of two or more means of identification and access control—sometimes referred to as “something you know, something you have, or something you are.” A username and password, for example, is something you know. Requiring a code sent via text message (SMS) establishes “something you have,” i.e., a mobile phone belonging to you. Biometric authentication, through a fingerprint or retina scan, establishes “something you are.” Multi-factor authentication is successfully enabled when at least two of these categories of identification are required in order to successfully verify a user’s identity when accessing systems.
Virtual Chief Information Security Officer
A Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is the senior-level executive within an organization responsible for establishing and maintaining the enterprise vision, strategy, and program to ensure information assets and technologies are adequately protected. For organizations who can’t support the need or budget of a full-time CISO, outsourcing to a virtual CISO (vCISO) is a great option that brings both strategic and operational leadership on security.
HIPAA Security Risk Assessment
Meeting and Sustaining HIPAA Compliance Requires Regular Evaluation
Protecting sensitive patient and customer data is not only ethical, it’s required. In order to maintain HIPAA compliance, your organization needs to have written policies and procedures, provide employee HIPAA security training, and perform regular compliance testing across the board.
