The semi-anonymous nature of the Internet was an intentional feature of its architecture, to encourage the fundamental American principles of privacy and freedom of thought. Unfortunately, the reality is that some will use this anonymity to violate the rights and property of others. When you consider that many companies try to expedite their business by ignoring security issues, the risks of network intrusion become extremely high. We can help mitigate this risk by analyzing your exposure and working with your IT and development groups to propose a more defensive posture.
In many cases, our work begins only after an intrusion has occured. We perform forensic analysis on the compromised machine and attempt to extract as much information about the intrusion as possible. For companies with highly customized servers that cannot be easily replaced, we then use the information gathered to cleanup the machine and prevent further access to the machine by the intruder.
