Are you 100% sure your business is protected?  

What would happen if you lost access to your email for two weeks?  

How would you make payroll if you couldn’t access your accounting software?

How do you know that your IT provider is plugging every hole in your network?

These are scary questions that can keep you up at night. The first step to peace of mind is to get the information you need to make good decisions about your business’ cyber security. This is where a third party, human-lead penetration comes in.  

Nocwing has partnered with Galactic Advisors to offer our partners and prospects penetration testing at no cost. No, this isn’t cheap and yes, we have to make it worth it. We knew we had to do this when we saw the incredible results of our first test with a prospective client. The test was able to provide the Business Owners username and passwords to their bank accounts within minutes. Nocwing provided a quote for remediation the very same day and the existing IT provider had an awkward phone call.

You can schedule a no-cost penetration test today, just click here.

How does the pen test work? Here’s Galactic Advisors explaining the process:

Step 1: You click on an executable (simulating what happens when a link in an email is clicked).

Step 2: Let the executable run once. This takes between 5 minutes and an hour (up to 2.5 hours on older machines). Go about your normal routine as it runs.

Step 3: We will analyze your results and present our findings as to what a hacker would find on your network. This will include cloud drives, One Drive, DropBox, Box, SharePoint and other file-sharing programs.

 

These findings include:

Security Patches & Vulnerability Management: Discover whether your network has vulnerabilities resulting from patch management issues.

Your Network’s Perimeter Defense: Using multilayered boundaries, including a firewall, intrusion prevention and intrusion detection are more critical today than ever before. Our scanner will test whether your firewalls are configured correctly and whether they appropriately alarm.

Identity & Access Management: Learn if your team is using stale, repeated or crackable passwords for accounts on your network. We’ll help you institute security best practices for handling passwords and credentials, such as the usage of multi-factor authentication for remote access, critical accounts and administrative accounts, enforcement of a strong password policy, absence of default and/or shared accounts and more.

Identify Serious Data Leaks: Locate where sensitive data is stored on your network and make sure it’s being guarded. Hackers commonly exploit both your network and data assets when attacking your network.

Measure Your Malware Defenses: Determine if you have an appropriate cyber stack that will respond to a simulated virus attack. Deployment of a solution which controls the installation, spread, and execution of malicious code at multiple points is critical.

Information To Inform Your Cybersecurity Decision Making: Gauge where your cybersecurity REALLY is today. Learn whether data encryption is functioning properly, what information about what a hacker can see around an infected device, and whether your network would withstand an attack (even on one machine!).

Nearly every data breach is preventable.

Unfortunately, cybercriminals rely on the common belief that just because you’ve been able to avoid an incident like this in the past, you’re safe now.
