Security Best Practice

One of the best ways to test your organization’s security and your potential exposure to hackers is with penetration testing.

But, if you haven’t implemented basic security guidelines, a penetration test isn’t a good place to start.

It would be like going to the dentist without ever brushing your teeth or flossing. You know exactly what the dentist is going to recommend already, so why waste your time?

That is why we documented some basic security guidelines that are relevant to all organizations, including:

• Understanding risk
• User security
• Network security
• Perimeter security
• Windows vs MacOS vs Linux
• System administration
• Mobile devices
• BYOD policies
• Software updates
• Wireless / WiFi
• Physical Security
• Credentials and Authentication
• And more!

Once you have worked on these basic guidelines, then you are ready to validate the security controls you worked on with penetration testing.
