Full service discovery
Internal systems typically don't receive the same level of hardening or firewall protection as their external counterparts. An unnecessary service can provide an unacceptable level of risk to corporate networks.
Passive network monitoring

With knowledge of these credentials, it becomes possible for our consultants to examine in far greater detail the security levels of your internal network.
