Host Configuration Review

Assessing the configuration of servers and workstations may reveal several weaknesses present in the current build accepted as an organization IT policy. Our host configuration review service provides assurance for each host in your corporate network by minimizing the risk of being compromise and implements the remediation procedures. Our configuration test methodologies combine resources from NIST host checklists, Lynis tool for Unix, Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) for Windows systems and other customized checks to evaluate the complete picture of the hosts configuration. This process will tailor the specific operation system versions, with missing patches, weak file permissions, weak passwords and misconfiguration in several underlying applications which allow the retrieval of sensitive information. This gives different perspective from external penetration testing or vulnerability assessment which in-turn represents the attacker’s view. Cipher Storm consultant assess the overall host configuration to ensure that the system is up-to-date and hardened properly.
