INTERNAL/EXTERNAL INFRASTRUCTURE AUDITS

The internal and external infrastructure audit service is designed to perform a comprehensive analysis of vulnerabilities present in an organization's IT infrastructure, covering both internet-exposed components and internal networks. Through this evaluation, potential entry points and security gaps are identified and corrected, ensuring a solid and coordinated defense strategy against both external and internal threats.

External Infrastructure Audit

The external infrastructure audit focuses on evaluating systems, servers, and services exposed to the internet, analyzing open ports and any other access points that may pose a security risk. This analysis identifies potential attack vectors and strengthens the defenses of exposed assets. Aspects evaluated include:

Identification of Open Ports and Exposed Services:

An exhaustive analysis of open ports and accessible services from the outside is conducted, identifying potential exposures that could compromise network security. This process includes reviewing configurations, detecting outdated or unpatched services, and evaluating potential attack vectors. The goal is to minimize risks associated with unauthorized access and strengthen the security posture of the external infrastructure.

External Vulnerability Search and Analysis:

A thorough analysis of known and potential vulnerabilities in the exposed infrastructure is performed, applying penetration tests and vulnerability scans to identify threats that could be exploited by external attackers. This approach detects system weaknesses, prioritizes risks based on their impact, and provides strategic recommendations for mitigation, strengthening the organization's perimeter security.

Security Configuration Evaluation:

The configuration of exposed systems and services is analyzed to ensure compliance with security best practices. This evaluation identifies default, incorrect, or poorly managed configurations that could be exploited by attackers. The goal is to strengthen the security of the external infrastructure, minimizing risks associated with unauthorized access and inadequate configurations.

Internal Infrastructure Audit

The internal infrastructure audit focuses on evaluating the security of systems and networks not exposed to the internet, as well as analyzing the Active Directory in organizations that implement it. The goal is to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by internal threats or if an attacker manages to bypass perimeter defenses. This process includes:

Internal Network Analysis:

A detailed mapping and analysis of the internal network is conducted to identify potential vulnerability points. This process includes reviewing firewall configurations, network segmentation, and secure access policies, as well as controlling devices connected to the infrastructure. The goal is to detect and mitigate weaknesses that could be exploited by internal threats or attackers who bypass perimeter defenses, ensuring a secure and properly configured environment.

Active Directory Evaluation:

In companies with an Active Directory, a detailed analysis is performed to ensure that permissions, configurations, and security policies are adequately defined. This includes reviewing access controls, user privileges, password policies, and multi-factor authentication configurations to prevent privilege escalation and unauthorized access.

Configuration and Patch Management Analysis:

A detailed evaluation of internal systems and patch management procedures is conducted, identifying potential lack of updates in critical software or inadequate security configurations. This analysis ensures that internal systems are protected against known threats, minimizing the risk of vulnerability exploitation and reducing the possibility of intrusions within the network.

This comprehensive audit service, covering both internal and external components, provides organizations with a complete view of their defenses and ensures that any access point, whether internal or exposed to the internet, is adequately protected and managed to minimize security risks.
