Network Security Review -- External and Internal Security Audit
VVRA's Network Security Review is a comprehensive review of all network services which will determine security holes, recommend fixes and assist in the development of a business security policy. The review covers servers, workstations, routers, firewalls, infrastructure, and layout. The product also includes a prioritized list of vulnerabilities. Recommendations will be provided for tools and products to use to protect the network.
The base price includes one Internet connected site with a maximum of 5 servers/devices/IPs. Each additional site or group of five devices/IPs can be added to a review at a discounted rate. Review services can also be secured on an hourly basis for individual servers or devices. Also note, that the Network Security Review also includes the Security Testing service as part of the process.

Security Testing
VVRA's Security Testing is safer then the alternative to discovering your network security vulnerabilities. As a third party, we'll look at your network with a fresh eye. Our engineers will profile and probe your network from the Internet. The process includes identification of systems with known exploitable security holes. A report will convey your system exposures and outline some suggested fixes.


Secure Server Configuration
VVRA provides pre-configured Microsoft or Netware servers that meet strict security guidelines prior to installation on your network.


Secure Workstation Image
VVRA will create a secure workstation image of your standard desktop for deployment on your network. This involves closing all the known holes in various browser and office applications using the latest service packs and hot fixes. The use of a standardized workstation image process is required.


Secure Router Configuration/Firewall/VPN/NAT/PROXY
VVRA will put a secure configuration on your router, firewall, VPN solution, NAT device, or Proxy technology, to optimize your network for secure traffic. The longer existing technologies are in the market, the more likely it becomes that new exploits have been developed to be used against them. VVRA will provide an initial configuration for a new device or reconfiguration for an existing device.


Security Subscription Service
This is a monthly maintenance service for your secure network devices. It provides warnings of any new hack attack methods, installation of security patches on servers on a monthly basis, and updates on new security technologies and products. We keep track of the new exploits and keep your servers updated to defend against them.
