Understand your network, get network security

Devfense DNA Discovery Network Assessment

Your organization needs better network security. But first you need to understand what's in your network infrastructure and how people are connecting to it.

Devfense DNA provides a report including an inventory and topology of your network to help your organization understand the state of your IT environment, how it is connected and what kinds of security improvements may be required. Devfense DNA:

Performs an onsite inspection of your facilities and IT environment, such as your server, power supply, cables, room security, drainage and more.

Discovers and assesses the condition of your network’s IP-based physical hardware (servers, workstations laptops), ports, networked printers, firewalls, their operating systems

Identifies and addresses potential network-based vulnerabilities due to equipment wear, poor hardware configuration or patch-management deficiencies

Provides a report and network diagram based on the findings of the network discovery process

This is the first step in protecting your business reputation and operational continuity from network-related security risks.

Those organizations that require a fuller network security assessment plus a clear prioritized roadmap of security fixes should consider the cost-effective package of Devfense services including Devfense NSA (Network Security Assessment) in addition to Devfense DNA).
