Risk Assessment

The most important part of developing an effective information security program is to know the threats that are posed to your organization. Why waste good money on a security control that doesn’t defend a significant asset? Layer 3 Communications can work with your technology and business leaders to help identify your most important assets and business processes, as well as your most significant risks. We will then take those factors and produce a plan of action that addresses your needs in the most efficient and effective fashion, helping you control your risk exposure as well as your information security spending.

Policy and Procedures Review

Once you have a good grasp of your risks, you need to develop high quality policies and procedures to address them. Our team of highly trained infosec professionals has extensive experience with policy development. We can help you develop a comprehensive policy framework to give your business standards from which to operate for years to come.

Vulnerability Assessment

Once you have the business aspects of information security firmly in grasp, you should then begin addressing the technical details. Our infosec team can work with you to provide you a comprehensive snapshot of the technical vulnerabilities of your network infrastructure. Using a variety of tools, and our own extensive experience, we will generate a report detailing the vulnerabilities in your network, as well as a plan to help you remediate those problems. Servers, workstations, networking devices and wireless can all be assessed. If its plugged into your network, we’ll examine it and give you a plan to make it secure.

Penetration Testing

With both the business and technical aspects of your infosec program in place, the next step is to begin testing. Layer 3 Communications’ expert penetration testing team can effectively simulate actual attacks on your network. These attacks give you an excellent picture of how a hacker would attempt to gain access to your network, further allowing you to strengthen your security. Like our vulnerability assessments, we will provide you with detailed information of our attacks, as well as a comprehensive remediation plan.
