Does your company leverage commercial and custom web applications as a critical business tool? Do you have external points of presence to the internet?

The Security Challenge

In today’s large and small businesses, the reward gained by streamlining business processes opens organizations up to a whole new level of heightened security risk. Cybercriminals are finding holes in web applications and exploiting them with relative ease.

You can no longer be confident your network perimeter is stopping attacks nor can you assume your computers are under your control. Security breaches can dramatically impact an organization – sensitive information is exposed, reputation is damaged, fines are imposed, and trust is destroyed.

Common Web Application Exploits

1. SQL Injections
2. Cross-Site Scripting
3. Request Forgeries
4. Directory Transverals
5. Buffer Overflow Checks
6. "Remote File Includes" in PHP

The SMP Solution & Methodology

An Application Security Assessment from Security Management Partners provides valuable information on the current state of exposure. We identify vulnerabilities and report on the level of risk each represents. The risk level takes several factors into consideration such as the potential damage of such an attack, the complexity of the required attack, and the source of attack.

SMP then provides recommendations to improve any areas of concern and offers actionable solutions to increase the security of your information assets. Frequent testing from SMP will help minimize the potential for future disaster.
