iXsecurity performs security analyses and penetration testing of network environments. Our research laboratory helps us offer market-leading evaluations of your computer security.
Today’s IT-systems stores valuable, critical and secret information about the company and its products, processes and customers. If this data is compromised, stolen or manipulated in any way it will affect your credibility, profitability and market share. There is also a non negliable risk of system down-time due to external or internal attacks.
iXsecurity works in the field of IT security. Our definition of IT security is the right information to the right person at the right time. We consider any computer system that does not fulfil these criteria a security risk. iXsecurity was founded in 1983 in Sweden and our customers can be found in all areas of business. iXsecurity is the market leading IT security audit company in Sweden. Several of Sweden’s biggest companies and banks plus a fair amount of the country's government bodies have chosen iXsecurity’s services to verify their Internet and network security.
Naturally, iXsecurity's consultants are subject to extremely strict security regulations. iXsecurity is a SUA-classed company; this means that all information regarding iXsecurity's customers and the nature of the assignment shall be handled with the strictest confidence and that all of iXsecurity's security consultants have undergone stringent security checks prior to their employment.
Who has access to your network?
During the 90s, computer security developed at an incredible rate. The threats as well as the solutions for protection have changed radically. During the mainframe epoch of the 80s, the task of security focused on physical protection in the form of backup and fire protection. Today, more and more companies are connected to the Internet, corporate networks or external suppliers. The previously so well guarded and closed networks are now connected to the world via an open network protocol; the risk that important information will fall into the wrong hands has increased dramatically.
The possibility of overseeing a company's computer security is further complicated by the fact the networks change, hardware is added and employees relocate. In the development of security aspects, focus is on how information is made available and protected.
Knowledge is perishable
The latest in the IT business today may very well be totally out of date tomorrow.
Knowledge about the latest hacker techniques and products are spread over the Internet through mailing lists, discussion groups and home pages. The security technicians at iXsecurity monitor the same sources as real hackers do. Another important way that iXsecurity keeps abreast of developments is by attending hacker conferences like Defcon, the world's largest Hacker congress.
At the laboratories of iXsecurity, all collected information is analysed so that any opened security windows can be closed again. This is what makes iXsecurity's competence so unique.
The methology and tools used by iXsecurity's technicians in their work are developed and adapted in the laboratory. As we gain more knowledge, the Penetration Test and other services, available since 1995, is continuously improved and developed.
