Compromise Assessment

Compromise Assessment

As cyber adversaries become more persistent and sophisticated, organizations are more susceptible to cyber breaches than ever before. It is vital for organizations to outmaneuver attackers by proactively testing the effectiveness of their current security program against today’s threat actors. The first step is to determine if there is a threat actor in your environment. 

What is a Compromise Assessment (CA)?

A compromise assessment is a thorough analysis of a network and its devices to detect unknown security flaws, malware, and evidence of unwanted access. More precisely, the evaluation tries to identify attackers who are now active in the environment or have recently been active.

To seek the evidence of possible risks, a Compromise Assessment will be running on detecting indicators of compromise (IoC) and correlating them with hard data. For example, network applications may use more bandwidth than usual to send and receive traffic, maybe to an obfuscated, unsecured site. Key loggers or credential-stealing malware may be operating in mobile and online applications, with the goal of compromising networks from within.

Importance of Compromise Assessment

Compromise assessments are the most effective in-depth defense method a company can take to guarantee vulnerabilities are identified and no attackers get past its defenses.
