Getting a network audit performed is a key component to any secure business. With the prevalence of malware, viruses, backdoors and spear phishing techniques it is vital for business managers to not only have the network audit as proof against negligence in the case of legal action but also for piece of mind and as a way to have a better understanding of how your business’ technology is operating.
What is a Network Audit
A network audit is a procedure which catalogs all the software, hardware, devices, points of access, security holes and potential issues that are within your business’ network.
What Does a Network Audit Involve
The LME Network Audit is preformed by certified auditing software that is setup and installed to thoroughly scan your network internally and externally. Internally, the network auditing process maps all the devices and software on the network. Externally, the software looks for issue with your firewall and any points of access to your network. All of this data is then analyzed and provided to you, the business manager, with any issues or potential flaws highlighted.
How a Network Audit Keeps Your Network Safe
A network audit can alert a network administrator to any changes on the network or unknown devices/software. For example, if a staff member has downloaded unlicensed software, malicious programs or perhaps brings in their own devices.
Network audits also help with personal devices your staff may use in the workplace as more often than not, staff do not take proper security measures with these devices. If an employee has an malware afflicted device on your companies WiFi, you are legally responsible for whatever negative affect it may have.
We even have the option of leaving the network auditing software on the network at all times if you are interested in receiving alerts to new devices and software as they get added.
