Configuration

Analysis

Illustration of cybersecurity services

Configuration analysis takes an in-depth look at servers, databases, and devices to ensure the setup aligns with security best practices.

By identifying and rectifying security vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, the overall security of your IT infrastructure is significantly enhanced.

Key focus areas include:

01

Operating System Configuration Analysis

The analysis delves into a multitude of system checks including Network Services, Processes, and System Variables. Assessing available network services, verifying run processes, and system variables helps ensure they are all secure and optimized. Disk Space and Encryption refer to the separation of disk space and the encryption mechanisms employed which are analysed to ensure your sensitive data is adequately protected. Additional Security Mechanisms encompass a comprehensive review of security mechanisms, kernel-level security measures, jails, chroot, BSD security levels, host IDS, host firewall, file integrity checker, antivirus, and SELinux. System Updates and Scheduled Tasks imply that we verify if system updates are up to date and assess scheduled tasks for potential security risks. Logging System and Security in Boot Phase means we evaluate the logging system for any potential vulnerabilities and verify the server's security during the boot phase. OS Management and Shell Command History involve a review of the operating system management mechanism and shell command history to identify potential operational risks.
02

Database Configuration Analysis

A thorough review of your database configuration will include Hardening Mechanisms and Client Communication. Implemented hardening mechanisms are tested, such as default users, database partitioning, log storage, and unusual events showing in logs. Additionally, we test the cryptographic mechanisms used for client authentication and data transfer. Database Architecture and RDBMS Service involve a general review of database architecture including authorization mechanisms, authentication, privilege segmentation, views, and stored procedures. Moreover, we analyse RDBMS service on a network level for further insights into your database's security status.
