Security breaches: Find your weaknesses before someone else does

Information is one of the most valuable assets an organisation possesses. The way companies safeguard their information is coming under increased scrutiny. Technology has tended to focus on functionality rather than security and many systems are therefore insecure.

Today’s businesses rely on technology for the operation of their business, whether it be the back of house administrative systems that make the office run smoothly or a customer facing service that impacts the bottom line. For this reason the impact of a security breach can be devastating to any business.

Whether you are specifically targeted, subject to an opportunistic attack or just unlucky, the true impact of a breach can be devastating. The primary concern is loss of data that is valuable to your business.

There is also, however, a reputational concern as the bad press around a security breach can lead to loss of confidence in your business and ultimately impact on financial performance.

PwC can help you by uncovering the problems before hackers do. Our team of experienced testers can target your technology systems with the same techniques as those used by the hackers. This allows us to find the weaknesses and provide you with a roadmap to secure technology usage.

Typically our clients ask us to help with tests of their internal and external network infrastructures, wireless networks and internet based applications, however, we are able to perform many other specific tests that reflect all potential avenues of attack.
