Services provided
Infrastructure is the core of most organisation’s IT assets, and also one of the potentially largest attack surfaces presented. Infrastructure testing aims to identify any vulnerabilities that would allow an attacker to gain access to sensitive data
Applications are a common method of entry for attackers to gain access to internal corporate data. Ensure your application doesn’t expose any vulnerabilities leaving your data at risk
IT Health Checks review an organisation’s entire IT estate, and is an annual requirement for connecting to the Public Services Network (PSN). Forfend consultants are experienced carrying out ITHCs, as well as knowledgeable about their specific requirements.
With the rapid adoption of cloud services by many organisations, verifying the proper configuration of these services ensures that any data held within is not at risk of compromise
Wireless networks are used by many organisations to provide easy connectivity to corporate networks. These wireless networks however are often prone to attack, allowing an attacker an easy way in to your corporate network
Red team assessments mimic real world attack types, employing the same tools, techniques and procedures used by malicious actors to measure your organisation’s security posture, and identify any weaknesses in your detection and response
Employees are often the weakest link in the chain for any organisation’s security. Test how your employees react to our carefully tailored phishing campaigns to help train your employees how to spot and deal with phishing emails
Networking devices such as firewalls and switches are used to ensure access to sensitive environments is restricted to only allow intended access. The misconfiguration of these devices can allow attackers to access your sensitive data
Whilst all the care can be taken to ensure the security of any corporate assets exposed over the internet, what’s to stop someone just walking into your office? Review your physical security measures to make sure it’s not that easy
Testimonials
We were incredibly pleased with the service that we received from the guys at Forfend. From the outset, they met with us to get a full grasp of what we did as a business and decipher what type of attack we may be most susceptible to. Following the testing, we received a full report of the findings, we also met with the team at Forfend where they fully explained the findings in their report in a way that was clear for us to understand and gave us clear guidance on how to rectify the areas where we were weak. We would highly recommend Forfend for their competency, communication, and professionalism throughout the process.
Client In The Industrial Sector
We were thoroughly impressed with the effort from Forfend. They worked with us to identify the critical areas of the business that needed testing, and highlighted some issues we were unaware of, and demonstrated the potential impact associated with them. Their report was concise and made our lives easy putting in place their recommended fixes.
Client In The Retail Sector
Partnering with Forfend for our penetration testing needs was a game-changer. Their meticulous approach uncovered critical vulnerabilities previous companies hadn’t detected, and their actionable recommendations significantly bolstered our cyber security defenses. Would highly recommend.
