Network security checkup

Abstract

The goal of a network security audit is to get an understanding of where the vulnerabilities are, how severe they are, and what needs to be done to fix them. There are security holes that do not need to be fixed or, at least, can be prioritized as a small risk, which would take an inordinate amount of work to overcome. The first step to securing a company's information systems is admitting that the job will never be finished. Security tools are getting friendlier, and performing a security audit has become more of a doable, everyday task.
