To address the ever-changing security landscape affecting end users and their laptops, host intrusion prevention systems (HIPS) were first developed as personal firewalls, with simple intelligence that was sometimes based on intrusion detection system (IDS) rules.
A host security assessment is performed from the view point of a host or devices console that provides additional insight into the host’s configuration that cannot be seen from the network. This allows for the identification of additional exposures and configuration weaknesses that may make a host more susceptible to compromise.
AKATI Consulting’s own experience and in-house developed processes and methodologies will ensures the host's operating system and applications have been appropriately “hardened” to give you the best protection against existing risks as well as new and emerging threats. Our host security assessment can be performed separately, or in conjunction with an Attack & Penetration review and is based on a configuration review, a desktop review of available information and documentation.
