In a world where computer hacking has become an international problem, cyber terrorism is on the rise, and government regulations are becoming more stringent, companies are becoming increasingly concerned regarding the security of their networks.

A recent Computer Crime and Security Survey, conducted by the Computer Security Institute and the FBI in America, showed that over half of all companies surveyed detected unauthorised use of their computer systems.

Canadian ITS puts security right at the top of the agenda. Our experts are qualified to the highest levels, including the 'gold standard' in cyber security certification - the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), which is a vendor-neutral certification governed by the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium.

Network security is a multi-step process that encompasses assessing, planning, monitoring and enforcing security policies, testing for network usage and compliance, to find out who is really using the network, since the ability to detect any unusual network activity, or possible vulnerabilities, is essential to determining if the network is still secure.

We can conduct a penetration test on your network, evaluating its security by simulating an attack by a cracker. The process involves an active analysis of the system for any weaknesses, technical flaws or vulnerabilities. This analysis is carried out from the position of a potential attacker, and can involve active exploitation of security vulnerabilities.

Any security issues that we find will be presented to you, together with an assessment of their possible impact and a technical solution.

We will assist you in setting up appropriate firewalls to keep potential hackers at bay, and we can advise you in the setting up of a security management system to monitor and manage your networks.
