Because a network assessment will only discover hardware & software issues, this type of assessment won’t address the real issue. Understanding how the network is configured, accessing application licensing and evalulating server specifications are important but an assessment should demonstrate how likely an interuption or breach would occur and what would the impact be.
Like
in the scenario of a plane crash, the impact will be high. Human
life will be lost and certainly the company will be interrupted.

Sklar Technology provides Complete Risk Assessments. Passwords, firewall's
and virus protection all provide necessary protection but what about detection
and rapid response when the protection is not enough or fails to
work? Security is not software, hardware
or a policy; rather, it is a discipline
that will proactively protect and detect threats to your network and the
data stored on it. We strive to be a complete security solutions provider
to help businesses address this important issue; the assessment is the first
step to a secure environment.
