Technology / Network Assessments

Like most organizations, your entity is constantly evolving to keep pace with changing demands. Along with new systems, applications and tools, comes the new threat of insecure networks, faulty safeguards and undetected intrusions. Even existing systems, in place for years, will often have numerous security faults or worse. The US government estimates less than 5% of all cyber intrusions are ever detected. Would you know if your information systems were violated or compromised?

Both internal networks and external access points can be critical weak links. NICOR Global offers a comprehensive program to evaluate your information infrastructure and provide a mechanism to protect your information systems. We can develop a strategic plan to be certain that your intellectual property remains proprietary.

Cyber Threat

The threat of cyber attack (be it warfare, terrorism, or criminal) has been identified by the United States government as one of the most dangerous issues facing our nation and its economic infrastructure. Every year, the number of attacks on US information systems increase over the prior year's average.  It is in the news every day -- the Pentagon, Congressmen, countries, and corporations.  How prepared is your organization to face a malicious cyber attack - from outside intruders or inside sources?

Since September 11, 2001 numerous government agencies have identified a new wave of cyber attacks as a growing concern for both public and private enterprises. (For more updated information see our Cyber Briefs & Updates) From Denial of Service (DOS) bombardments and insidious new viruses to code hacking and data destruction, NICOR Global is well suited to identify potential threats and assist your entity in creating strategic security plans.  We can identify weaknesses, implement corrective actions, provide written guidelines, conduct training seminars, conduct technology or network assessment and work with your staff, training employees to minimize and eliminate specific threats.

If an intrusion or cyber attack is suspected or has been detected, we can respond rapidly to mitigate damage, terminate access points and effectuate a counter strategy.  A senior NICOR Global representative highly trained in counter measures is available.
