Ahoy, mateys! Ready to embark on a cyber security adventure?  

Imagine your network as a mighty ship sailing through the digital seas. To ensure smooth sailing, you need to check for holes in the hull and make sure all your equipment is working perfectly.  

That's where our Cyber Security Assessment comes in, combining penetration testing and Fortinet's Cyber Threat Assessment Program (CTAP) to keep your ship in tip-top shape. 

What is penetration testing? 

Penetration testing, or "pen testing" as it’s more commonly known, is a simulated cyber attack used to identify vulnerabilities in a system before they can be exploited. Carrying out regular pen testing helps businesses strengthen their security defences. 

How does penetration testing work at Nasstar? 

Pen testing at Nasstar is carried out across four key stages with our partner, Norm Cyber.  

Checking for holes in the hull: Just like a ship needs to be free of holes to stay afloat, your network needs to be free of vulnerabilities to stay secure. Penetration testing is like a thorough inspection of your ship's hull, looking for any weaknesses that could let water (or cyber threats) in. 

Controlled exploitation: Our expert ethical hackers simulate real-world attacks, testing your defences like seasoned sailors checking for leaks. 

Comprehensive assessments: From external and internal networks to web applications, we leave no plank unturned. Our experts thoroughly assess every inch of your cyber security defences. 

Detailed reporting: Once our checks are complete, we provide actionable recommendations to patch up any holes and ensure your ship is unsinkable. 

The Cyber Threat Assessment Program (CTAP) 

As a longstanding Fortinet partner, we are proud to offer the Cyber Threat Assessment Program, enabling us to validate your security and network architecture. Not only does this program support your security efforts, but it will also provide you with a business case you can present to business leaders, demonstrating why your cyber security projects are critical. 

The Fortinet CTAP covers four key areas.  

Ensuring equipment efficiency: Now that you have confirmed your hull is secure with our pen testing services, it's time to make sure all your equipment is working perfectly. CTAP is like a meticulous check of your ship's gear, ensuring everything from the sails to the navigation systems is functioning as it should. 

Network traffic analysis: CTAP monitors your network traffic without disrupting operations, just like checking the ship's instruments while sailing. 

Vulnerability identification: We use CTAP to pinpoint weaknesses in your equipment, generating detailed reports on critical findings. 

Non-disruptive: The entire CTAP program happens seamlessly, making sure your ship continues to sail smoothly. 

What are the key benefits of pen testing and CTAP? 

We all know that bolstering cyber security is important, especially in a world where new threats are emerging every day. But understanding the true benefits of pen testing and Fortinet’s Cyber Threat Assessment Program are what will set you apart and allow your business to thrive. 

Peace of mind: Sail confidently knowing your network is secure and your equipment is efficient. 

Proactive defence: Identify and mitigate vulnerabilities before they become threats. 

Expert guidance: Benefit from the wisdom of cyber security experts who know the ropes. 

Cost-effective: Prevent costly incidents and downtime with proactive measures.
