External Vulnerability Assessment

External Vulnerability Assessment ("EVA") is a security risk management service provided by acxell to identify areas of potential weakness in services, network topology, polices, procedures and system configuration. As Gramm-Leach Bliley ("GLB"), Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPPA for Health Information Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, and the USA PATRIOT Act require institutions to implement safeguards to protect customer information against unauthorized access, acxell offers an economically priced service that meets and surpasses the regulatory reporting standard.

acxell’s approach includes a comprehensive security assessment customized to the Bank’s IT environment, with professionals that utilize both proprietary and commercial tools to identify vulnerabilities and potential exploits to critical systems within your institution.

acxell utilizes the same tools and techniques as malicious attackers, along with proprietary technology and intellectual capital to determine whether such attackers could penetrate your network and systems and – more importantly - how. 

Our EVA service is a controlled network attack simulation that provides a snapshot of your institution’s security posture as seen from a designated external location. The resulting identification of potential exposures within the organization’s network are summarized and evaluated on a risk assessment basis to help develop an effective information security program.
