Team of Ethical Hackers Highlight CSC’s Information Security Capabilities
Information security is more important than ever and assessing computer and network vulnerabilities ranks as one of the most pressing issues for technology professionals. With a comprehensive range of offerings, CSC is one of the industry leaders in information security services.
Team of ethical hackers deployed to identify network weaknesses
Two recent articles provide insight into how organizations are using ethical hacking as a tool against internal and external security threats.
It Takes a Hacker appeared in The Wall Street Journal as part of a special report on workplace security. The article examines the importance of vulnerability assessments and highlights CSC’s role as a leader in the information security field.
The article also describes how CSC engineers use our proprietary Hydra Expert Assessment Technology (H.E.A.T.SM) Toolkit to conduct comprehensive scans of a client’s computer network to isolate vulnerabilities and identify security holes. The story provides details on how H.E.A.T. analyzes all of the hardware and software attached to a network, including operating systems and Web server software.
The Hacker on Your Side, includes a first-hand account of how an ethical hacker broke into a corporate network as part of a vulnerability assessment. The feature is authored by James Chapple, a computer scientist principal for security at CSC, and a member of CSC’s team of full-time ethical hackers.
CSC draws upon extensive experience in information security
Presently, more than 1,000 CSC information security experts, including 40 full-time "ethical hackers," support clients in Europe, North America, Australia, Africa and Asia. Services include consulting, architecture and integration, evaluation and assessment, deployment and operations, and training.
The deployment of ethical hackers to test the vulnerability of computer networks is one of the many ways CSC can help clients deal with ongoing security threats. Leveraging more than 30 years of experience in the information security field, CSC provides a wide range of security services to clients in both government and the commercial sector.
Through its Global Information Security Services (GISS), CSC offers services that cover the entire spectrum of information and infrastructure protection. GISS delivers packaged services through CyberCareSM, its enterprise information risk management line of service.
