Test Your Security PC

Who really proved the security of networks? If you use a computer "on line" and is used to protect sensitive data should be stored to be tested for their safety. Although it is tempting to apply the patch, or have a request to protect the network, it's never that simple. Any company that has been thought hacked into your network was safe.
This could encourage hackers to a computer network or Web pages to attack? There are a variety of reasons. First, hackers could, after the customer's personal data including credit card information. A hacker can also search for a property of application software, trade secrets or corporation. In some cases, a computer attacked and destroyed the information of revenge if the striker feels he was unfairly by the company or a person within the company that the team has treated. There are also hacking into a computer system to try to blackmail the company, "or pay all the company information will be destroyed or made public." 

Why, if safety tests could be important? 
Peace of mind. Tests with appropriate security measures for companies with less chance of loss of customer credit information of a personal attack or identity theft or monetary that the company be held liable. Liability in these cases is a difficult thing because it concerned the interpretation of liability on how a company tries to protect its user base depends. 

How safety tests? In many cases, it does test their software applications, computer systems or network for vulnerabilities and no physical access is possible from outside the site. This can be advantageous because it keeps everyone, including customers, employees or competitors to know something happened and it allows them to draw wrong conclusions. The testers work off-site to connect to the network with the customer's permission, and then start designed with different applications for penetration testing. During the test the tester will check the network hardware and software of all known vulnerabilities or theoretical. The tester then all the results with possible recommendations and corrections known to the employer. 

So, for the reasons mentioned above and others who are not here to test the application security wise for all companies that have sensitive data stored on computers on the network? No matter how secure a system seems, there is no way to know for sure if you been through a full security review.
