Sentient IT LLC has the technical and management expertise to help small to mid-size companies secure their network and data. Our methodology is of a top down approach. Sentient IT LLC partnering with its clients, will begin by defining a clear definition of what data is considered sensitive or non-sensitive. Once information is effectively classified, Sentient IT LLC will create processes and select technologies that allow its clients - your business - to flow smoothly while at the same time assuring that data is protected, secured and is only accessible on a need to know basis.
Our range of information security consulting includes some of the following services:
Penetration Testing - Penetration Testing is the service also referred to as Ethical Hacking. In a penetration test, the SentientIT testers will identify known vulnerabilities in your external or internal networks and applications. Our clients require penetration tests to be performed on a variety of targets like the following:
- Application Penetration Testing
- Network Penetration Testing
- Wireless Network Penetration Testing
- Social Engineering Testing
Firewall Security Reviews - A firewall security review is a detailed analysis and test of a firewall that has been implemented to protect clients information, applications ,systems and overall business operations. A firewall security review examines vulnerabilities associated with a specific vendors solution, susceptibility of the firewall to focused connection and information driven attacks and exploits, and miss-configurations that allow an attacker to overcome specific firewall protections.
Firewalls are complex systems that by their function restrict or grant network connectivity to and from the Internet for a company. The very process to configure and modify firewalls to support dynamic business requirements introduces the risk of permitting unintentional and potentially harmful access into or out of an organizations network. Firewalls that are initially set up, configured and patched undergo constant change to support evolving business needs. The risks, threats and impacts of changes tend not to be fully considered particularly when business timelines and commitments become immediate. Firewall security reviews help the organization to verify that their firewalls adequately protect critical business information and data as required. Firewall reviews are a key requirement within a number of industry related standards and regulations, such as PCI and HIPAA.
External Network Vulnerability Assessment - An external vulnerability assessment identifies vulnerabilities from outside the network that could allow denial-of-service attacks or unauthorized access.
SentientIT LLC offers external vulnerability assessments that are designed to look at the environment from the public view, that is, from the outside looking in. This is one of the first lines of defense for security on most networks. During this assessment we will identify vulnerabilities with systems that may allow us access to the private parts of your network, allow us to perform a denial of service on your network or obtain information from your private network that should not be available on the outside of your unprotected network. If vulnerabilities are identified from the external view of your network you may choose to then initiate a penetration test.
Internal Network Vulnerability Assessment and Security Review - The purpose of an Internal Network Vulnerability Assessment is to perform an audit of network resources to identify possible security risks within the perimeter of your network.

This approach allows SentientIT to provide clear and proven recommendations to assist the organization in making effective and sometimes necessary architecture enhancements.
