IT Security Audit of the AKB Homepage

How Secure is YOUR Homepage?
Website security and the associated risks is something that concerns every security officer. Companies whose electronic presence on the internet contains sensitive or even confidential information have begun performing regular IT security audits of these infrastructures. One of these companies was Aargauische Kantonalbank, which provides a lot of data and numerous applications on its website.

The Audit Report as an Assessment and Decision Base
The terreActive experts began looking at the components from the outside. They used the same tools and methods employed by sometimes malicious attackers, which enabled them to simulate an attack and to test the effectiveness of the integrated safety mechanisms.
The information from the test was then analysed, evaluated and documented in a comprehensive report. This report helps the customer assess the security level and to close possible security loopholes by taking the recommended measures.

Vulnerability Assessment Service
The part of the vulnerabilities inventory that serves as a basis for further analyses is now available as a new service. Under the name of “tacVUL – Vulnerability Assessment”, critical applications and internet services can be checked on a regular basis. The results are available to the user online. If you would like to learn more about this service, please contact us:
