Penetration Testing

Testing is a crucial phase in the security process, where we undertake penetration testing – attempting to hack and breach systems using various personas (from web-hackers to rogue customers to malicious employees).

Independent Quality Assurance

We perform independent reviews of designs (both at the process, application and infrastructure layers) and code reviews

IT Security Training

Security Training - "Teaching the Good-Guys Bad-Tricks" In our experience, one of the most effective forms of defence is a holistic approach, get your developers and IT staff security aware, i.e. skill them up with ethical hacking techniques. We run both one and two day courses.

Daily Vulnerability Scans and Threat Assessment

Aura's RedEye Security service is a custom-built daily scan, targetted at either at your external website using our remote servers, or your internal networks using our RedBoxes, which scan all hosts within specified zones for security weaknesses.
