LAN Security Assessment (LANSA)

Internal vulnerability analysis and penetration testing to ensure user LANs—including desktops, workstations, laptops, LAN servers, and other LAN-connected devices—are properly secured. Illumant performs comprehensive internal testing of corporate LAN systems from behind firewalls, validating layered security and defense-in-depth strategies. The LANSA identifies vulnerabilities affecting multiple similar systems (e.g., desktops) and highlights systems that are exceptionally vulnerable by comparison.


Highlights

  • Baseline scanning to identify vulnerabilities and security risks.
  • Use of leading open-source and commercial vulnerability assessment tools.
    • Tools are combined strategically to minimize individual tool limitations and leverage their combined strengths.
  • Manual validation to confirm findings and eliminate false positives.
  • Additional manual testing to uncover vulnerabilities missed by automated scanning.
  • Penetration testing with custom-designed and known exploits to determine actual severity.
    • Illumant continually enhances its manual testing and penetration testing methodologies through ongoing research and participation in cybersecurity communities and events (e.g., BlackHat, DEFCON, SANS).
  • Severity classification of vulnerabilities.
  • Practical remediation recommendations.
  • Benchmark comparison against industry standards.

Targets

Comprehensive, unfiltered analysis from within firewall boundaries, targeting LAN components such as:

  • Desktops
  • Workstations
  • Laptops
  • LAN servers
  • Network switches
  • Printers
  • Other LAN-connected devices
  • Analysis includes identification of over 100,000 known vulnerabilities, as well as unique vulnerabilities arising from customized system designs, configurations, and software.
