Apex’s team of security specialists partnered with a digital defense organization to provide service-based scanning techniques employed to survey the security posture of the target IP-based systems and networks. These scans proactively tested for known vulnerabilities and the existence of mainstream industry practice security configurations.

Vulnerability assessment engineers worked as part of an on-site team in a government security operations center (SOC) environment. These engineers supported the government entity in performing security policies to execute network discovery and prioritization, vulnerability assessment, risk rating, threat correlation, asset-based remediation management, and measurement and reporting.

Implementation included confirmation and recommendation of a scanning solution that met the requirements of the government entity’s IT Security Office.  Apex’s solution also offered customized reporting management and progress tracking of remediation efforts to security vulnerability.  ArcSight was also implemented within the enterprise environment to audit complex ASA firewall configurations.
