Abstract

To answer the security needs of the market, a preferred embodiment was developed. The preferred embodiment provides real-time network security vulnerability assessment tests, possibly complete with recommended security solutions. External vulnerability assessment tests may emulate hacker methodology in a safe way and enable study of a network for security openings, thereby gaining a true view of risk level without affecting customer operations. Because this assessment may be performed over the Internet, both domestic and worldwide corporations benefit. The preferred embodiment's physical subsystems combine to form a scalable holistic system that may be able to conduct tests for thousands of customers any place in the world. The security skills of experts may be embedded into the preferred embodiment systems and automated the test process to enable the security vulnerability test to be conducted on a continuous basis for multiple customers at the same time. The preferred embodiment can reduce the work time required for security practices of companies from three weeks to less than a day, as well as significantly increase their capacity. Component subsystems typically include a Database, Command Engine, Gateway, multiple Testers, Report Generator, and an RMCT.
