Is your network secure and protected enough?
As businesses increasingly rely on technology, they become more vulnerable to cyberattacks. Cyberattacks can lead to data breaches, loss of confidential information, and reputational damage. With that in mind, it's crucial to take steps to protect your business from a potential cyberattack.
The following are a few things you should know about protecting your business against cyber attacks.
Cybercrime is on the rise around the world, with huge year-over-year increases in both the number of attacks and their severity. Even a single data breach can cost a business millions of dollars, often resulting in its downfall. In fact, there's no such thing as "too secure."
Many companies rely entirely on passive software-based scanning, anti-virus, and anti-malware systems to keep themselves safe from data attacks. Unfortunately, these types of scans are only part of the solution.
Cyberattacks today are so sophisticated that they surpass the ability of passive anti-virus scanners to detect them. It’s why you need to take additional measures to identify all potential security holes.
The best way to know the capabilities of your defense is in a true "live fire" situation. A live fire situation refers to an environment where you test your systems against known cyberattacks. Known as a "penetration test," this allows you to identify any gaps or weaknesses in your system before a real attack occurs.
A penetration test is a deliberately controlled intrusion on your systems, using the same tools and techniques actual cybercriminals use, revealing any weaknesses and allowing you to fill in those security gaps before it's too late.
Our team of security experts specializes in studying the methods of actual cybercriminals. Using these techniques in a controlled way, we can conduct a broad-spectrum holistic intrusion attack on your systems, looking for any weak points. If we can get in, the criminals can as well. But, we'll tell you where those weak points are and how to fix them!
From the beginning, we have had a strong security focus here at Hummingbird Networks. The cost of data breaches to individual businesses, as well as society at large, is simply too high. We want to do everything we can to keep our clients secure and encourage smart security measures in the IT industry.
We are up-to-date on the latest attack techniques and vectors, integrating that knowledge into our own security work. With Hummingbird Networks as your security partner, you can have greater faith in your defenses and be far better prepared for an attack.
Hummingbird Networks wants to help as many possible customers improve their security and boost their defenses against illicit cyberattacks. When your business assets are on the line, as well as countless amounts of private information,we're serious about keeping you safe.
With Hummingbird as your security partner, you can gain the following:
The stronger your preventative, detection, and remediation strategies are, the safer and more reliable your network is – it's just that simple.
The results from a Hummingbird penetration test include greater uptime (which refers to the percentage of time your systems are available and working correctly), more reliable networks, and less of the incredibly expensive cleanup costs and reputation damages associated with data breaches.
An increasing number of industries and types of data are falling under federal regulations such as HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, and PCI. A penetration test can help identify whether you're fully in compliance with these and other data-handling regulations.
By remaining in compliance, you’ll prevent needless fines and legal action. Just because you comply, it doesn't mean you're secure. We can identify potential security vulnerabilities and help you address them to improve both your security and your regulatory compliance.
A major data breach can be extremely damaging to a company's reputation, potentially costing it business for years into the future. Some companies never fully recover from a breach, particularly if it is extensive enough. A Hummingbird penetration test is one of your best solutions for maintaining your company’s reputation and protecting your assets.

Our penetration testing services can help you uncover any vulnerabilities in your system before anyone can exploit them. Be sure to contact us today to learn more about our penetration testing and other services.
No. Our technicians understand how to penetrate into network systems safely, causing no actual damage or disruption. In addition, we have iron-clad guarantees in place so that any data we access will be handled with the strictest confidence and security.
Our methods are safe because we simply simulate the intrusion, not the actual damage caused by one. Your safety is our #1 priority in any security test completed by our Hummingbird experts.
Ideally, everyone. Cybercrime has expanded to where even minor businesses cannot consider themselves too small for an attack. As we've seen from recent widespread attacks, like the WannaCry ransomware outbreak, everyone is at risk.
However, a penetration test would be most useful in situations where a business is deploying a new network or making major infrastructure changes, such as adding their first remote office or adding branch offices. In these cases, we can run the tests during network implementation, and make solid security recommendations before it goes live - saving both time and money.
We employ the latest known techniques to give your systems the most realistic test possible. Depending on your needs, our penetration tests can include:
Automated tests – using bots and other "robotic" attack systems that rely on overwhelming a target's defenses.
Manual attacks – with actual technicians leveraging years of security knowledge to directly crack your defenses.
Internal attack testing – simulating the damage a disgruntled employee with existing access could cause, while looking for mitigation strategies.
Aware or unaware testing – you can choose to have your staff be "in the know" about the test to validate their security protocols, or not. By making them unaware, you can blind-test your staff’s capabilities.
Upgrades and deployment – if desired, we can help you choose the right hardware and software to increase your security, then handle deployment to ensure it's done correctly.
Protecting your business’ assets is crucial in the modern age –that's where Hummingbird Networks comes in. We specialize in helping businesses safeguard their networks and data against intrusion, theft, and damage.
If there was any hesitation in answering that question than a penetration test is an immediate need for you. Cyber attacks are becoming more sophisticated and more frequent and anyone can be the next victim. Our penetration test will reveal any security gaps and weaknesses allowing you to fully secure your assets.
