Risk Assessments
The Garland Group provides a comprehensive and integrated understanding of your processes and technologies and how they impact your business operations. We identify ways to increase your effectiveness and efficiency while reducing your risks.
Social Engineering
Social engineering is a collection of techniques used to manipulate people into performing actions or divulging confidential information. Some people also call it ‘human hacking’. The term typically applies to trickery for information gathering or computer system access.
Penetration Testing
The penetration testing is engineered to analyze your presence on the Internet from more than just a Firewall Scan Approach. We review, text and document the presence of all of the Institution’s information in areas other than just the Internet interface. This scope of work characterizes the Institution network and firewall, and identifies potential security weaknesses in your presence on the Internet, email, online banking, and other IP services and protocols.
Vulnerability Assessments
Hackers are today’s common thieves. Being a victim of a intrusion attack can not only affect your network but could affect your business. We can conduct rigorous internal and external intrusion tests, analyze the vulnerabilities, and provide you with a report and assurance that your institution is safe and protected. Vulnerability scanning employs software that seeks out security flaws based on a data base of known flaws, testing internal systems and workstations for occurrence and generating a report of those flaws based on priority.
ATM Audits
ATM Networks (PULSE, STAR, NYCE, VISA, etc.) all abide by the American National Standard : X9.8, X9.24 and X3.92 documents. The TG-3 PIN Security and KEY Management Security Review is governed by these Standards.
e-Review Process
Our e-Review Process is an extremely helpful and money-saving tool for your company. We’re able to perform many of our services through using innovative technology without having to go on-site.
Collaboration
Any executive would admit that managing a successful organization is inherently a challenging undertaking. Whether determining the budget for the next year, deciding what markets to penetrate, what new products to launch, or how to increase customer service. Add to this our economy today, the growth of technology, crossing borders and the information age we live in and the challenge intensifies. Given these challenges it is of little surprise that businesses are relying on collaboration techniques to share resources, leverage the knowledge of their partners, and reduce costs.
The Garland Group understands this strategic shift and helps organizations to develop, implement and sharpen their collaboration techniques. Over the past 20 years we have developed our collaborative skills by utilizing them in our own organization. Partnerships have always been the cornerstone of our business philosophy. Today we leverage our knowledge and expertise in our Collaboration Consulting practice to help our clients engage with partners, shareholders, stakeholders and customers. Our services help provide the interaction needed to foster synergy, knowledge share, and growth within an enterprise.
