ELY, UK, March 13, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- IT Governance Ltd, the fast-growing cyber security services provider and a CREST member company, has announced a 20% discount on its CREST-accredited pen testing services if booked before 28 March 2014.

The IT Governance penetration testing team emphasises that pen testing should be conducted regularly, to detect recently discovered, previously unknown vulnerabilities. It should be undertaken after deployment of new infrastructure and applications as well as after major changes to infrastructure and applications (e.g. changes to firewall rules, updating of firmware, patches and upgrades to software).

Geraint Williams, QSA and Senior Consultant at IT Governance, says: “The majority of organisations still fail to understand why pen testing is so crucial. Let’s put it this way: you wouldn’t leave the front door of your house open so that anyone could come in. In the same way, you shouldn’t be allowing weaknesses in your infrastructure to be exploited by cyber criminals and your systems to be penetrated.

“It is hard to get visibility of vulnerabilities in your systems and processes. Whilst a visual check of your house will identify any open windows and doors, for improved cyber security you need to have vulnerability assessments and penetration testing conducted to truly understand the problems within your organisation.”

IT Governance offers a series of fixed-price, consultant-driven penetration tests (Level 1) that are aimed at testing specific vulnerabilities within a predetermined scope, that an organisation could be exposed to. These tests are:

• Infrastructure Penetration Test
• Web Application Penetration Test
• Wireless Network Penetration Test
• Combined Infrastructure and Web Application Penetration Test
• Employee Phishing Vulnerability Assessment

Organisation can take advantage of the 20% discount on IT Governance’s CREST-accredited pen testing services by booking online, phoning +44 (0) 845 070 1750 or by sending an email to servicecentre@itgovernance.co.uk.
