Security is an insatiable inherent risk, not only because technology continues to change, but because your business, your people, and your strategy are changing too. Keeping up with security trends, risks, and technology is more than a full time job. We have the experience and expertise to assist you with assessing, strategizing and implementing a security framework that "makes sense" for your business, and prevents you from falling behind.

Our IT Security service offerings include:

Digital Forensics

Digital Forensics is the "art" of acquiring, restoring, and assessing data and information that exists on computer hardware and / or related software. Incident Response services encompass the identification and analysis of evidence related to hacking attempts, fraud, embezzlement, misconduct, etc., as well as forensic evidence collection / retention utilizing formal evidence handling and chain of custody procedures. Additionally, our Digital Forensic tools can perform declassification of digital media.

Vulnerability Assessment

A vulnerability assessment represents a detailed-level analysis of a client's IT security posture and covers internal and/or external networks, systems, and applications. Based on the specific requirements of the client, the IT security services team will use a variety of tools and techniques to identify, map, and gather information on vulnerabilities that exist on the network. Accretive Solutions provides many assessment types and methodology including:

• Application Vulnerability
• Network Vulnerability

Attack & Penetration Testing

Penetration testing is used to simulate techniques and attacks used by hackers to attempt to gain access to client networks and data. This is also referred to as "ethical hacking". Attack & Penetration Testing services provide insight into an organization's level of security from a remote location. Accretive Solutions' security methodology simulates a true attacker perspective related to an organization's security posture and the extent to which vulnerabilities can be exploited. In addition to external penetration testing, Accretive Solutions provides internal penetration testing and assessment.
