- Injection attacks
- Insecure cryptographic storage
- Cross-site scripting (XSS)
- Weak security controls for URLs
- Broken authentication and session management
- Shared hosting vulnerabilities
- Insecure direct object references
- Sensitive data exposure
- Cross-site request forgery (CSRF)
- Weak application logic
- Security misconfiguration
Data Center Systems Assessment
Crystal-Clear Insights Into Your Data Center: Wildcard Cybersecurity's Data Center Systems Assessment involves a meticulous evaluation of your data center or network closet, both on-site and off-site. We provide recommendations for maximizing availability, reducing costs, improving efficiency, and safeguarding your data from potential risks.
Our assessment includes:

- Conducting automated scans to detect systems operating with default or predictable passwords.
Internet Connection Assessment
Stay Connected Securely: Internet connection assessments, encompassing both wired and wireless access points, are adapted to your organization's needs based on initial evaluations of your network structure. Our assessments rate your service provider (ISP) against best practices for data security, reliability, speed, and uptime.
Specifically evaluated and tested aspects include:
- Security evaluations for direct and remote access control
- Vulnerability assessments to guard against third-party interception
Local Area Network Assessment
Bulletproof Security From Within: Our Local Area Network Assessment provides an internal view of your organization's security posture. We utilize Remote Access Tools (RAT) designed for both security and flexibility during engagements. The RAT acts as a secure gateway into your network, ensuring data integrity.
Our assessment is conducted in four stages:
- Identifying Data and Assets
- Identifying Threats
- Assessing Risk
- Evaluating Current Controls
We prioritize protecting your sensitive information throughout the assessment process.
Wide Area Network Assessment
Weeding Out Weaknesses: Wildcard Cybersecurity's Wide Area Network Assessment focuses on identifying vulnerabilities related to network topology and configuration. This testing involves deliberate attacks to pinpoint weak areas that could provide unauthorized access to malicious users, potentially compromising system integrity.
Our approach aligns with your organization's security and risk management objectives.
Penetration Testing
Discover and Mitigate Weaknesses: Penetration testing demonstrates the potential consequences of IT security issues, helping your organization understand the seriousness of vulnerabilities. We identify and assess IT security issues, allowing your organization to become aware of potential dangers.
Vulnerability Assessment
Understanding Your Strengths and Weaknesses: Vulnerability assessment services help gauge strengths and weaknesses within your organization's IT infrastructure. We identify security holes related to cyber threats and provide diagnostic evaluations for devices, applications, and networks. Our experts offer guidance on areas for improvement.
Basic Cybersecurity Controls Assessment
Starting With Security Fundamentals: Our Basic Cybersecurity Controls Assessment detects hidden weaknesses by proactively identifying insecure architecture, misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and errors. We ensure that security controls are effectively implemented and working as expected.
