BOISE, IDAHO, USA, February 11, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- IT Governance, the global cybersecurity experts, offers regular penetration tests to businesses across the United States that help ensure their websites and networks are secure against cyber attacks.

“Regular vulnerability scans and penetration testing are a fundamental part of monthly and quarterly security checking,” says Alan Calder, founder and executive chairman of IT Governance. “These scans ensure that you can identify and fix vulnerabilities and security holes as quickly as possible, and that your cyber controls are working as effectively as they need to, offering you peace of mind.”

With 783 reported data breaches in the US in 2014 and the Obama administration making cybersecurity a priority, US businesses are being urged to review their cybersecurity practices.

Penetration testing involves simulating a malicious attack on an organization’s information security arrangements, using a combination of methods and tools that must be conducted by a certified, ethical penetration tester. The findings from the report provide evidence upon which cybersecurity measures can be improved.

Effective penetration testing provides greater levels of confidence in security, increased awareness of improvements needed, and a reduction in IT costs over the long term.

IT Governance is a CREST member company, which means that it has been verified as meeting the rigorous standards mandated by CREST, the not-for-profit organization that regulates the technical services industry.
