Security Consultants
The challenge:
Offer comprehensive security testing services to clients and verify the efficacy of ongoing consulting engagements
As a security consultant, you’re constantly working to expand the scope of your engagements and offer your clients more detailed proof that your projects are delivering expected levels of protection and return on investment. You may even already offer security testing and auditing services, but seek to speed the delivery of that work and better demonstrate results to clients.
You’re likely already leveraging scanners, patch management applications and other tools to help identify potential holes in your clients’ defenses, but these products lack the ability to help you identify and prioritize these organizations’ most exploitable vulnerabilities across a broad range of IT and networking assets. Scanners provide lists of vulnerabilities, but they do not actively test these weak points to determine their severity or weed out potential false positives.
In addition, many of these tools, including penetration testing frameworks, demand a heavy load of customized work to garner detailed results about your customers’ overall security posture and communicate that information to clients in a way that helps them truly understand where their greatest risks lie and how your work is actively improving their standing.
To broaden the reach of your services, and increase your ability to prove the value of consulting engagements to clients, you need more automated and powerful technology that provides the widest range of detailed results and highlights the long-term benefits of retaining your expertise: You need to audit your clients’ defenses within the context of real-world threats: via comprehensive security testing.

Tap into a wealth of threat expertise
When you use CORE IMPACT products for security testing, you get more than just software applications; you get a culmination of ongoing, independent vulnerability research from some of the best minds in the business.
The CoreLabs research team filters hundreds of vulnerabilities per month to determine which pose critical threats to our customers. This analysis, combined the company’s own vulnerability discoveries and the Core Security Consulting group’s field experience, drives the development of real-world threat models by Core Engineering.
These threat models, in the form of exploits and other attack mechanisms, help to make CORE IMPACT the most comprehensive, effective security testing solution available today.
