The audit comprises of dynamic port scanning, network penetration testing and web application vulnerability testing. Whenever vulnerabilities are detected, alerts and remediation management is put into place. The HACKER SAFE logo and shield are provided when no vulnerabilities are found.

eBallot is a certified HACKER SAFE application . Daily rigorous audits ensure that highly effective, pro-active security standards are maintained at all times. The vulnerability auditing process tests eBallot to pass the FBI/SANS security tests as well as the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard requirements.

The advanced “intelligent” port-scanning technology is designed to track complex IP networks and allows monitoring of network devices and find unauthorized access or services over the network.

The penetration tests provide comprehensive testing of the Internet-facing systems and test for weaknesses or disclosure of information which could be used by attackers to compromise confidentiality, availability or integrity of the network.
