Internal Network Security Audits

The internal penetration-vulnerability test meets the independent security testing requirements of the FDIC, OCC, OTS, FRB, and NCUA as outlined in the Information Security booklet. The requirement states in part "High-risk systems should be subject to an independent diagnostic test at least once a year." Since your core application (customer confidential deposit and loan information) is on the network, your IT operation would be considered "high-risk."

When your financial institution needs an independent internal penetration-vulnerability test of your internal network, the Internal-VISTA penetration study is the answer to your internal security auditing needs.
