At a glance - Penetration testing and vulnerability assessment

Technology is utilized to support every facet of business operations today. Email communication, financial reporting and customer relationship management all utilize discrete technology solutions to ensure businesses operate efficiently and effectively. But what about securely? Most IT organizations prioritize the availability of IT services, with security considerations identified after new technology has been purchased and implemented.

Baker Tilly wants to change that mindset and encourages our clients to focus on security-by-design across their organization. First within the IT infrastructure, then within the systems and applications that support business operations and finally within the employees themselves.  

Baker Tilly’s attack and penetration testing services are strategically aligned to focus on what your business needs to know to better protect itself from outsider and insider threats.
