INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Every organization, regardless of specific industry, is facing similar and ever-increasing network
and inter-network related security threats. Cyber attacks are making headlines every day and
have evolved into frequent and costly incidents with a significant number of businesses
becoming victim of at least one data breach in the past year. According to the Ponemon
Institute, "the chances of an organization being hacked in a 12-month period is a statistical
certainty and businesses of every type and size are vulnerable to attacks." Reputation damage
is the biggest fear for all organizations as the costs of an actualized security incident can be
very steep and damaging to both the enterprise, customers, and third-party associates. Knowing
exactly what is going on inside the network is more important than ever. How well is your
enterprise protected against security threats and malicious malware?

solutions since 2003 and has taken great pride in providing best-of-breed security solutions to

is our business and our customers are our greatest asset.
Tactical FLEX, Inc. also performs security audits and vulnerability assessments and has
identified a wide scope of critical vulnerabilities that expose organizations to external and
internal breaches. Our network security auditing and vulnerability assessment services allow
enterprises of any size to identify critical security vulnerabilities that attackers could exploit. We
have developed a unique system of public and proprietary tools to perform as many as 25,000
security tests on targeted systems. These attacks are performed by our advanced scanning
engine that tests and re-tests each exploit to ensure minimal false positives are reported and
maximum assessment accuracy is achieved. Manual techniques are employed when necessary
to ensure full real-word focus.
THE TACTICAL FLEX, INC. DIFFERENCE
Unique Real-World Experience: Tactical FLEX, Inc. information security analysts have
specialized skills and extensive knowledge about attack vectors and have led numerous
intrusion investigations. Our assessments are among the most thorough and comprehensive
found anywhere in the world. We gather real-world attacker techniques observed during incident
response engagements and continuously develop and update tools and methodologies to reflect
the most current threat environment.
Client-Specific Assessments and Audits: Tactical FLEX, Inc. designs each assessment and
network security audit to meet the objectives and needs of each client. Assessments go well
beyond commercially or publicly available vulnerability scanning tools; they mirror the tactics,
techniques, and procedures attackers utilize as they attempt to penetrate a client’s network.

3. Actionable Recommendations with Quick Turnaround Time: Tactical FLEX, Inc. provides
clients with actionable recommendations, ongoing best practices to avoid future threats, and
comprehensive reporting that will be generated and available within 10 business days from the
completion of the testing phase of the assessment. All findings are rated based upon their risk,
probability of exploitation, and the potential business risk. This allows clients to focus their
efforts on addressing network security issues that are most critical.
PROACTIVE SECURITY ASSESSMENTS
As cyber threats becomes more sophisticated, network security audits are critical to
understanding how well your organization is protected against evolving security threats on an
ongoing basis. Our in-depth and comprehensive approach adds value to your enterprise by
discovering weaknesses before they become a significant issue. Early detection of threats to
your network enables you to proactively address them thereby reducing risk across your
enterprise and avoiding the cost of potential security breaches. According to Ponemon
Institute’s Data Breach Report, data breach incidents cost companies $204 per compromised
record. Heavily regulated fields including healthcare, finance, and pharmaceutical companies
incurred breach costs 70% higher than other industries. Given organizations with strong security
posture and incident response plan experienced breach cost less than others.
