As a vendor-independent security specialist, ACS is perfectly positioned to undertake objective external assessment of the measures you have in place to protect your network. with particular emphasis on potential areas of weakness such as virtual private networks (VPN), your web site and any common routes for unauthorised access, such as email and instant messenger applications.
