today the introduction of Hackers4Hire SNAPshot -- a "minimum hassle"<br />
US$199 audit probe that reports whether your network is vulnerable to<br />
prevailing types of threats. This simple but powerful service has been<br />
developed in response to numerous requests from CSCI clients and could<br />
become an integral part of their ongoing corporate Quality Assurance<br />
process. It is being offered world-wide to corporations, government<br />
agencies and financial institutions that must maintain sensitive data on<br />
their Web sites.</p>
<p>"Whether you are a Bank President, wishing to assure yourself that your<br />
organization's environment is secure, a CIO after having had implemented a<br />
new network configuration, a CFO ensuring that due diligence has been<br />
exercised and hence corporate liability is minimized, or a Webmaster after<br />
making changes to your site -- Hackers4Hire SNAPshot provides an excellent<br />
low cost alternative to frequent audits, to assure ongoing 'peace of<br />
mind'," said CSCI CEO Nahum Goldmann.</p>
<p>"Network and Web site security audit is only as good as its most recent<br />
vulnerability test, stated Mr. Goldmann. "With the increased vulnerability<br />
of global computer networks and the raising competitive pressure to provide<br />
services through the Internet, our clients need to ensure that the<br />
integrity of their data and that of their own customers is well preserved.<br />
Hence we made SNAPshot a completely automated service that can be<br />
conveniently activated, as often as the client wishes, by a client's<br />
request submitted through the Internet. Upon verification of registration,<br />
payment and authenticity of client's identity -- the client will receive a<br />
report that provides clear evidence whether their networks are indeed<br />
penetrable from the outside.</p>
<p>Hackers4Hire SNAPshot (see <a href="http://www.csci.ca/Snap/service.htm" title="http://www.csci.ca/Snap/service.htm">http://www.csci.ca/Snap/service.htm</a>) encompasses<br />
a well-focused set of Internet security tests that concentrate on the most<br />
frequent vulnerabilities typically exploited by hackers. Vulnerability<br />
exposure tests are conducted using powerful Internet auditing tools<br />
developed by CSCI, as well as with commercial probes optimized for the<br />
operational environment used by service clients.</p>
<p>A one-time probe of a Web site, Internet network and server, ordered by the<br />
client through the Internet, costs just US$199. To maintain the security of<br />
a network over the long run, sets of SNAPshot Quality Assurance tests can<br />
be purchased at significant savings. Thus, a Total Audit Plan that includes<br />
a comprehensive ADDSecur.net audit and report with subsequent monthly<br />
random series of Hackers4Hire SNAPshots that cover numerous different tests<br />
every time costs just US$3995.</p>
<p>Knowing that many leading media services currently lack adequate Internet<br />
defences, and are high profile targets to hackers, CSCI has announced a<br />
special free offer (valid until September 1, 1998, certain restrictions may<br />
apply) to test Web sites that belong to newspapers, magazines, television<br />
and other mass communication enterprises that are actively used for<br />
information dissemination through Internet. Each participating media outlet<br />
will be entitled to a free SNAPshot QA Test, providing it fills the<br />
SNAPshot Order Form (see <a href="http://www.csci.ca/cgi-bin/h4h-serv.pl" title="http://www.csci.ca/cgi-bin/h4h-serv.pl">http://www.csci.ca/cgi-bin/h4h-serv.pl</a>) and<br />
identify itself as a member of the media in the window "Questions/Other<br />
relevant information".</p>
<p>Ottawa-based CSCI has established itself as a leader in the computer<br />
security field, offering a number of highly innovative and customer driven<br />
security audit and certification solutions. CSCI's principal objective is<br />
to assist private corporations and public sector organizations in<br />
protecting their corporate image, intellectual assets, privacy of personal<br />
data entrusted to them by their clients and employees, and investments in<br />
