Lost & Found
Challenge
Servionix was requested to perform a network assessment audit for an internet service provider. To the customer’s surprise, we found some vulnerable outdated hardware that was still providing VPN access to internal networks. The equipment had been marked as decommissioned five years ago yet was never powered-off and eventually forgotten. As a result, the customer was facing a potential cyber security risk from a piece of outdated, vulnerable network equipment that provided unmonitored VPN access to the internal network. The company was also running unnecessary costs of direct and indirect electricity consumption (power-on and air conditioning, respectively).
