- “Cloud computing is often far more secure than traditional computing, because companies like Google and Amazon can attract and retain cyber-security personnel of a higher quality than many governmental agencies.”
- The first rule of any technology used in a business is that automation applied to an efficient operation will magnify the efficiency. The second is that automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency.
- Technology... is a queer thing. It brings you great gifts with one hand, and it stabs you in the back with the other.
- Enterprises need to rapidly redesign themselves to be more responsive to changing customer needs.

Internal Security Audit
IT staff and business owners must stay ahead of increasing threats by hackers and insiders.
Internal Security Audit
The Problem: Controls Are Not Followed or Updated for New Threats
Most organizations now have security procedures and policies in place. One critical factor in the success of the security procedures and policies is how well they are being followed. Another critical factor is how often they are updated to cover new technologies and threats. Some of the reasons internal security must be regularly updated are:
- New threats are identified and new technologies created all the time
- Privacy laws exist in 50 countries and new laws are being created
- Data lost to employees can be just as damaging as data lost to outside hackers
- Mobile devices and social media are growing avenues for hacker access
- It takes one year to restore an organization’s reputation after a data breach¹
- The average loss in brand value after a breach is hundreds of millions¹
The Solution: Mercury Group Uganda Internal Security Audit
MGU’s Internal Security Audit is designed to identify data security and privacy risks and weak policies and controls. The audit is conducted both on- and off-site and covers a broad range of security checkpoints, including a review of the Active Directory, network security, data security, data access, hardened passwords, security polices, PC policies, server policies, and USB drive policies.
Mercury Group Uganda will review your policies and practices and then provide recommendations for the proper courses of action for any required improvements or additions.

External Intrusion and Penetration Testing
Today penetration testing (pen testing) is one of the most important investments that you can make to protect your network.
The Problem: External Intrusion and Penetration
External intrusion and penetration is one of the silent stalkers on the Internet. External hackers can penetrate your network and not leave a trace that indicates they have stolen your intellectual property or private information. In fact, they can render your computers and network completely useless without your knowledge.
Penetration from the outside can result in loss of intellectual property, identity theft, and data theft to loss of network control. Sadly, the way the laws are written make your company responsible for damages resulting from these security breaches.
Statistically there is a very good chance that your outward-facing IP addresses are being scanned right now and are secretly susceptible to unwanted penetration. You may be the low-hanging fruit that they are looking for.
There are thousands of methods that hackers use to penetrate your network, including DDOS attacks, SYN-FIN attacks, Port 0 attacks, SQL injections, Heartbleed attacks, and forbidden site attacks…the list goes on and on.
The Solution: Mercury Group Uganda Vulnerability Analysis
Mercury Group Uganda will run extensive vulnerability analysis on your outward-facing IP addresses to determine what weaknesses exist and what routes external hackers can use to obtain access to your computers, networks, and data.
- This analysis is non-invasive and we do not have to be onsite to perform the tests.
- A component of this analysis includes PCI compliance testing to also ensure that your network is PCI compliant.
- We will provide you with hard copy reports listing all security weaknesses.
Mercury Group Uganda’s analysis will pin-point all external weaknesses that exist for your outward-facing network. If we locate any weaknesses, we can recommend solutions to close your security holes.
