What is System Security Audit ?

A system security audit is a process of assessing the security of an organization's IT infrastructure, including its hardware, software, and network components. The purpose of a system security audit is to identify vulnerabilities in the IT systems that could be exploited by cyber attackers or malicious insiders to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data, disrupt business operations, or cause other forms of harm.

The audit typically involves a review of the organization's security policies and procedures, as well as a comprehensive assessment of its technical controls, such as firewalls, antivirus software, intrusion detection and prevention systems, access controls, and other security measures. The auditor may also conduct vulnerability scans and penetration tests to simulate cyber attacks and identify potential weaknesses in the IT systems.

The results of the system security audit are typically documented in a report that outlines the vulnerabilities and risks identified, along with recommendations for addressing them. Organizations can use this information to improve their security posture, strengthen their defenses against cyber threats, and better protect their sensitive data and assets.
