Penetration Testing

Services

We help your organization identify risks and threats to the security of your digital resources and assets before a malicious entity can harm your infrastructure. Through a controlled penetration test of your digital resources, our professional team can highlight your defenses' shortcomings and help you create more secure, manageable, and flexible digital frameworks for your business.

What is a Penetration Test?

A Penetration Test (or pen test) is a simulated attack on your digital systems that attempts to access your IT resources using the same tools that a malicious hacker might utilize to undermine your infrastructure. By executing such a controlled attack, our teams can help your organization identify weak points in the security of your digital infrastructure and deliver an in-depth analysis of how you can vamp up your defenses to protect your assets against any future attacks or hacking attempts.

How is A Pen-Test Conducted?

A penetration test can take various forms. The most common method of executing a penetration test is called the white box technique. Using this method, an external auditor from our team is given a target to obtain within your IT infrastructure, which can be a digital resource or asset. They are given some preliminary information regarding your framework.

They are given some preliminary information regarding your framework. The auditor then executes a controlled attack to identify weaknesses in your system and vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit to gain access to your infrastructure. The auditor then reports his findings and analysis, complete with a list of suggestions to your organization through which you can improve your security and cover the weak points we find.

Types of Penetration Tests

Through this method, a professional from our team works with your internal IT teams to identify vulnerabilities and weak points in your system by executing simulated attacks and attempts to breach your online security. The auditor will attempt to insert or manipulate content on your website or system and may attempt to modify the connected databases.
Through this method, our auditors are given access to specific internal resources connected to your system, after which they simulate an internal attack that attempts to judge your system security against an attack from a malicious individual inside the organization.
Using this method, an external auditor from our team is not given any preliminary information regarding your resources other than the company name and specific prior knowledge that allows the auditor to identify and access your systems. The auditor must then try to access your IT resources using tools available to them to identify weak points in the system.
This method can be used to add another layer of anonymity and real-world simulation by keeping your internal teams uninformed of the imminent controlled attack. This is called a double-blind test and has the added benefit of being able to judge the preparedness of your internal teams in the case of a malicious attack or hacking attempt.

The Penetration Testing Process

The process is executed using the following strategy:

The auditor begins by collecting freely accessible information regarding your company and online resources through tools available to them. Based on the gathered information, the auditor designs a strategy for the penetration test.
The auditor then begins executing a few simple simulated attacks to judge the response of your defenses to intrusion and hacking attempts. Based on this examination, the auditor can adjust their strategy and mount a full-fledged scan of the system.
The auditor then mounts the attack against your online resources using the strategy they have generated and tries to gain access to your critical IT infrastructure using a variety of methods that may be used by hackers and other malicious entities in a real-world scenario.
Once the auditor has established access to your resources, they then begin to try to manipulate your resources to judge individual security measures and the additional layers of security that might be deployed throughout your IT infrastructure. This includes initiation of processes such as Privilege escalation and Pivoting as well.
The auditor may then try to push farther into your system to identify all weak points and vulnerabilities. After this, the auditor prepares a detailed analysis of your security measures and digital defenses, including points for improvement and aspects that require immediate attention.

Benefits of Penetration Testing

  • Identifying vulnerabilities and weak points in your system which malicious individuals can manipulate.
  • Judging the response of your internal teams in the case of an attack on your systems.
  • Assessing the strength of your digital security measures and IT defenses against attacks.
