Penetration Testing

We offer a variety of Penetration Testing services to help our clients better manage risk to the IT infrastructure and applications.

Hackers are constantly searching the internet for vulnerabilities, therefore Penetration testing, also known as pen testing or authorised hacking is a process used by ethical hackers to evaluate, pinpoint, and address security flaws in an organization’s IT infrastructure.

By simulating actual cyberattacks, our Certified Security Analysts provide personalised Penetration Testing services. Different operational methods of penetration testing, such as White Box, Black Box, and Grey Box Penetration Testing, are available as service.

We support businesses in determining the robustness of their security controls and ensuring the safety of their infrastructure. For many regulatory standards, particularly those like PCI DSS and HIPAA, penetration testing is a critical and mandatory exercise. It enables enterprise IT departments to verify their current security procedures and aids management in setting investment priorities for corrective actions or mitigation.

Penetration Testing Methodology

Information Gathering & Network Discovery - We gather information on all unsecure services, active hosts and services, OS fingerprinting, services and links, and internet usage related to this, among other things.

Penetration Testing Methedology

Scanning And Enumeration - Port scanning, service detection, and OS fingerprints are all parts of the scanning and enumeration process used in pen tests.

Gaining Access - Assessing vulnerabilities and exploiting discovered risks to gauge their impact and seriousness are necessary steps in gaining access.

Remedial Action Identification - Our certified security analysts establish a prioritised corrective action plan for the risks and vulnerabilities discovered in the earlier stages.

Reporting & Re-Testing - The results are presented in full, along with recommendations for corrective action. After a successful repair, a retest is conducted to confirm that the fixes were effective.

Types of Network Penetration Testing

External Penetration Testing - External network penetration testing exposes weaknesses discovered online and simulates what a hacker would see in the network. The internet's external networks are the source of this hazard. Bypassing the firewall, this test is run over the internet.

Internal Penetration Testing - Internal Penetration Testing reveals the network's internal threats. By connecting to the internal LAN and taking advantage of the already present vulnerabilities, this test is carried out.

Black Box Penetration Testing - The Black Box Penetration Testing procedure operates with no network knowledge. Using social engineering methods or penetration testing tools, the tester gathers the necessary information. Any online material that is accessible to the general public is useful to penetration testers.

White Box Penetration Testing - Complete knowledge testing is another name for white box penetration testing. Testers can learn anything there about the intended network. The host IP address, domains owned, programmes utilised, network diagrams, and security measures like a network's IP or ID might all be included in this data.

Gray Box Penetration Testing - In grey box penetration testing, an internal employee is stimulated. A regular network permit and an account on the internal network are issued to the tester. This testing procedure takes into account internal hazards posed by company workers.

To Conclude

Criticality Of Vulnerabilities - The use of pen testing enables proactive identification of the criticality of vulnerabilities and false positives generated by automated scanners. It enables you to prioritise the corrective action and determines whether or not the discovered vulnerability is to be patched right away or not depending on its criticality.

Cost Of Breach - A security breach may have serious effects and incur high costs for a company. A network outage could cause significant corporate losses. Pen Testing assists in preventing these financial losses by quickly detecting and mitigating the dangers.

Regulatory Compliance - Pen testing aids firms in meeting regulatory requirements like PCI DSS and HIPAA and in avoiding penalties for noncompliance.
