Penetration Testing

We pinpoint exploitable security weaknesses using simulated attacks

Our comprehensive penetration testing service is precisely designed to identify your IT infrastructure’s potential security flaws before they’re discovered by malicious actors

Improve your cybersecurity posture by staying one step ahead of threats

Our comprehensive penetration testing service is precisely designed to identify your IT infrastructures potential security flaws before they’re discovered by malicious actors. Using the latest hacking techniques, we launch simulated attacks that reveal points of exploitation and also test end-user implementation of security controls.

What does Penetration Testing accomplish?

Uncovering real risks
Penetration testing exploits identified vulnerabilities, showing what a hacker might do in real situations. Such actions might include accessing confidential information and executing commands within the operating system. But testing might also tell you that a vulnerability that is theoretically high risk isn’t that risky at all because of the difficulty of exploitation.

Testing your cyber-defense capability
You should be able to detect attacks and respond adequately and on time. Once you detect an intrusion, you should start investigations, discover the intruders and block them. Whether they are malicious, or experts testing the effectiveness of your protection strategy. The feedback from the test will tell you if – but more likely what – actions can be taken to improve your defense.

Maintaining trust
A cyber assault or data breach negatively affects the confidence and loyalty of your customers, suppliers and partners. However, if your company is known for its strict and systematic security reviews and penetration tests, you will reassure all your stakeholders.

How we approach Penetration Testing

Penetration Testing is a 5-step process that reveals critical insights into your IT infrastructure, processes, and people. Our experts utilize common hacker tactics to locate flaws in your network security systems. A simulated attack is launched against each identified vulnerability, allowing us to determine if a malicious actor could gain access to your network. Once completed, a final report outlining our findings and recommended remediation is provided.

STEP 1

Planning & Reconnaissance

This is the most time consuming stage which involves planning to simulate a malicious attack – the attack is designed in a way that helps to gather as much information on the system as possible. In this step ethical hackers inspect the system, note the vulnerabilities, and how the organization’s tech stack reacts to system breaches like including social engineering, dumpster diving, network scanning, and domain registration information retrieval.

STEP 2

Scanning

Based on the finding of the planning step, penetration testers use scanning tools to explore the system and network weaknesses. This step identifies the system weaknesses that are potentially exploited for targeted attacks. It is essential to obtain all this information correctly, as it will define the success of the following steps.

STEP 3

Gaining System Access

Having understood the system’s vulnerabilities, pen testers then infiltrate the infrastructure by exploiting security weaknesses. Next, they attempt to exploit the system further by escalating privileges to demonstrate how deep into the target environments they can go.

STEP 4

Maintaining Access

This step identifies the potential impact of a vulnerability exploit by leveraging access privileges. Once they have a foothold in a system, penetration testers should maintain access and hold the simulated attack long enough to accomplish and replicate malicious hackers’ goals.

STEP 5

Analysis & Reporting

This is the result of a penetration test. As part of the last stage, the security team prepares a detailed report describing the entire penetration testing process and play book used.
