Ready for a Penetration Testing?

Also known as pen testing or ethical hacking, is the process of testing a computer system, network or web application to find security vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit. A penetration test can be used to assess the security of a system and identify any potential weak points that could be exploited by malicious actors.

Penetration Testing can be used to simulate different types of attacks, including SQL injection, denial of service (DoS), and man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attacks. By attempting to exploit vulnerabilities, penetration testers can gauge the effectiveness of a company’s security measures and identify any areas that need improvement.

Our Approach

Involves scoping your needs, gathering data, and analyzing vulnerabilities. We then exploit these to assess impact, followed by a thorough evaluation. Our final step is detailed reporting with remediation advice, ensuring a comprehensive enhancement of your cybersecurity defenses in a concise and effective manner.

Scoping

After gathering enough information or consultants will develop an approach to testing your organization, looking at 3 main factors; where are you most vulnerable, what are the best attack techniques for the job at hand and how can they deliver the test while safeguarding your business from any issues.

Vulnerability Analysis

In this phase, the defined targets are thoroughly scanned in order to uncover any existing vulnerabilities. This involves listening for open ports, identifying services that are running, and developing an attack plan based on the information collected from these scans.

Exploitation

This stage is where our consultants see how far into your systems they can go using industry leading techniques, custom built tools and first-hand experience.

Post-Exploitation

After the consultant has a session running on a compromised machine they will determine the severity by seeing which assets and networks they can gain access to and how much information they can gather. This allows us to rank your vulnerabilities from low-critical.

Analysis & Reporting
