Penetration Testing Services

Identify and remediate cybersecurity risks with penetration testing that simulates real-world attacks and provides actionable insights into critical threats to your data and networks. Stay ahead of evolving cyberthreats while protecting your customer and organizational information.

Our Types of Tests

Internal and External Networks

Checks external internet exposure and internal user access to identify security gaps.

Web Applications

Simulates attacks on apps, finding logic flaws and vulnerabilities to identify risks from authenticated users.

Mobile Applications

Evaluates mobile app security for vulnerabilities to ensure data safety and regulatory compliance.

Vishing

Evaluates your resilience against social engineering to expose weaknesses that risk data and your reputation.

Phishing

Assesses employee response and protect against data loss and unauthorized access.

Cloud Environment

Evaluates your core infrastructure—identity and access management, databases, storage, and networks—to secure vital cloud data.

Understanding Vulnerability Assessments and Penetration Testing

Vulnerability assessments and penetration testing are related, but distinct processes with different goals.

A vulnerability assessment provides a broad overview of the organization’s security posture by identifying potential weaknesses, without attempting to exploit them.

Penetration testing simulates a cyberattack that exploits a known vulnerability to assess the potential impact of a real attack.

Pen Testing Benefits

Penetration testing can provide:

Improved risk mitigation: More effective risk mitigation throughout your IT environment. By simulating attacks, organizations learn about their security gaps and can take steps to address them.

Enhanced data protection: Stronger protection for vital customer and employee data. Pen testing helps align security measures with the organization’s most important information.

Strengthened regulatory compliance: Enhanced compliance with industry-specific regulations and increased customer trust. Pen testing provides a strong foundation for security regulations and data protection frameworks including SOC, ISO, HIPAA, HITRUST, and others.

Increased employee security awareness: Better employee awareness about the importance of effective information security management. Highlighting security risks such as phishing can help employees avoid unsafe practices.

Up-to-date threat intelligence: Deeper insights into the latest cybersecurity threats. Pen testing helps organizations adapt their defenses as bad actors explore new attack vectors.

Assured security safeguards: Reassurance for interested stakeholders the organization has taken, and verified, prudent measures to defend against current and emerging security vulnerabilities.

Our Testing Process

Pen Testing

Mar 17

Recon and Information Gathering

Before our pen testing team acts, we’ll gather information on the prospective target. This period is vital to establishing an attack plan and serves as the staging ground for the engagement.

Mar 17

Scanning

Following the reconnaissance stage, we’ll perform a series of scans to decipher how a target’s security systems will counter multiple breach attempts. The discovery of vulnerabilities within a network’s infrastructure can dictate how pen testers will continue the simulated attack.

Mar 17

Gaining Access

Once data has been collected, penetration testers blend automated and manual methods to exploit the vulnerabilities identified in the previous steps. Penetration testing enables the testers to obtain detailed insights into potential attack paths and damage, and to develop mitigation recommendations.

Mar 17

Maintaining Access

The main goal of this stage is to achieve a state of constant presence within the target environment. As time progresses, more data is collected throughout the exploited system that allows the testers to mimic advanced persistent threats.

Mar 17

Covering Tracks/Analysis

Once the engagement is complete, any trace of the attack will be eliminated to ensure anonymity. Log events, scripts, and other executables that could be discovered by the target should be completely untraceable. A comprehensive report with an in-depth analysis will be shared with the target to highlight key vulnerabilities, gaps, the potential impact of a breach, and other essential security program components.

FAQs

What Is Penetration Testing?

Penetration testing, or pen testing, involves attempting to breach an organization’s cybersecurity infrastructure. Depending on the organization and its risk profile, tests can focus on external vulnerabilities, insider threats, security gaps in applications or wireless networks, or any combination of potential security threats.

By simulating real-world attack scenarios, penetration testing helps organizations identify vulnerabilities within their systems, networks, and applications before bad actors can exploit them. Penetration testing allows organizations to prioritize their security investments and budgets and align their mitigation efforts with their most critical data and risks.

How Does Pen Testing Align With Other Standards and Frameworks?

While not always mandatory, penetration testing is widely recognized as a valuable method for enabling stronger compliance with security frameworks and standards including SOC, ISO/IEC, HIPAA, NIST, and others.

Who Needs a Penetration Test?

Pen testing is used widely across diverse sectors to identify and address security vulnerabilities, improve each organization’s security posture, comply with security standards and frameworks, and meet contractual obligations with customers and partners.

How Often Should You Do Penetration Testing?

Many organizations conduct pen tests once or twice a year. Large enterprises, companies handling sensitive data, or those in regulated industries may conduct tests quarterly or monthly.

What Do You Test For?

Penetration tests look for a variety of vulnerabilities in systems, networks, and applications, such as security weaknesses, potential entry points for unauthorized access, ineffective internal controls, and other risks.
