Penetration Testing Services

Overview

Penetration testing, also known as ethical hacking or pen testing, is a proactive cybersecurity assessment technique used to simulate cyber attacks on your IT systems, applications, and networks. The primary goal of penetration testing is to identify vulnerabilities and assess the effectiveness of existing security controls, allowing organizations to remediate weaknesses before malicious attackers exploit them.

Services Covered

• External Penetration Testing

  Simulate cyber attacks from an external perspective to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors targeting your external-facing systems and services.

• Internal Penetration Testing

  Assess the security posture of internal network segments, systems, and applications to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by internal users or attackers who have gained internal network access.

• Web Application Penetration Testing

  Evaluate the security of web applications to identify vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and authentication bypass that could be exploited by attackers to compromise sensitive data or manipulate application functionality.

• Mobile Application Penetration Testing

  Assess the security of mobile applications on various platforms (iOS, Android) to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data or compromise user privacy.

• Wireless Network Penetration Testing

  Evaluate the security of wireless networks and devices to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers to gain unauthorized access or intercept sensitive information transmitted over the airwaves.

• Social Engineering Testing

  Assess the effectiveness of security awareness training and policies by simulating social engineering attacks (e.g., phishing, pretexting) to manipulate employees into disclosing sensitive information or performing unauthorized actions.

Use Cases

• Financial Sector

  Challenge: A financial institution needs to protect customer financial data from external cyber threats.

  Solution: Conducting regular external and internal penetration tests helps the institution identify and remediate vulnerabilities in their network infrastructure, web applications, and mobile banking platforms, ensuring robust security defenses against cyber attacks.
