DataGuardForceComprehensive Penetration Testing Service
What is a penetration test?
A penetration test, also known as ethical hacking, is a type of security assessment that simulates cyberattacks against a computer system and is performed to evaluate the weakness of the security of that system. Penetration testing enables a full risk assessment to be completed as it checks not only for potential vulnerabilities but also strengths of a systems security.
Penetration testing is an important and valuable exercise that all organizations should run on a consistent cadence because insights from pen tests can be used to examine whether an organization's security policies are genuinely effective and strengthen these policies to prevent future cyberthreats.
We help protect your network by thinking like attackers, finding vulnerabilities in your defenses, and then working with you to mitigate them.
Penetration testing can benefit an enterprise and prevent cyber attacks and data breaches without having to hire an in-house team of security experts.
During an external pen test the simulated attacker performs reconnaissance on assets, collecting intelligence on things like open ports, vulnerabilities, and other general information about a 'target' organization's users (for password attacks). Once the simulated attacks successfully breaches the network, internal pen testing begins.
On the other hand, an internal pen test is performed to help decipher what a threat actor could achieve, or to put it another way, how far a threat actor can laterally move, with initial access to a network. Internal pen tests can simulate insider threats, such as employees intentionally or unintentionally performing malicious actions, and other methods and vectors of entry.
Once domain admin access is achieved, or the simulated attacker can gain control of the organization's most valuable information, the test is generally ended.
Often, penetration testing is considered a form of ethical hacking, as both internal and external pen tests revolve around an authorized attempt (hack) to gain unauthorized access to a network. Carrying out an ethical hack involves duplicating strategies and actions seen in a typical cyber kill chain.
Service Description:
Our Comprehensive Penetration Testing service is designed to thoroughly evaluate the security posture of your organization, identifying vulnerabilities and weaknesses that could be exploited by cyber threats. With a holistic approach, we leave no stone unturned, assessing various attack vectors and providing actionable insights to enhance your cybersecurity defenses.
Key Components of our Pentest Service:
-
Reconnaissance:
We begin by conducting a detailed reconnaissance phase, simulating the initial stages of a cyber attack. This includes information gathering, footprint analysis, and OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence) research to identify potential entry points and weak links.
-
Dark Web Checks:
We delve into the dark web to search for any information related to your organization, such as stolen credentials, leaked data, or discussions about potential threats targeting your industry. This helps in preemptively identifying potential risks.
-
Web Applications:
Our expert team assesses the security of your web applications, identifying vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and authentication flaws. We provide detailed reports and recommendations for remediation.
-
Mobile Applications:
We thoroughly test your mobile applications for security flaws, ensuring that they do not expose sensitive data or provide avenues for unauthorized access. This includes both Android and iOS platforms.
-
IoT (Internet of Things):
With the proliferation of IoT devices, we evaluate the security of your IoT infrastructure to uncover potential vulnerabilities and weaknesses that could compromise the integrity of your network.
-
Infrastructure and Network:
Our team assesses the security of your network, servers, and infrastructure, identifying misconfigurations, weak access controls, and potential entry points for attackers. We also perform vulnerability scanning and penetration testing of Microsoft Active Directory as well as AWS and Azure Cloud infrastructures.
-
Social Engineering:
In addition to technical assessments, we evaluate the human element of security. Through controlled social engineering exercises, we test the susceptibility of your staff to phishing, pretexting, and other manipulative tactics.
-
Audits:
We conduct comprehensive security audits to ensure compliance with industry standards and best practices. This includes regulatory compliance audits, policy reviews, and security framework assessments.
Deliverables:
At the conclusion of our pentest, you will receive detailed reports, including a prioritized list of vulnerabilities, potential impact assessments, and practical recommendations for mitigating risks. We offer ongoing support and guidance to help you address and remediate the identified issues.
