What is Penetration Testing?

Penetration testing, also called pen testing or ethical hacking, is a simulated cyber attack and authorised security assessment that aims to identify, safely exploit and rectify vulnerabilities within your organisation's network as a whole.

A pen test can reveal the potential consequences of a genuine attack, as well as highlighting the key strengths and weaknesses of your organisation's security posture, allowing for a full risk assessment to be carried out.

As Certified Ethical Hackers, we utilise the same tools and processes used by advanced attackers to uncover and remediate exploitable flaws that present a cyber security risk.

What are the goals of a pen test?

Identify potential vulnerabilities before they are exploited by criminals

Determine risk factors within your organisation and levels of severity

Assess the impact of a successful attack

Test capability of existing security measures

Meet compliance criteria with security standards (eg. ISO 27001, PCI DSS, GDPR)

Justify investment in increased cyber security

Improve awareness and understanding of cyber security risks

Uncover and rectify flaws in your security

What are the different

Types of penetration test

Network Infrastructure

Network pen testing aims to identify the security posture of both your internal and external networks, to help determine your susceptibility to attacks and test the effectiveness of existing cyber defences. Our team of ethical hackers provide a comprehensive findings report and map of vulnerabilities, clearly outlining risk levels as well as recommendations on mitigating any identified issues.

Web Application

Web applications such as websites or web-based software can often house sensitive business data and as such become an attractive target for cyber criminals. Our experienced team can replicate a wide range of web-based attacks in a safe environment to identify vulnerabilities and flaws resulting from insecure development in the design, coding and publishing of a web application.

Wireless Pentesting

Wireless networks (Wi-Fi) can provide greater flexibility to your organisation's network infrastructure, but with the caveat of increasing your potential for an attack. Wireless Pentesting will identify any vulnerabilities or misconfigurations within your wireless network and provide thorough reporting on the risks associated as well as remediation advice on resolving any issues.

Social Engineering

Human's make mistakes, and your workforce can often be your weakest link when it comes to cyber resilience. We can utilise social engineering techniques such as email phishing to evaluate how susceptible your employee's are to social engineering attacks, identify areas for improvement and create targeted security awareness training to empower your workforce and improve your organisations security posture.

Our Penetration Testing methodology

Scope	We get to know you, your organisation and existing security posture to help define the scope of the project and ensure objectives and outcomes are clearly defined.
Reconnaissance	Using in-depth reconnaissance techniques, we gather publicly visible information and intelligence on your organisation that could be used by criminals to orchestrate a cyber attack.
Scanning	We utilise the latest vulnerability scanning tools to create a full picture of your organisation's attack surface, including networks, computer systems and applications that may be vulnerable to attack.
Vulnerabilities	Using all of the data gathered in the reconnaissance and scanning phases, we identify potential security vulnerabilities and determine whether they can be exploited.
Exploitation	Once vulnerabilities have been identified, we attack and attempt to gain access to the target system by exploiting flaws in your security, without disrupting your business operations.
Reporting	Our reports provide a comprehensive analysis of our findings, including an executive and technical summary, overview of identified vulnerabilities and thorough technical analysis, all supported by information on their potential business impact. Once reviewed, our team will schedule a meeting to further discuss findings, answer questions, review retesting requirements and provide recommendations on addressing identified risks and improving security.
Remediation	As seasoned veterans in the IT, web development and cyber security industries, we can help rectify any vulnerabilities or security flaws that we discover within your organisation, as well as helping put the processes in place to build your cyber resilience.
