We Leave No Loopholes In Your Defenses

Our detailed eight-step process is necessary to conduct a thorough and effective penetration test that helps organizations identify and mitigate security risks, protect against potential cyber threats, and strengthen their overall security defenses.

1. Planning and Preparation

This phase involves defining the scope and objectives of the penetration test, determining the testing methodology, and obtaining necessary permissions from stakeholders.

2. Information Gathering

In this step, our tester collects information about the target system, including network architecture, operating systems, applications, and potential entry points.

3. Enumeration

During enumeration, the tester actively probes the target system to gather more detailed information, such as open ports, running services, user accounts, and network configurations.

4. Vulnerability Analysis

The tester analyzes the information collected during the previous steps to identify known vulnerabilities and potential security weaknesses in the target system. This analysis helps prioritize vulnerabilities based on their severity and potential impact on the organization.

5. Exploitation

In this phase, the penetration tester attempts to exploit the identified vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to the target system or extract sensitive information. Exploitation helps validate the existence and severity of vulnerabilities and assess the effectiveness of existing security controls

6. Post-Exploitation

After successfully exploiting vulnerabilities, the tester explores the compromised system further to assess the extent of the damage and identify additional attack paths.

7. Reporting

Once the testing is complete, the penetration tester documents their findings in a comprehensive report, including details of identified vulnerabilities, their impact, and recommendations for remediation.

8. Remediation

Based on the findings and recommendations in the penetration test report, the organization takes appropriate actions to address identified vulnerabilities and improve its overall security posture.

Our Penetration Testing Services

External Network Penetration Testing

Our external infrastructure penetration testing involves a trusted and seasoned security consultant assessing the security of externally facing networks and systems. This thorough examination aims to uncover vulnerabilities and weaknesses that could potentially be exploited by real-world adversaries. By simulating cyber attacks from outside your organization, this testing ensures your defenses can withstand genuine threats. Specifically, it evaluates the security of your publicly facing infrastructure to determine if attackers could breach your network through services on your external-facing IP addresses. This includes testing the security of firewalls and VPNs, identifying connected devices and the services they offer, and conducting independent research to uncover vulnerabilities. Our ultimate goal is to exploit these vulnerabilities to assess the resilience of your network against potential intrusions.

Internal Network Penetration Testing

Our internal network testing mimics insider threats by probing for vulnerabilities within your organization. It plays a crucial role in thwarting data breaches, ensuring that if external defences falter, internal safeguards remain resilient in protecting sensitive data. By simulating scenarios involving rogue employees, contractors, guests, or malicious software, such as viruses or malware, we evaluate the potential impact on compromising internal hosts. An attacker with insider access could exploit these vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access, steal confidential information, disrupt services, or tamper with the integrity of data, including financial transactions. T The goal of internal infrastructure penetration testing is to assess the security of critical internal networks and identify weaknesses that could be exploited by real-world adverseries.

Web Application Penetration Testing

Our web application testing meticulously examines your application's code to uncover security vulnerabilities, mitigating the risk of exploitation by attackers. It pinpoints intricate flaws like business logic issues, injection vulnerabilities, and privilege escalation vectors. In today's landscape, web application vulnerabilities are often at the center of major data breaches. Moreover, a compromised web application can serve as a platform for stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, posing a threat to every visitor's browser on your site. These vulnerabilities pose significant risks to your brand and reputation if left unaddressed. Our web application penetration testing, conducted by a trusted and experienced security consultant, involves a comprehensive security assessment of your web application, website, or web API. It uncovers vulnerabilities that could potentially be exploited by real-world adversaries, providing valuable insights into strengthening your application's security posture.
