Assess and understand your susceptibility to human manipulation via email, phone, media drops, and physical access
Q What does a network penetration test involve?
Using the same techniques a hacker would use – but with a defined and controlled methodology, our skilled pen testers use the full range of strategies in their toolkit to replicate a ‘real-world’ cyber attack – a highly effective test of your security defences.
Firstly, we gather intelligence from publicly available sources to identify opportunities and vulnerabilities to exploit. This would include looking for misconfigurations, weak passwords, unpatched software, open ports etc. that can lead to unauthorised access.
With agreement, we would attempt to exploit identified vulnerabilities to confirm the risk to your organisation – a true evaluation of the threats faced today.
Q What are the goals of a penetration test?
Q What is Black box and White box pen testing?
Black box: A penetration test performed without any influence or direction from the business on what vectors to attack
White box: A penetration test performed according to pre-determined guidelines set out by the client
Grey box: A penetration test performed with partial guidance, like a map of the network, but where other aspects must be achieved during the project, like administrative access.
The largest benefit of automated pen-testing is that it removes the risk of your manual pen test being out of date when new users, devices and applications are added to the network – potentially introducing new risks and vulnerabilities. Manual pen-testing is time consuming, automating it ensures you can validate your cybersecurity posture whenever you need to.
