Network Penetration Testing

What is Network Penetration Testing?

Network Penetration Testing, also known as Pen Testing, is a proactive and controlled method of evaluating the security of a network by simulating attacks from malicious outsiders and insiders. The primary goal is to identify security weaknesses and provide actionable remediation to enhance your network’s security posture.

Our Comprehensive Penetration Testing Process

1. Planning and Scoping

 – Objective Definition: We begin by understanding your business objectives and specific security concerns.
– Scope Determination: Together, we define the scope of the test, including the systems, applications, and network segments to be evaluated.

2. Information Gathering and Reconnaissance

– Passive Reconnaissance: Collecting publicly available information about your network without directly interacting with your systems.
– Active Reconnaissance: Using network scanning tools to discover live hosts, open ports, and services running on those ports.

3. Vulnerability Identification

– Automated Scanning: Utilizing industry-leading tools to identify known vulnerabilities.
– Manual Testing: Expert testers manually verify and further investigate identified vulnerabilities, ensuring no false positives.

4. Exploitation

– Controlled Exploitation: Attempting to exploit identified vulnerabilities to determine the potential impact on your network. This step helps in understanding the depth of the vulnerabilities and the extent of potential damage.
– Privilege Escalation: Assessing if vulnerabilities can be leveraged to gain higher-level access within the network.

5. Post-Exploitation and Analysis

– Maintaining Access: Simulating advanced persistent threats to understand if attackers can establish a foothold within your network.
– Data Exfiltration Simulation: Testing the ability to extract data without detection, mimicking real-world attack scenarios.

6. Reporting

– Detailed Report: Providing a comprehensive report that includes an executive summary, detailed findings, risk assessments, and actionable recommendations.
– Remediation Guidance: Offering expert advice and support to help you fix identified vulnerabilities and enhance your overall security framework.

7. Re-Testing

– Verification: After remediation, we conduct a re-test to verify that the vulnerabilities have been effectively addressed and that no new issues have been introduced.
