Penetration Testing
Protect your business from cyber threats with penetration testing
Cybersecurity threats are a clear and present danger to businesses, with bad actors and hackers using increasingly sophisticated techniques to steal sensitive data and cause widespread disruption.
Penetration testing is a type of cybersecurity testing that involves simulating a cyber attack on a computer system, network, or application to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses that attackers could exploit. Penetration testing is conducted by our trained security professionals, who use various tools and techniques to simulate real-world attacks and identify potential security risks to your business so that you can better prepare and fix the gaps before they are exploited.
How does it work
Who uses penetration testing, and how can it benefit our business?
Penetration testing is a vital security measure for businesses that handle sensitive data, including financial information, personally identifiable information (PII), and intellectual property. By conducting penetration testing, businesses can identify and remediate potential security vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them, safeguarding their assets, reputation, and customer trust. The National Cyber Security Centre explains how to get the most from penetration testing and what you should look out for to have a meaningful test.
Enhanced Security: PEN-testing helps businesses identify and remediate potential security risks, reducing the risk of a cyber attack.
Compliance: Penetration testing is often required by industry regulations and standards, such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR.
Cost Saving: By identifying and addressing potential security risks, businesses can avoid the high costs associated with data breaches and other cyber attacks.
Reputation: By demonstrating a commitment to security, businesses can enhance their reputation and build trust with customers, partners, and stakeholders.
Pen-Testing how does it work
Reconnaissance
The penetration testing team will comprehensively analyse the target system, network, or application to identify potential vulnerabilities and weaknesses using tools and techniques such as port scanning, network mapping, and information gathering.
Vulnerability Analysis
The penetration testing team will use various tools and techniques to identify vulnerabilities in the target system, networks, or application, such as vulnerability scanners, web application scanners, and manual testing. The goal is to identify weaknesses that attackers could exploit.
Exploitation
Our team of experts will attempt to exploit identified vulnerabilities to gain unauthorised access to the target system, network, or applications. The goal is to determine the extent of potential damage an attacker could cause and provide actionable recommendations for remediation.
Reporting
The penetration testing team will provide a detailed report of their findings, including a summary of vulnerabilities and recommendations for remediation. The report is designed to provide clear, actionable insights that businesses can use to enhance their security posture and reduce the risk of a cyber attack.
