What is Network Penetration Testing?

Network penetration testing is a security test where experts try to hack into an organization’s computer network to find vulnerabilities and weaknesses. It’s like a “mock” hack to see if a hacker could get in and cause damage. The goal is to identify any problems and fix them before a real hacker can take advantage. It’s basically a way to check the security of an organization’s network.

Network Penetration Testing: Assess Your Security Before Attackers Do

If your business was hacked tomorrow, do you know what would happen?

Protecting your valuable assets and customer data is paramount in today’s digital landscape. Alongside robust security software, regular network penetration tests play a critical role, and these tests are precisely what cybersecurity insurers will look for when assessing your policy.

Ransomware

Malware

Phishing

Denial Of Service (Dos)

Why you need penetration testing?

Penetration Testing is Worth Every Penny

Using the results of a penetration test, your organization can identify ways to protect its most valuable data by reducing the number of attack vectors and accessible paths to sensitive resources and systems.

We offer two different network penetration testing services to guide your organization to a better security posture and program.

Internal Network Penetration Testing

Using a device connected to your internal environment, our consultants will discover security vulnerabilities present within the internal network environment. These activities simulate that of a malicious attacker.

External Network Penetration Testing

Assuming the role of a malicious attacker from the public Internet, our consultants will identify security flaws within your external network environment. These flaws can include patching, configuration, and authentication issues.
