Unmatched Network Pen Testing Services

Black box testing: In this approach, the pen tester has no prior knowledge of the internal system. It is similar to a real-world attack scenario, where the examiner mimics an external hacker and tries to gain access to the organisation's network. It reveals how an attacker might exploit your systems' weaknesses; however, it may miss internal issues and custom code vulnerabilities. It is also time-consuming due to its trial-and-error nature.

White box testing: It provides the pen tester with complete knowledge of the organisation system, including documentation and architecture designs. This access allows for a more thorough and focused examination, including code quality assessments. However, it may also be more costly due to the extensive expertise required and the depth of the analysis.

Grey box testing: This is a hybrid approach where the tester is given partial knowledge of the system. It strikes a balance, offering more insight than black box but less than white box. By giving the examiners limited knowledge, they can focus on common security flaws reducing the need for extensive code review.

External penetration testing: It scans for vulnerabilities to assess the likelihood of a remote attacker exploiting and exposing vital business information. External pen test evaluation reveals the efficacy of an organisation's cybersecurity measures in protecting sensitive data and fending off external attacks.

Internal penetration testing: It focuses on the potential consequences of an insider breaching the network and gaining unauthorised access. Also, it evaluates the impact on confidentiality, integrity, and data availability if an attacker gains insider-level access or a malicious insider attempts to circumvent security.

1. Information Gathering
   This involves understanding the scope and goals of the penetration test. It is essential to decide on the type, whether black, grey, or white box testing.
2. Reconnaissance and Discovery
   This step involves using various tools to scan the network and systems for susceptibilities. It includes port, network, and vulnerability scanners. The goal is to identify potential weaknesses that can be exploited.
3. Performing the Network Penetration Test
   The penetration tester exploits the identified security flaws using various tools and scripts and may attempt to breach the network through various means, including technical approaches or social engineering.
4. Reporting, Recommendations, and Remediation
   After the test, a detailed report is prepared outlining the vulnerabilities discovered, the techniques used, and recommendations for fixing the issues. This report helps businesses understand the risks and take appropriate measures to enhance their safety.

The report should encompass the following key components:

• Executive summary: A concise overview highlighting business risks and the overall impact of the findings. This non-technical section helps stakeholders grasp the security status and the necessity for support.
• Risk analysis: This segment delves into the identified risks, offering an in-depth examination of vulnerabilities and their implications.
• Impact analysis: Here, the report should explain the likelihood of exploitation of the system's weaknesses and the potential severity and extent of the impact.
• Remediation recommendations: It should present actionable steps that the business can undertake to address and mitigate the susceptibilities.
