Penetration and vulnerability assessment
Penetration testing or assessment is an authorised simulated cyber-attack on a computer system, conducted to evaluate its security posture. Vulnerability assessment helps to identify, quantify, and prioritise the vulnerabilities in the system.
Our team of cybersecurity experts will collect publicly available information related to your networks, identify your vulnerabilities, and use their real cyber-attack knowledge to test your organisation as an intruder might do. We will determine whether and how, in case of a cyber-attack, your organisation’s network vulnerabilities can be exploited, what could the likely damage be in terms of confidentiality, integrity, and the availability of information and information systems. Our specialists would also rate the vulnerabilities in terms of risk to your company and provide recommendations for mitigation.
Our process for penetration testing and vulnerability assessment
- We follow the same processes used by real hackers
- All attacks are executed safely under controlled conditions by using black box or white box testing methods
- Social engineering tests are carried out to check whether your staff can be easily manipulated
- We provide and discuss with you a detailed report on your network’s vulnerabilities, including risk ratings, likely damage, and recommendations for mitigation
Benefits
- A comprehensive picture of your network’s security
- Awareness of your vulnerabilities and how they can be exploited
- Awareness of how resilient staff is to social engineering attacks
- Visibility of security areas, which require resource allocation
- List of actionable recommendations
