Penetration Testing

The ultimate test of your information security defences. A penetration test is a simulation of a real world attack.

Penetration testing builds upon earlier stages in the check it phase by moving on to actual exploitation of vulnerabilities. A Vulnerability Assessment will provide a report of potential vulnerabilities in a network and, while there is an element of verification the only way to be 100% sure is to exploit it.

By attacking and exploiting your IT systems we can assess how an attacker would be able to move through your network and ultimately which of your company assets, such as your source code, client data, financial data or intellectual property, they could steal.

Depending on the testing approach taken, it can also be an excellent test of your incident response procedures. Can you detect the attack? Can you thwart the attacker? Can you contain their movements and gain enough forensic evidence to pursue a prosecution?

Penetration testing can help to answer these and many more questions about your preparedness.

We work closely with you to define the scope of the penetration test, understanding your requirements, why you would like a penetration test and what the goal of the penetration test is.
