Penetration Testing

Penetration testing is required for testing networks and their components to avoid security threats. Knowledge of the network does not matter because the internal penetration test is conducted remotely via the Internet on the IP address, the URL specified by the client, or at the client site.

There are three aspects to this procedure:

Light perimeter test - testing the strength of the perimeter from a remote location.

Full perimeter test - verifying the security of the perimeter, the servers in the DMZ, with remote exploitation of the DMZ, and accessible internal systems.

Internal test - the 'trusted-insider' test, launched from inside the client's network, with internal exploitation.

Penetration Testing proactively attempts to break into your network to assess your level of security preparedness. This helps us get a hacker's eye view of the system, and it enables us to identify security holes that could be exploited by a remote attacker to compromise your network.
