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.

How Do Data Breaches Occur?

A data breach occurs when a cybercriminal infiltrates a data source and extracts confidential information. This can be done by accessing a computer or network to steal local files or by bypassing network security remotely. The most common cyber attacks used in data breaches are outlined below.

Ransomware

Malware

Phishing

Denial of Services (DOS)

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.
