Pen Testing

What is Pen Testing?

Pen testing, commonly known as pen testing, is a security exercise conducted by a cyber-security expert to uncover and exploit vulnerabilities in a computer system. This simulated attack aims to reveal any weaknesses in the system’s defenses that attackers could exploit.

Pen tests are typically performed by individuals with limited prior knowledge of the system’s security configuration, as they may uncover misconfiguration or items that your admins overlooked. By pinpointing these weaknesses, proactive measures can be taken to eliminate them from the system before malicious actors exploit them for unauthorized access, data theft, or other nefarious activities.

Our Pen testing involves more than just infiltrating a system. It has various phases, including:

• Planning: Collaborative session to define test scope and collect system information.
• Scanning: System scan for vulnerabilities, including application code inspection and network port identification.
• Penetration: Exploitation of identified vulnerabilities to gain access, with subsequent assessment of potential damage.
• Reporting: Compilation of findings, including exploited vulnerabilities, accessed data, and duration of undetected access.
• Clean up and retest: Removal of access traces and retesting to ensure vulnerability mitigation.
