From the realistic perspective of the business environment, which abounds with a lot of confidential data that exists in some private digital ecosystem, it is real magic to preserve the integrity of it. The inventiveness of attackers has almost no limits, they are becoming more and more sophisticated and innovative. Conventional cyber-attacks have become extremely cheap to conduct. The question is, what do the attackers achieve with these attacks? The answer is simple - access to sensitive information or a complete interruption of normal business processes, as well as trading in the same.

In addition, having a strong cybersecurity strategy offers a clear and detailed plan that standardizes security across the company. The entire process begins with an assessment of the company's current security measures, which will help in understanding the current business environment. That's why a strong approach for cyber security is crucial to defending against cyber crime.

Penetration testing service

Penetration testing service (pen testing or ethical hacking) is the primary method that helps assess business and management vulnerabilities within a company. This type of testing is an effective and tangible assessment of the security of information assets, communications and control infrastructure. It focuses on network, application and system vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an unauthorized user inside and outside the organization with different levels of access to information.

Qualified pen testing service includes automated and manual testing with proven techniques, methodology and tools for detecting undesirable risks in business. The attack scenario implies the ability to view, steal, corrupt, disable or completely destroy corporate information by "Outsiders" who possess the knowledge of "Insiders" (these can be employees, consultants or business partners).

Black, gray and white box

Pen testing can be categorized into three segments depending on the purpose of testing itself. That division includes the black, gray and white testing boxes.

Black box testing is done without absolute knowledge of the target environment. It is done from an external perspective, because in this way the results closest to those that led to real security attacks can be obtained. It also provides a very deep insight into the true security attitude of the client. Unlike black, gray and white box testing are more directed towards specific goals and from the aspect of partial or complete knowledge of the goal and the environment in which it is being worked on.

How pen testing is performed

In our approach, we conduct safety assessments using our SAVE methodology. The SAVE methodology is based on industry best practices and standards to ensure that each engagement is performed in an efficient, consistent and thorough manner.

BENEFITS

What should a penetration test report tell you?

We are sure of one thing as a conclusion - pen testing should become an integral part of the data security strategy of every organizational culture.

In fact, reducing the cyber attack surface is essential for detecting security gaps and fixing them before opportunistic threat actors find their way through.

Therefore, by regularly conducting security testing, we can make sure that the solutions and applied protection measures are adequate and in accordance with internal policies, laws, rules and regulations that protect business operations and process continuity at the same time.

Continuous security testing by third-party experts provides assurance that protection, control and compliance are at the highest level.
