Penetration Testing Services

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, cyber threats are more sophisticated than ever. At GlomarCyber, we provide comprehensive penetration testing services designed to uncover vulnerabilities before attackers do—keeping your business secure and resilient.

What is Penetration Testing?

Penetration testing, or ethical hacking, simulates real-world cyberattacks to assess your organization’s security posture. Our certified cybersecurity experts exploit weaknesses in your systems, applications, and networks—giving you a clear roadmap to fortify defenses before they can be breached.

Our Penetration Testing Approach

We follow industry best practices, including OWASP, NIST, and MITRE ATT&CK frameworks, to deliver a thorough and actionablesecurity assessment. Our process includes:

  1. Reconnaissance      & Intelligence Gathering – Identifying potential attack vectors      through passive and active information gathering.
  2. Threat      Modeling & Exploitation – Simulating attacks to expose security      weaknesses in applications, networks, and infrastructure.
  3. Privilege      Escalation & Lateral Movement – Testing how attackers could gain      deeper access within your systems.
  4. Post-Exploitation      Analysis – Assessing the potential business impact of security      breaches.
  5. Comprehensive      Reporting & Remediation Guidance – Providing an in-depth risk      assessment with prioritized recommendations to strengthen your security      posture.

Types of Penetration Testing We Offer

Network Penetration Testing– Identify weaknesses in internal and external network infrastructures.

Web Application Penetration Testing – Uncover vulnerabilities in your websites, APIs, and cloud-based apps.

Mobile Application Testing – Secure iOS and Android applications from critical security flaws.

Wireless Network Security Testing – Evaluate wireless access points, routers, and IoT devices for risks.
Cloud Security Assessments – Assess cloud environments such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud for misconfiguration.

Social Engineering & Phishing Simulations – Test employee awareness and resilience against real-world phishing and cyber threats.

The differences between White Box, Gray Box, and Black Box Penetration Testing:

When it comes to penetration testing, choosing the right testing methodology is crucial for understanding your organization's security posture. The three primary approaches—White Box, Gray Box, and Black Box testing—differ in the level of knowledge testers have about the target system before testing begins. 

White Box Testing (Full Knowledge Testing)

White Box testing is an inside-out approach where testers have full access to source code, architecture, and system documentation. This method is often used to simulate an internal attack or assess security at a deep technical level.

Best for:

  • Secure code reviews
  • Identifying complex vulnerabilities
  • Compliance audits
  • Testing applications in development

Pros:
✔️ Highly efficient in detecting deep security flaws
✔️ Comprehensive security evaluation
✔️ Helps developers remediate vulnerabilities early

Cons:
❌ Time-consuming due to extensive analysis
❌ Doesn’t reflect real-world external threats

Gray Box Testing (Partial Knowledge Testing)

Gray Box testing is a hybrid approach where testers have limited knowledge about the system, such as login credentials, network architecture, or API documentation. This method simulates an attack by an insider or a hacker who has already gained partial access.

Best for:

  • Testing web applications and APIs
  • Assessing privilege escalation risks
  • Evaluating insider threats

Pros:
✔️ Balances efficiency and realism
✔️ More cost-effective than White Box testing
✔️ Identifies misconfigurations and access control weaknesses

Cons:
❌ May miss deep security flaws without full code access
❌ Requires collaboration with the client to define access levels

Black Box Testing (Zero Knowledge Testing)

Black Box testing is a real-world attack simulation where testers have no prior knowledge of the target system—just like a real hacker would. The focus is on identifying vulnerabilities that could be exploited from an external perspective.

Best for:

  • Simulating real cyberattacks
  • Testing external networks and applications
  • Evaluating perimeter security

Pros:
✔️ Most realistic test for external threats
✔️ Uncovers vulnerabilities visible to attackers
✔️ Requires minimal client involvement

Cons:
❌ Less comprehensive than White or Gray Box testing
❌ Can be time-consuming due to blind reconnaissance


Which Penetration Test is Right for You?


Each testing approach serves a unique purpose. Whether you need an in-depth White Box review, a balanced Gray Box assessment, or a real-world Black Box attack simulation, Glomar Cyber has you covered.

Benefits of a Pentest

Meet Compliance Requirements including.

GDPR, CCPA, SOC 2, PCI-DSS,

ISO 27001, NIST, HIPAA, FedRAMP, Cyber Insurance, Supplier Specs


Avoid Regulatory Fines & Legal Costs.

Ensure compliance with regulations to avoid financial penalties and avoidable legal issues. 


Stay Secure in a World of Cyberattacks

97% of networks can be penetrated by bad actors. NIST recommends that organizations test a minimum of once a year. However, critical systems must be tested more frequently to ensure a proper defense. 


Maintain Business Continuity & Stability

identify and rectify vulnerabilities with regular penetration testing to prevent disruptions and safeguard business operations.
