PENETRATION TESTING APPROACHES

 Penetration testing, or pen testing, is a proactive security testing approach where skilled ethical hackers simulate cyberattacks to identify vulnerabilities in your systems, networks, or applications. 

Penetration testing is crucial for identifying and mitigating security vulnerabilities, ensuring the protection of sensitive data, and maintaining the overall integrity of your

IT infrastructure.

 The frequency of penetration testing depends on various factors such as industry regulations, IT environment changes, and the level of risk your business is willing to accept. Generally, a minimum of an annual test is recommended.  

The duration of an engagement varies greatly based on desired cost and scope. Some customers might prefer a quick test to catch low hanging fruit and save on costs. Others prefer a lengthy multi-week engagement to paint a full picture of their situation.

The more time you give our team to dig, the more they can find.

A two day engagement could leave you feeling invincible, while actually being vulnerable. However, giving our team two weeks allows them to discover more exploits. Bad actors can take over a month to prepare a cyberattack. We recommend at least 1 week for most organizations. 

 Yes, in fact penetration testing is often necessary to meet regulatory requirements. By identifying and addressing security vulnerabilities, you can prove to auditors and customers that you are committed to a good security posture. 

 After a test, we provide a detailed report outlining identified vulnerabilities, their potential impact, and recommendations for remediation. We are also available for consultations to discuss the findings and answer any questions.  

We take the utmost care with sensitive data. Our testing is conducted within a defined scope, and all data is handled confidentially and securely. We follow industry best practices to protect your information and ensure your data is never shared, sold, or tampered with.
