Often penetration testing is completed on the basis of a bi-annual or annual test. There-after the findings are subject to change at the next subsequent release of a new vulnerability, the next patch cycle or an asset or software configuration change.
By automating penetration testing, tests can be completed on regular basis (such as fortnightly or monthly) and provide continuous feedback to clients on their security posture. The use of automated tools can also reduce the overall costs traditionally associated with adhoc style testing. Not only reducing the attack surface with more timely information, such a regime can assist in reducing compliance costs.
These penetration tests enable an organisation to gauge how susceptible it is to an attacker (whereby an attacker had similar access to the Penetration tester as agreed in the testing scope).
The results enable organisations to:
Secure-ISS’s typical engagement scenarios can be broken into two distinct types, External and Internal.
An external penetration test – Is a security assessment conducted through the Internet by an ‘attacker’ with no preliminary knowledge of your system. Such a test provides organisations with an understanding of how their business looks to a hacker or malicious actor on the other side of the internet. Such ‘Black Hat’ exercises are conducted with or without client management awareness
An internal penetration test – Is a security assessment with scenarios based on an internal attacker, such as a visitor with only physical access to your offices or a contractor with limited systems access. Such a test provides organisations with an understanding of how vulnerable their business is to a malicious actor that has subverted the external or perimeter defences of the business.
Simulated attacks follow the typical attack hacker attack chain:
Penetration tests should be done on a regular basis, bi-annually or annually (at a minimum) or after large infrastructure changes or security initiatives are delivered into an organisation.
A number of additional services can be bought to bear with the penetration testing including:
Packages can be tailored to meet your organisation’s requirements with the inclusion of any of the optional services and/ or combining both Internal and External packages. Most services can be delivered remotely, however certain facets must be completed onsite.
Our Penetration testing services are designed to reveal security shortcomings within your infrastructure which could be exploited to gain unauthorized access to critical components of your business. Results are provided in a final report with an executive summary outlining test results and illustrating attack vectors.
The report content (suitable for both Executive and Technical audiences) includes:
Our Penetration testing services support your defence in depth security posture by providing actionable insights into both your internal and external security mechanisms.
