Uncover potential vulnerabilities in your applications through penetration tests, simulating the same behaviours of cyber criminals.
A penetration test or pen test is an authorized simulated attack performed on a computer system to evaluate its security.
Penetration testers emulate what would happen in real attacks by employing Tactics, Techniques, Processes and Tools used in the wild by cybercriminals.
follow the CREST* intrusion test guide and always have the human element associated to simulate the most recent Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs) used by cybercriminals.
It is a senior management security team responsibility to establish and oversee the penetration tests in the enterprise architecture.
The following steps are highly recommended for a secure penetration test program planning and delivery:
The test plan has to contain all the necessary details of the penetration test.
Some of the objectives are:
The last phase of the penetration test process demands a follow-up on the discovered weaknesses and how they are mitigated and monitored.
In this phase, the following activities should be performed:
*The Council of Registered Security Testers (CREST) guide for intrusion test is an international guide that ensure that tests are carried out and documented according to the highest legal, ethical and technical standards.
Uncover unknown vulnerabilities and reduce the chances of successful attacks by enabling vulnerabilities to be identified and fixed before cybercriminals exploit them
Take integrated and recurring penetration tests give a better view of the risks to which your organisation is exposed. The vulnerabilities found during the penetration tests can be used to enrich your threat model and risk assessment process
Ensure the security of personal and confidential information strictly complies with the different compliance requirements
