Penetration Testing
Secure your network infrastructure against the latest cybersecurity threats.
Infrastructure Vulnerabilities
Weak Network Configuration
Inadequately configured routers, switches, firewalls, and other network devices can expose vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers.
Insecure Remote Access
Lax controls and weak authentication mechanisms for remote access solutions like VPNs and remote desktop services can lead to unauthorized access.
Vulnerabilities in Server Configuration
Improperly configured servers can expose sensitive data or services to potential attackers, compromising the overall security posture.
Inadequate Patch Management
Failure to promptly apply security patches and updates leaves systems vulnerable to known exploits and malware infections.
Insufficient Logging and Monitoring
Lack of effective logging and monitoring mechanisms can hinder the detection and response to security incidents in a timely manner.
Default Credentials and Weak Passwords
Use of default passwords or weak password policies can allow unauthorized access to critical systems and data.
How Infrastructure Penetration Testing Works
Explore the methodology of infrastructure penetration testing.
Step 1: Planning and Scoping
Define the scope of the penetration test, establish testing objectives, and select appropriate methodologies and tools. This can include IP ranges and domains.
Step 2: Reconnaissance
Gather information about the target infrastructure, including IP addresses, domain names, network topology, and security controls.
Step 3: Vulnerability Assessment
Conduct vulnerability scans and manual testing to identify weaknesses such as misconfigurations, outdated software, and known vulnerabilities.
Step 4: Exploitation
Attempt to exploit identified vulnerabilities to assess their severity and potential impact on the security of the infrastructure.
Step 5: Post-Exploitation
Evaluate the extent of a successful breach and identify additional vulnerabilities or potential attack vectors that could be exploited further.
Step 6: Reporting and Recommendations
Document findings, provide detailed reports outlining discovered vulnerabilities, their severity, and recommendations for remediation.
Step 7: Remediation and Retesting
We offer technical support and consulting to assist your team in understanding and implementing recommended fixes. Once fixes are implemented, conduct retesting to ensure that vulnerabilities have been adequately addressed.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Explore common questions about our services related to Infrastructure Penetration Testing.
What is infrastructure penetration testing?
Infrastructure Penetration Testing is a systematic assessment of an organization’s network and system security. It identifies vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers to compromise confidentiality, integrity, or availability of critical assets.
Why is infrastructure penetration testing important?
Infrastructure penetration testing helps organizations proactively identify and address security weaknesses before they can be exploited by malicious actors. It ensures the resilience of network infrastructure against evolving cyber threats.
How often should infrastructure penetration testing be performed?
The frequency of infrastructure penetration testing depends on factors such as the organization’s industry regulations, risk tolerance, and changes to the network environment. Generally, it is recommended to conduct tests annually or after significant infrastructure changes.
Can you perform internal and external infrastructure penetration testing?
Yes, we offer both internal and external infrastructure penetration testing services. Internal testing assesses security from within the organization’s network, simulating attacks by insiders. External testing evaluates defenses from outside the network, simulating attacks by external threats.
Who performs infrastructure penetration testing?
Infrastructure penetration testing is typically performed by skilled security professionals known as penetration testers or ethical hackers. These individuals possess deep knowledge of cybersecurity principles, attack methodologies, and various tools and techniques used in penetration testing. Our testers are CREST or CSTL accredited and are often CHECK Team Leaders or CSTL, and usually hold certificates such as Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) or similar credentials that validate their expertise in the field.
