Network Penetration Testing Service
Network Penetration Testing, or Network Pentesting, is a comprehensive security assessment designed to evaluate the resilience of your IT network against cyber threats. This service involves simulating real-world attack scenarios to identify vulnerabilities in your internal and external network infrastructure, including firewalls, routers, switches, servers, and endpoints. The primary goal is to pinpoint weaknesses before malicious actors exploit them and provide actionable recommendations to strengthen your network’s security posture.
Our Network Penetration Testing service is tailored to align with your organization’s unique needs, ensuring that your IT environment remains compliant with industry standards like ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and NIST. From uncovering misconfigurations to identifying outdated software and weak passwords, this service provides an in-depth understanding of your network’s security gaps and actionable insights to address them.
Methodology
Our Network Penetration Testing methodology adheres to industry best practices, combining automated tools and manual techniques for an exhaustive assessment. Leveraging frameworks like OWASP, PTES, and MITRE ATT&CK, we simulate real-world attack scenarios to uncover vulnerabilities that could jeopardize your network security.
Planning and Scoping
- Objective Definition: Understand the client’s security goals, compliance requirements, and testing scope.
- Scope Identification: Determine which network components, such as internal or external networks, will be tested.
- Rules of Engagement: Establish boundaries, testing timelines, and any limitations to ensure seamless execution.
Information Gathering and Reconnaissance
- External Reconnaissance: Gather information about public-facing assets such as IP addresses, DNS records, and web applications.
- Internal Reconnaissance: Analyze internal networks for shared resources, exposed services, and access controls.
- Threat Modeling: Map potential attack vectors based on the gathered information.
Vulnerability Analysis
- Use automated tools to scan for vulnerabilities such as:
- Misconfigured firewalls or routers
- Unpatched software or firmware
- Weak or default credentials
- Assess the impact of each vulnerability using severity metrics.
Exploitation
- Simulate attacks to exploit identified vulnerabilities, such as privilege escalation, lateral movement, or data exfiltration.
- Test for issues like:
- SQL injection in network interfaces
- Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks
- Unauthorized access through misconfigurations
Post-Exploitation
- Assess the potential damage of successful exploitation.
- Evaluate risks such as data theft, service disruption, and unauthorized network access.
Reporting
- Provide a detailed report that includes:
- Summary of vulnerabilities identified
- Detailed technical analysis
- Prioritized recommendations for remediation
- Deliver both technical and executive-level summaries to address the needs of different stakeholders.
Remediation Support
- Offer guidance to fix vulnerabilities and implement security best practices.
- Assist with configuring secure settings, patching systems, and strengthening access controls.
Retesting
Conduct retesting to validate that identified vulnerabilities have been effectively resolved.
