Penetration Testing

A thorough test of the security of your network, conducted using the same tools and techniques as various attackers.

A Penetration Test is a thorough test of the security of your network, conducted using the same tools and techniques as those used by various attackers who might wish to access your network.

Our consultants will work with you to identify the scope of the test and discuss the various options available to you. We will also look at your timescales and match your needs to one of our testers, or if they are more appropriate, a tester from one of our partners.

A Penetration Test or "Pen Test" will try to attack and penetrate your systems using the same tools and techniques that a hacker would, these are mostly manual. If vulnerabilities are found, an attempt will be made to exploit them and enter the exposed system and, where permitted, move laterally through your network. Unlike a hacker, our testers have very strict rules of engagement and a scope defined by you within which to work. Our testers liaise with you before transgressing from the scope to ensure your systems are not harmed and that you are comfortable with their actions.
