Penetration Testing to Block Threats Before They Start
Identify vulnerabilities in your system before it's too late, with the help of our thorough penetration testing team.
What is Penetration Testing?
Penetration testing works by simulating cyberattacks to identify vulnerabilities in systems. This allows organizations to proactively address security weaknesses before malicious actors can exploit them, thus enhancing overall security resilience.
Commonly referred to as a “Pen Test,” they are proactive attempts by security professionals, such as TechMD, to actively exploit discovered vulnerabilities. Our team basically breaks into, or hacks, a corporate network and the systems within. As a result, the businesses then have a chance to correct the issues before an actual bad actor can exploit them.
When Should I Perform a Pen Test?
- When your organization has made a concerted effort to assess and remediate known vulnerabilities and is actively managing threats, a penetration test is appropriate.
- If your cybersecurity program is in the early stages of development or implementation phase, starting with an assessment is a better use of available resources.
Penetration Tests are conducted in one, or a combination, of the following scenarios:
- Externally from the internet.
- Internally within a company’s network – also known as a breach simulation.
- Via Wi-Fi in close proximity to a physical location.
- Through social engineering via phone, email (phishing) or impersonating a trusted vendor and gaining physical access.
After a TechMD's pen testing is completed, you’ll receive the following:
