Network Penetration Testing

Network Penetration Testing

Service Overview

A penetration test, occasionally pentest, is a method of evaluating the security of a computer system or network by simulating an attack from malicious outsiders (who do not have an authorized means of accessing the organization's systems) and malicious insiders (who have some level of authorized access). The process involves an active analysis of the system for any potential vulnerabilities that could result from poor or improper system configuration, both known and unknown hardware or software flaws, or operational weaknesses in process or technical countermeasures. This analysis is carried out from the position of a potential attacker and can involve active exploitation of security vulnerabilities.

Security issues uncovered through the penetration test are presented to the system's owner. Effective penetration tests will couple this information with an accurate assessment of the potential impacts to the organization and outline a range of technical and procedural countermeasures to reduce risks.

A network penetration test is aiming to find vulnerabilities associated with networking services such as the IP protocol, network infrastructure devices such as routers, switches, hosts, servers and any other IP interconnected (networked) component, followed by actively exploiting the uncovered flaws and vulnerabilities in order to gain access to the target system.
