External Penetration Testing
Going deeper into your defences!
If a Vulnerability Assessment shows areas of weakness in your external IT security, an External Penetration Test can be carried out to see how deep into your system an attacker could get if they broke in through these holes.
What does this service do for my business?
Identifies any potential internal or external vulnerabilities in your IT infrastructure.
Once any weaknesses or vulnerabilities are discovered, a remedial plan can be put together to harden the security of your IT infrastructure.
This will increase your IT security and minimise the risk of a data breach.
Why do I need this service?
To see how well your IT security stands up to a malicious external attack.
If a cyber criminal gains access to your systems, they can wreak havoc on your operations and hold you to ransom for a crippling amount of money.
If it is possible to break through your external security and get in deep, it’s much better that you discover this from someone who has your business interests at heart.
How is this service delivered?
Assessing if your systems can be compromised by outside attacks.
An External Penetration Test puts you in the position of an attacker to see how well your security stands up to an attempt to break in.
It will:
- Try to compromise your servers.
- Try to gain control of a domain admin account.
- Enable you to reinforce your security before it becomes an emergency.
What are the added benefits?
External Penetration Tests can be used to test staff responses and help formulate a strategy to deal with one in the future, should it occur.
All External Penetration Tests are carried out in strict confidence and although present a greater risk to servers, all efforts are made to minimise the risk.
