Penetration Testing

In today’s digital age, businesses are becoming more reliant on Online and Cloud services to interface with customers and provide products to the public. As a result, the rewards for people who can compromise such organisations digital security are seeing similar increases.

Not only are threats increasing daily, but they are becoming more dynamic in their complexity. This can leave defence technologies exposed – technologies which are, by nature, more static and less dynamic than the threats they face. For this reason, regular penetration tests are essential to any organisations defensive arsenal.

We align our methodology with the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) testing guide
Our testing phases involve information gathering, administrative interface evaluation and security analysis.
We conduct Authentication and Access Control, Configuration Management, Input Validation, Parameter Manipulation, Session Management and Business Logic.

Discover exploitable vulnerabilities and the dangers to your business before a hacker does. Our Penetration Testing service offering is designed to safeguard your business and important information before it’s too late.

How It Works

Features and Benefits

Gathering Publicly Available Information

Researching the environment using publicly available Data sources (such as search engines and websites) while mapping out the public footprint and pointing out areas of concern.

Network Scanning

Performing automated sweeps of IP addresses from systems provided and/or discovered, both on-network and off-network.

System Profiling

Identification of the operating system and version numbers operating on the system to focus on subsequent tests.

Service Profiling

Identification of the services and applications, as well as their version numbers operating on the system. This allows for further focus testing on vulnerabilities associated with the identified services discovered.

Vulnerability Identification, Validation and Exploitation

Potential vulnerabilities or control weaknesses applicable to the system are researched, tested and identified. Once these vulnerabilities are identified, they must be validated to minimise errors and false reports which involve attempts to exploit the vulnerability.

Privilege Escalation

Should exploitation of vulnerability be successful, attempts are made to escalate the privileges and obtain “complete control” of the system.

Frequently Asked Questions
