vPenTest
An Automated Penetration testing solution
If your business was hacked tomorrow, do you know what would happen? Protecting your valuable assets and customer data is paramount in today's digital landscape. Alongside robust security software, regular network penetration tests play a critical role, and these tests are precisely what cybersecurity insurers will look for when assessing your policy.
What is Network Penetration Testing?
Network penetration testing is a security test where experts try to hack into an organization's computer network to find vulnerabilities and weaknesses. It's like a "mock" hack to see if a hacker could get in and cause damage. The goal is to identify any problems and fix them before a real hacker can take advantage. It's basically a way to check the security of an organization's network.
How Do Data Breaches Occur?
A data breach occurs when a cybercriminal infiltrates a data source and extracts confidential information. This can be done by accessing a computer or network to steal local files or by bypassing network security remotely. The most common cyber attacks used in data breaches are outlined below.
RANSOMWARE
Ransomware is software that gains access to and locks down access to vital data. Files and systems are locked down and a fee is demanded commonly in the form of cryptocurrency.

PHISHING
Phishing scams are one of the most common ways hackers gain access to sensitive or confidential information. Phishing involves sending fraudulent emails that appear to be from a reputable company, with the goal of deceiving recipients into either clicking on a malicious link or downloading an infected attachment, usually to steal financial or confidential information.
MALWARE
Malware, commonly referred to as “malicious software,” is a term that describes any program or code that harmfully probes systems. The malware is designed to harm your computer or software and commonly masquerades as a warning against harmful software. The “warning” attempts to convince users to download varying types of software, and while it does not damage the physical hardware of systems, it can steal, encrypt or hijack computer functions.
DENIAL OF SERVICE (DOS)
Denial of Service is a cyber-attack in which the perpetrator seeks to make a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users by temporarily or indefinitely disrupting services of a host connected to the Internet. It is typically accomplished by flooding the targeted machine or resource with superfluous requests in an attempt to overload systems and prevent some or all legitimate requests from being fulfilled.
We offer two different network penetration testing services to guide your organization to a better security posture and program.
Internal Network Penetration Testing
Using a device connected to your internal environment, our consultants will discover security vulnerabilities present within the internal network environment. These activities simulate that of a malicious attacker.
External Network Penetration Testing
Assuming the role of a malicious attacker from the public Internet, our consultants will identify security flaws within your external network environment. These flaws can include patching, configuration, and authentication issues.
