Penetration Testing
What is Penetration Testing
Penetration testing, also referred to as pen testing, is a process of reviewing security posture of critical IT assets as a simulated real world attack. Testing scope may contains network systems, application, and other IT systems deemed critical to the organization. As part of penetration tests (pen tests) exploitable vulnerabilities and weaknesses going to be identified.
During Pen test, testers are actively attempt to ‘exploit’ vulnerabilities and exposures in a company’s infrastructure, applications, people and processes. Through exploitation, Netlogic is able to provide context around the vulnerability, impact, threat and the likelihood of a breach in an information asset.
According to our previous experience, It was frequently possible for our pen tester to gain remote access to operating systems, application logic and database records etc. Netlogic also can provide strategic guidance on risk and tailored advice on counter measures.
Why Penetration Testing?
frequent penetration testing brings organization numerus benefits. few of them are
- Better way to manage risk – Pen test provide better visibility over exploitable vulnerabilities and weaknesses of the systems by identifying them and allows you to remediate them by giving opportunity to take better investment decisions.
- Proactive approach to protects clients, partners and third parties – Ten Testing is another form of proactive due diligence to protect information assets of your clients, partners and third parties. Regular pen testing is good indication that you take cyber security seriously, and it builds trust and a good reputation and provide competitive advantage over other competitors.
Types Of Penetration Tests?
There are internal and external penetration tests, dependant on whether the tester is conducted within the physical environment of the organization or from internet facing environment. Both type of tests can be conducted with (white box testing) or without (back box testing) knowledge about the environment been assessed.
This type of testing assesses security through the eyes of an internal user, a temporary worker, or an individual that has physical access to the organization’s IT environment.
Internal penetration tests are conducted from within an organisation, over its Local Area Network (LAN) or through WIFI networks. The tests often initiate with simple vulnerability scan and further emphasis will with whether it is possible to gain privilege access to systems, application and also to information that are inside the corporate environment.
During an internal penetration test, testers assess the possibility whether it is possible to extract data from the corporate environment and bypass any other security measures that have been put in place and to gain access to sensitive data including PII, PCI card data, R&D material and financial information.
As its would name suggests, the external Pen tests performed on organization’s infrastructure from outside of the perimeter firewall from the Internet. It assesses the environment from the view of an internet hacker, a competitor with limited information about the internet facing environment.
External pen testing will assess the security controls configured on the external facing routers, perimeter firewalls and Web Application Firewalls (WAFS) that protect the perimeter from external threats.
Similarly external pen tests will also provide the ability to assess effectiveness of security controls available to safeguard external facing internal applications and systems. Netlogic recognises that there is increasing logic being built into web services to deliver extranet, e-commerce and supply chain management functions to Internet users.
What Is The Penetration Testing Process?
Netlogic has a robust testing methodology that extends across infrastructure and application testing engagements. Although every penetration test is tailored to our clients’ individual needs, we follow the same proven methodology so as to maintain a consistent and reproducible set of results.
- Phase 1: Scoping
- Phase 2: Reconnaissance and Enumeration
- Phase 3: Mapping and Service Identification
- Phase 4: Vulnerability Analysis
- Phase 5: Service Exploitation
- Phase 6: Pivoting
- Phase 7: Reporting and Debrief
Testing Report & Documentation
You will receive a high-level management report and an in-depth technical review document for each engagement. These documents will highlight security vulnerabilities and identify possible areas for exploitation.
In addition, our repots will provide guidance on remediation, with a focus on preventative countermeasures.
