Penetration Testing
Penetration Testing Service
In a digital world without borders, your company’s security is on the line. Cyberattacks are more sophisticated every day and organizations of every size are exposed. Imagine a hacker stealing your confidential data or bringing your operations to a halt. Do not let it happen!
Our Penetration Testing service puts your digital defenses to the test. We run exhaustive tests on your systems, networks and applications, looking for the “back doors” that hackers could use to launch successful attacks. To carry out this type of audit we rely on a wide range of methodologies such as OWASP, OWASP Mobile, OWISAM, OpenSAMM, OSSTMM, OSINT among others. We also work with the CVSS framework which we use to set the metrics for the characteristics, impact and severity of the vulnerabilities detected.
What is penetration testing?
Penetration testing, also known as pen testing, is a core information security practice that consists of simulating real cyberattacks against systems, networks or applications in order to identify and exploit security vulnerabilities before cybercriminals find them. It is a critical process designed to identify, quantify and prioritize the vulnerabilities in a company’s information systems.
This service is essential to any cybersecurity strategy, as it gives a clear view of the weaknesses attackers could exploit to compromise the security of your network and your data.
It is worth noting that the vulnerability assessment will vary depending on the environment where we run the tests:
Types of Penetration Testing
There are three types of security assessment that can be applied to penetration testing, each with its own approach and methodology. white-box penetration testing means having full knowledge of the system, gray-box penetration testing is a combination of both, and black-box penetration testing is carried out with no prior information.
Black-Box Penetration Testing
Our auditor knows nothing about the infrastructure, applications or systems to be attacked. Only the company name and the scope agreed in advance with our cybersecurity consultants. This variant would be used, for example, if a cybercriminal or a competitor wanted to harm you or obtain sensitive information illicitly.
White-Box Penetration Testing
Our auditor has information about the infrastructure, applications or systems to be attacked, is given an account with limited permissions and, in some cases, access to the source code. The test is run on your premises or through a VPN provided by your organization to guarantee maximum security. It could be used, for example, in the event of a disloyal employee or someone looking to damage the company’s reputation.
Gray-Box Penetration Testing
PROTEGE TU EMPRESA
En el mundo digital actual, las amenazas a la seguridad informática son constantes y cada vez más sofisticadas.
Un solo ataque puede tener consecuencias devastadoras para su negocio.
Why is this service so important for your company?
- Protection against real attacks: Gray-box penetration testing simulates the real attacks that hackers with partial access to your information could carry out, letting you identify and fix vulnerabilities before they are exploited.
Lower risk of security breaches: Removing vulnerabilities significantly reduces the risk of security breaches and confidential data theft, protecting your business-critical information.
Stronger overall security posture: Penetration testing helps you strengthen your overall security posture and demonstrate your commitment to protecting your company’s information, which can improve how clients, partners and investors see you.
Regulatory compliance: Many regulations, such as PCI DSS and HIPAA, require companies to run periodic penetration tests to meet security requirements, avoiding potential penalties or lawsuits.
Greater confidence for your clients and employees: By demonstrating your commitment to information security, you build greater trust among your clients and employees, who will feel safer using your products and services.
