Network penetration testing is a comprehensive test to see how safe and secure your organization is from all angles. We’ll look at how well you can handle different threats and if you’re ready for any potential breaches.
Our goal is to show you how effective your current controls are, and to identify any vulnerabilities that may be there.
Red teaming is like having a hacker in your company’s network. We look for sensitive data, performs exploits, conduct man-in-the-middle attacks, crack passwords, escalate privileges on the network, and we’ll even impersonate users to find sensitive data.
We go beyond identifying vulnerabilities by actually exploiting them to demonstrate what happens if an attacker got access to your network.
Conventional pen testing is highly labor-intensive and expensive, typically conducted once a year for these reasons.
Automating the process allows you to stay on top of internal changes and protect against the latest exploits while also reducing costs by 50% of a one-time traditional test.
Increasing the frequency of tests allows our reports to better demonstrate trending data, enabling your team to track improvements from month to month.
Armor Coded’s automated PenTest is equivalent to hiring a team of eCPPT, OSCP, and OSCE certified consultants with decades of experience and over 13 industry certifications to help you carry out a network penetration test, at half the cost of a traditional penetration test.
Our solution meets compliance requirements for regulated industries including PCI, HIPAA, SOC2, etc., as well as cyber insurance.
We streamline penetration testing by offering immediate results and delivering reports in a matter of days, instead of weeks or months.
Network penetration testing (pen 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.
A vulnerability assessment simply informs an organization about the vulnerabilities that are present within its environment. However, a vulnerability assessment does not attempt to exploit those vulnerabilities to determine the potential impact of successfully exploiting those vulnerabilities. This is not a flaw with vulnerability scanners; they just simply aren’t designed to do this.
Our pen test differs in that it is able to perform exploitation and post-exploitation techniques to demonstrate to customers how successfully exploiting a vulnerability could potentially lead to further access to systems and/or confidential data leakage within their environment.
Traditional penetration tests are extremely time-consuming, whereas automated pen tests can run numerous tools simultaneously, wait for them to complete, automatically analyze the results, and determine its next move. This saves a significant amount of time from simply running one command at a time.
Our results are always verified by a certified ethical hacker through our quality assurance process.
In network penetration tests, several attempts are made to exploit security vulnerabilities with the ultimate goal of gaining access to data and systems. These exploit attempts include targeting patching deficiencies, authentication weaknesses, misconfigurations, and even users (via man-in-the-middle attacks). After an initial compromise, post-exploitation activities occur, which typically include privilege escalation, lateral movement, and enumeration of accessible resources to find sensitive data.
Some of the benefits of network penetration testing include the following:
It is common to expect an executive summary, technical report, and a vulnerability report (or spreadsheet) as part of the final deliverables for a network penetration test. These reports are specifically tailored toward executive and technical audiences to help understand the risks that the environment poses to the organization.
Our platform does indeed actually replicate some of the attacks documented in the MITRE ATT&CK framework, although the reporting structure does not currently include references to the framework at the moment.
