What is a pentest?
A penetration test, also known as a pentest, is a controlled security assessment of your systems. To test your security as effectively as possible, we work in the same way a real attacker would. Our pentesters attempt to find vulnerabilities in your systems, networks, or (web) applications. These vulnerabilities are then used to determine what the potential consequences could be.
Why choose a pentest instead of a vulnerability scan?
Unlike an automated vulnerability scan, a pentest involves manual testing to determine the actual impact of a vulnerability. Our pentesters actively attempt to break into your systems to demonstrate what a cybercriminal could do. A pentest therefore goes much further. After the pentest is completed, you receive a practical report that your team can immediately work with. This allows your security team to resolve vulnerabilities before they can be misused.
Our pentests
Applications are often at the core of your services, but they are also attractive targets for criminals. That is why our pentesters thoroughly examine the code and architecture of your applications to identify vulnerabilities.
Your infrastructure, networks, servers, and cloud environments form the backbone of your organisation. If attackers gain access to these systems, everything is at risk. With our infrastructure pentests, we identify weaknesses in your settings, access rights, and the resilience of your systems.
Black, Grey, or White Box pentesting
There are different ways to perform a pentest and the right approach depends on your objectives. A Black Box pentest is conducted without any internal knowledge, similar to that of an external attacker. A Grey Box pentest involves partial access or knowledge, reflecting insider threats. During a White Box pentest, full access to the systems is provided for an in-depth technical analysis. Our pentesters will help determine which approach best fits your organisation.
Cloud Configuration Review
We also offer Cloud Configuration Reviews. Cloud platforms are powerful, but a single mistake in your settings can leave your critical systems at risk. With our Cloud Configuration Review, we identify vulnerabilities and provide practical recommendations to improve security.
Social Engineering
Don't forget your employees. Firewalls and encryption help, but employees are often the easiest entry point for attackers. Through social engineering tests, we demonstrate how well your team is prepared for phishing, manipulation, and other forms of attack.
