Penetration Testing

Penetration testing or ethical hacking is a simulated cyberattack on a computer system, network, or web application in order to find and fix security vulnerabilities.

It is a valuable security testing method that can help organizations identify and fix weaknesses and vulnerabilities in systems, networks or applications before they can be exploited. It allows for proactive security measures to be taken to strengthen defences before a real malicious attack occurs.

    The Importance of Penetration Testing in Modern Business Security

    In an era where digital threats are constantly evolving, penetration testing emerges as a critical shield for companies seeking to fortify their cyber defenses. This proactive approach involves simulating cyber-attacks on a company’s systems, applications, and networks to identify vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. By uncovering and addressing these security gaps, organizations can not only safeguard their valuable data and assets but also ensure compliance with regulatory standards, thereby avoiding potential fines and reputational damage. Moreover, penetration testing offers insights into the effectiveness of an organization’s security policies and incident response capabilities, providing a comprehensive view of its cybersecurity posture. In essence, by making penetration testing a cornerstone of their security strategy, companies can enhance their resilience against cyber threats, protect stakeholder interests, and maintain customer trust in an increasingly interconnected world.

    Effective Penetration Testing

    Archway Securities uses a team of trusted ethical hackers utilizing the same tools and techniques that an adversary would use to safely test your IT systems by attempting to breach the system’s security. This will highlight vulnerabilities within the IT systems. These can be assessed and ranked as regards the impact on the business and remedial measures can be suggested to reduce the risk of attack.

    Penetration testing is often done in conjunction with a Risk Assessment audit and is an important part of a cybersecurity program.

    Our experienced team use a variety of security assessment tools to assist with penetration testing and can undertake white box, black box, or grey box testing. Typically testing takes 1 to 3 weeks to complete depending on the complexity of the IT systems and network and strength of your existing cybersecurity. Our team will typically follow a testing process:

    • Initial documentation – terms of engagement, NDA, safety precautions, disposal of data etc.
    • Planning and Resourcing – defining the scope and goals, testing methods and tools. Potential impact/disruptions on systems and communication.
    • Scanning – understanding how the target application will respond to various intrusion attempts.
    • Gaining Access – use a variety of attacks methods to uncover vulnerabilities and gain access.
    • Maintaining Access – see if the vulnerability can be used to achieve a persistent presence in the exploited system.
    • Analysis – the results of the testing, including vulnerabilities that were exploited, sensitive data that was accessed and the amount of time the pentester was able to remain in the system undetected.
    • Report and Remediate – prepare a comprehensive report outlining the vulnerabilities and their potential impact, along with recommended remediationactions.
    • Retest – After fixes and remedial actions have been implemented, conduct another round of testing to verify that vulnerabilities have beensuccessfully addressed.
    • Learn and Improve – Analyse the test results to identify areas for improvement in security controls, policies, and employee training, and applylessons learned for future security enhancements
