  • Penetration Testing

You never really know how secure your organisation is before it is hit by a cyber-attack.

That’s why regulators and clients often require vulnerability and penetration testing to mitigate the risk of hacks, ransomware and other exploits. Our highly experienced team includes experts who will look at everything from your architecture to your engineering to your staff to find and exploit key vulnerabilities, mitigating risk while preparing you for the worst.

What is Penetration Testing?

Penetration testing is a form of ‘ethical hacking’ that will assess and test your systems for potential vulnerabilities and weaknesses.

Why is it important?

Your business has invested heavily in security measures to protect it from attack, but our penetration testing services can ensure it works as intended.

How can we help you?

Actionable, prioritised advice will save time and drive efficiency, giving the confidence in best practice security controls across all deployment platforms.

There are two components to delivering Infrastructure Penetration Testing and these are Internal and External assessments. It is commonplace to combine these into a single test that covers both the internal and external components of the network.

  • External Penetration Test

    An External Penetration Test is performed by a qualified OSS security consultant.

    This type of assessment looks for security issues and vulnerabilities from the outside of your corporate network.

    This assessment provides a very comprehensive view of the configuration of your external network devices and servers from a security viewpoint of an outsider.

  • Internal Penetration Test

    At our infrastructure penetration testing company, an Internal Penetration Test is performed by a qualified OSS security consultant who is onsite within your corporate network.

    This type of assessment looks for security issues and vulnerabilities on the inside of your corporate network with the same physical access as a member of staff or other types of employee who has access to the building.

    This assessment provides a very comprehensive view of the configuration of your corporate network devices and servers from a security viewpoint of an insider, connected to your network.

  • Wireless Penetration testing

    During a wireless penetration test, expert white hat hackers step into the role of would-be attackers and attempt to breach your system. Unlike other types of penetration tests, they focus only on exploiting wireless services available to anyone in the physical vicinity of your network. This can include:

    • WiFi networks
    • Cellular networks
    • Wireless printers and scanners
    • Bluetooth devices
    • Wireless devices, such as keyboards and mice
    • Other RF technologies, like RFID

    • By putting the security of your wireless footprint to the test, OSS security consultants can evaluate your security and propose solutions to strengthen it. These can include addressing vulnerabilities, deploying new technology or architecture, and implementing new security policies or procedures.

Common security vulnerabilities

Some vulnerabilities just can’t be detected by automated software tools. By identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities that evade automated online scanning assessments, and providing clear help and advice to remediate issues, Cyber Partner's ethical hacking and security penetration testing services enable you to understand and significantly reduce your organisation’s cyber security risk.

Capabilities that scale

Our approach is flexible and tailored to your risk profile, regulatory requirements and budget so you always have the level of protection you need.

We conduct a comprehensive penetration test of your network, mobile and web applications, APIs and key infrastructure to proactively expose cyber threats. Using the best and most widely recognised guidelines and standards from organisations such as OWASP and NIST, our team will discover what information they can retrieve or exploit, generating a complete risk report with recommended actions and remediation plan.

Using our vast experience, our team will dive into the code behind your service applications to see if there are any security issues or vulnerabilities that may expose your organisation to attacks.

Our “red team” aims to simulate a real-world attack to gain access to your critical assets and data across your whole organisation. Rather than searching for every single vulnerability, red teaming aims to uncover key exploits, identify optimal security configurations and prepare your Security Operation Centre for the real thing.

Purple teaming draws on expertise from both our red and blue teams. While our red team programmatically executes a series of clearly telegraphed attacks on your networks, our blue team will work with your internal security team to show how these different types of attacks can be identified and shut down. This hands-on approach provides excellent training as well as allowing us to properly assess and advise on the most effective configuration of your incident response/management systems.

One of the biggest security vulnerabilities of any organisation is its people. We use social engineering to test the security awareness and preparedness of your staff, using things like phishing emails and fake landing pages to attempt to gain login information from your staff. Thorough training will ensure staff are vigilant against future threats.

With a thorough review of your end-user devices, cloud configurations, servers, VPNs, firewalls or active directory, we can assess the security configuration of your assets to ensure that they can’t be used as a vector to attack your organisation.
