Network Penetration Tests
Penetration testing information systems’ security are intended to show the actual and potential errors in the architecture or configuration; the software and the use of computer networks which can be used by unauthorised people to destabilize the work of the company to obtain confidential information or data modification. For this purpose, the system under the test is subjected to a series of controlled attacks, simulating a real attempt to breach security and stability of networks using the Internet. Generally the attacks use both techniques and programs, and specialised tools. If you detect weaknesses in the system, we are ready to develop solutions for safer alternatives.
Comprehensive penetration tests include:
- Tests of existing security firmware
- Analysis of software security elements
- Web server security tests
- Web applications tests
- Tests email system
- Tests of other available services
- Analysis of network architecture and various systems’ paths of access
- Tests Denial of Service
Penetration Testing Methodology
Once the threats and vulnerabilities have been evaluated, the penetration testing should address the risks identified throughout the environment. The penetration testing should be appropriate for the complexity and size of an organization. All locations of sensitive data; all key applications that store, process or transmit such data; all key network connections; and all key access points should be included. The penetration testing should attempt to exploit security vulnerabilities and weaknesses throughout the environment, attempting to penetrate both at the network level and key applications. The goal of penetration testing is to determine if unauthorized access to key systems and files can be achieved. If access is achieved, the vulnerability should be corrected and the penetration testing re-performed until the test is clean and no longer allows unauthorized access or other malicious activity.
