Penetration testing, often referred to as “pen testing,” is a critical process used to evaluate the security of a website by simulating cyberattacks. During a pen test, security professionals, often called ethical hackers, attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in a website’s infrastructure, applications, and networks. This proactive approach helps identify security weaknesses before malicious attackers can exploit them.
Penetration testing is an offensive cybersecurity approach that identifies critical vulnerabilities before the hackers do. Pen Testing is often required by security frameworks and cyber insurance policies to meet compliance standards.
Identify and demonstrate real-world risk by simulating a malicious threat actor, identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities.
Critically evaluate to identify which security controls are working and which ones are not using documented evidence.
Create and deploy remediation strategies to mitigate risk and improve security posture
Automatically perform egress filtering to ensure that your organization is effectively restricting unnecessary outbound traffic. Unrestricted outbound access can allow a malicious actor to exfiltrate data from your organization’s environment using traditional methods and unmonitored ports.
Using a valid set of credentials, vPenTest will attempt to identify valuable areas within your organization. This is conducted through a variety of methods, including the use of Vonahi’s Leprechaun tool which assists in identifying where sensitive targets are.
Critical data leaving your organization is an extremely serious concern. If access to confidential and/or sensitive data can be attained, vPenTest will simulate and log this activity to help your organization tighten areas that should restrict data exfiltration.
Upon the discovery of user account credentials, vPenTest will automatically attempt to validate those credentials and determine where they are most useful. This is a common process executed by both malicious attackers and penetration testers.
With elevated access, vPenTest will attempt to upload malicious code onto remote systems in an attempt to test the organization’s end-point anti-malware controls.
vPenTest generates an executive summary, technical and vulnerability report within 48 hours after the penetration test is complete. Our detailed deliverables will allow your network staff to cross reference our activities with monitoring and alerting controls.
dCypher has partnered with vPen Test by Vonahi Security to offer an automated penetration testing methodology that is backed by experts, CREST certified and SOC 2 Type II Compliant, and is accepted by major cyber insurance carriers to meet ongoing compliance.
Research shows that small businesses account for at least 50% of all reported cyber attacks. Worse yet, 60% of small businesses never recover from a cyber attack because of the financial and reputation damage that results. Small business cybersecurity can be easy and affordable.
