Continuous Penetration Testing
As small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) embrace new technological developments like the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and the internet of things (IoT), they often overlook the security implications of digital transformation. This leaves many organizations vulnerable to cyber theft, scams, extortion, and countless other cyber crimes. As a result, two in three SMBs suffered a security breach in the last year and cyber attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, targeted, and damaging. With the average cost per incident exceeding $380,000 as it is, a single security breach can be detrimental to a small firm. It is, therefore, vital that SMBs begin prioritizing cyber security.
Why Does Your Organization Need a Penetration Test?
Penetration tests allow organizations to assess their cyber security posture based on realistic attack scenarios, which enables them to address issues that would be overlooked if they followed a solely defensive approach.
Penetration tests reveal crucial security flaws.
They expose issues beyond the scope of vulnerability assessments.
Run a penetration test on your schedule: We offer scheduling flexibility. Let us know what day and time you’d like us to perform your penetration test and we can get it scheduled immediately with no delays.
Real-time Notifications: Notifications are always sent out when the penetration test starts and stops, keeping important individuals in the know as to when things are going on. This is also helpful in case there are some alerts that get triggered.
Reports that Drive Results: The data provided in the reports will always be very informative. How these risks affect your organization, where your organization stands compared to its peers, how this compares to the last assessment, etc. are all examples of data that are included in each report.
Affordability: Our pricing is very competitive when compared to traditional penetration testing firms but provides a lot more value for the same or smaller price point.
Transparency at Your Fingertips: Your IT team can always log into their portal to get a list of contacts involved in the project, communicate with our consultant, as well as get a progress update that provides preliminary results and expected completion dates.
Reduce Turnaround Time for Detection and Response: Because all activities are tracked, including any manual activities conducted by a consultant, organizations can download this activity log and correlate activities with their SIEM and incident response procedures. This is extremely useful in helping organizations make adjustments and tweak their controls, reducing the turnaround time for detection and response.
Penetration Test vs Vulnerability Test
A vulnerability assessment essentially just tells the customer that the door is unlocked; however, a penetration test actually tells the customer that, because the door is unlocked, we found an unlocked safe, unsecured jewelry, credit cards, and social security numbers laying around on the bed. It also explains how you could secure the door next time, how to protect the confidential data laying around on the bed, and then some.
What a Vulnerability Test will find:
- Patching vulnerabilities
- Default passwords amongst services
- Configuration deficiencies
- False positive vulnerabilities (e.g. flagging services based on version numbers, not knowing if patches are applied)
What a Penetration Test will find:
- Weak domain user account passwords
- Sensitive files stored on network shares
- Sensitive data within databases
- Weak password policies
- Network share permission issues
- Man-in-the-middle attacks and possibilities
