Penetration Testing

CREST accredited Penetration Testing services examining business infrastructure and systems to identify security vulnerabilities.

Identify security vulnerabilities before the hackers do

A penetration test is an exercise where an ethical hacker will try to compromise an organisation (or asset) in an attempt to identify existing security vulnerabilities. In essence, a penetration test is an authorised simulated cyberattack on a computer system.

The objective of the penetration test is to simulate a real-world attack scenario to determine if a client could be compromised by a real-world cybercriminal. Once vulnerabilities are identified, and the client is informed, they can fix the security holes.

Penetration Testing can be focused on a number of areas within your business.

These can be assessed independently or in combination to provide an more holistic insight
