A comprehensive assessment of websites and custom applications deployed specifically over the Internet, uncovering coding and development errors that could be maliciously exploited. Before embarking on a web Pentest, it is essential to clarify how many applications need to be tested, including the number of static pages, dynamic pages, and input fields to be checked.
Authentication, authorization, data leakage and session processing. To perform a Pentest, testers need to know both operating system types and versions. In addition, testers can use an app under test, the number of API calls, and the requirements for jailbreaking.
Similar to its cousin penetration testing (which uses simulated cyberattacks against your systems to identify vulnerabilities), cloud penetration testing (pen testing) engages the same concept but is performed on cloud-native systems. This form of security testing is used to identify security risks and vulnerabilities, and provide actionable remediation advice.
If the Penetration Test is about your network, it is called Network Penetration Test. Firewalls, servers, WLANS, VLANS and VPN accesses are tested against security gaps and vulnerabilities.
An assessment of the network infrastructure on-premises and in the cloud, such as virtual system hosts, routers, and switches. A Pentest can be conducted either as an internal Penetration Test, which focuses on resources within the corporate network or as an external Penetration Test, which also targets the corporate network infrastructure that is accessible via the Internet. To plan a test, you need to know the number of internal and external IPs to be tested and the size of the subnet.
Social Engineering is one of the many ways in which hackers can gain access to your environment. Although companies invest lots of money in security hardware and software, employees are the weakest link in the chain. Hackers also have lots of time, so they research employees’ social media accounts and try to create an email to persuade them to click the given link in the email or download the attachment. Of course, the link or file is malicious, and it could allow the hacker to penetrate your systems.
Sending emails with malicious links, files, and software is commonly known as Phishing. Please note that there is no malicious link here; just information is requested. On the other hand, social engineering attacks are personalized, and hackers need plenty of time.
