Penetration Testing

If you want to simulate a cyber attack and understand the consequences of vulnerabilities attackers exploited, you should perform a penetration test. Such a test will tell you whether someone can gain access to your company’s systems and what an attacker could achieve in such a scenario.

Encripto performs penetration testing with extensive use of creativity and manual techniques. Our goal is to simulate relevant attack scenarios and reflect how a professional and motivated attacker with strong technical knowledge would approach your environment.

As a result of the security test, you receive a detailed report, which shows what vulnerabilities affect your company and its operations. Furthermore, the report includes a prioritized remediation plan with specific solutions. This means that you can fix the security issues right away.

When is penetration testing relevant?

This type of testing is commonly used by organizations that want to maintain an updated understanding of their security level and stay ahead of evolving threats. Companies that handle sensitive information, operate under regulatory requirements, or introduce new systems, applications, or infrastructure will particularly benefit from this type of testing.

Overall, penetration testing is an essential component of a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy. Organizations should test network security on a regular basis, since threats are constantly evolving along with changes to the environment. On a general basis, Encripto recommends conducting a penetration security test once a year.

What testing perspectives are available?

A penetration test can be performed from different perspectives. In many cases, a combination of perspectives provides the best results. The scope of the security test will vary depending on the organization’s specific requirements.
