Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing Services
Weltedulearn offers vulnerability assessments and penetration testing services. Our team of cybersecurity professionals is highly skilled and conducts thorough penetration testing to identify and address each vulnerability effectively.
Penetration testing, also referred to as pen testing, involves simulating a cyber attack on a computer system to assess the presence of exploitable vulnerabilities. “White hat” penetration testing entails orchestrating simulated cyber attacks using strategies and tools to gain access to or exploit computer systems, networks, websites, and applications. Both manual and automated penetration tests are typically employed to systematically compromise servers, endpoints, web applications, wireless networks, network devices, mobile devices, and other potential points of vulnerability. This encapsulates the essence of Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing Services.
Why you need Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing Services ?
Every organization prioritizes security as an essential aspect of safeguarding networks, systems, mobile applications, and website applications. At Red Team Security, we incorporate penetration tests into our daily activities to ensure ongoing security measures.
Penetration tests play a crucial role in assessing the overall security of an organization’s IT infrastructure. Even if a company maintains robust security protocols in one area, vulnerabilities may exist in others. Given the high cost of cyber attacks, it is imperative for organizations to proactively address security weaknesses rather than waiting for a real-world scenario to unfold.
A 2015 investigation by the Ponemon Institute, analyzing 350 organizations across 11 countries that experienced data breaches, revealed that 47% of breaches were caused by malicious attacks, with the remainder attributed to human error and system glitches. This underscores the importance of engaging Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing Services to fortify organizational defenses.
Types Of Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing Services
System And Network Penetration Testing
External Network Penetration Testing:
Penetration tests are crafted to assess the efficacy of perimeter security controls in both detecting and preventing attacks. Additionally, they aim to pinpoint weaknesses in internet-facing assets such as FTP, SSH, SMB, and web servers. Through our analyses, we identify potential attack pathways within the network, focusing on how unauthorized individuals outside your organization might gain access via servers or network equipment connected to the internet.
Internal Network Penetration Testing:
Conducting internal penetration testing provides a comprehensive understanding of the potential actions an attacker could take upon gaining initial access to a network. This form of testing is instrumental in unveiling insider threats, whether they arise from intentional or unintentional malicious actions by employees. Our services include the management of internal threats to a company’s network. Internal testing specifically explores how employees or insiders might inadvertently or intentionally cause a breach through negligence, malice, or the inadvertent downloading of applications. This differs from external testing, which focuses on the methods remote hackers could employ to access networks.
System Penetration Testing:
Indeed, system penetration testing is inherently a subset of network penetration testing, as the system must be linked to the network for attack simulations. If attackers gain access to the network through ports like SSH and SMB, they potentially can assume control over the system. Unauthorized access to the network creates an avenue for hackers to inject malware, viruses, and ransomware. It’s important to note that attackers require a network connection to carry out these actions.
