PENETRATION TESTING & RED TEAMING

Test the resilience of your IT infrastructure by simulating real-world attacks, uncovering entry points, and providing actionable remediation guidance.

Engagement Models

⚫

Black Box Testing

No prior knowledge is provided to the testers. Simulates an external attacker's viewpoint and methods, relying on publicly available information and scanning.

βšͺ

White Box Testing

Testers receive network diagrams, source code snippets, and user credentials. Ideal for thorough internal audits and detailed code reviews.

βšͺ

Limited access to system documentation and credentials. Balances realism (mimicking an insider threat or partner) with depth of analysis.

Process Phases

Scoping & Planning

  • β€’ Identify critical assets: production servers, applications, cloud environments.
  • β€’ Define scope of engagement: locations, timeframes, off-limits systems.
