Penetration Testing Services
Penetration testing, also known as pen testing, is a simulated cyberattack on a company’s IT systems, applications, and networks to identify vulnerabilities and assess the effectiveness of current security measures. At Thwart Cyber we deliver the following: .
Web Application Penetration Testing
We test the security of web-based applications, such as online banking and e-commerce websites, to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers.
Mobile Application Penetration Testing
We test the security of mobile applications, such as those used for banking, social media, and messaging, to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers.
Wireless Network Penetration Testing
This involves testing the security of wireless networks, such as those used for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers.
Network Penetration Testing
We test the security of a network infrastructure, such as servers, routers, and firewalls, to identify vulnerabilities and assess the effectiveness of security controls.
AWS Penetration Testing
AWS pen testing is the process of testing the security of an Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment to identify and assess any vulnerabilities that could potentially be exploited by attackers.
Social Engineering Penetration Testing
We test the effectiveness of an organization's policies and procedures for preventing social engineering attacks, such as phishing and pretexting, by attempting to trick employees into divulging sensitive information.
iOT Pen Testing
IoT pen testing is a simulated cyber attack that is performed on IoT devices, systems, and networks to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses that attackers could exploit to gain unauthorized access or control over these devices.
Our Pen Testing Objectives
Assess security controls
Penetration testing can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of security controls in place. This includes testing the strength of passwords, the configuration of firewalls, and the effectiveness of intrusion detection systems.
Test compliance
Penetration testing can be used to test compliance with industry regulations and standards such as HIPAA, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001.
Test physical security
Penetration testing can be used to test the physical security of an organization, including testing access control systems and physical security measures..
Test third-party security
Penetration testing can be used to test the security of third-party vendors or partners that have access to an organization's systems or data.
Provide recommendations
Penetration testing can provide valuable insights and recommendations for improving the security posture of an organization. This includes recommendations for improving security controls, patching vulnerabilities, and training employees on security best practices.
Identify vulnerabilities
One of the primary objectives of penetration testing is to identify vulnerabilities in a system or network. This includes finding weaknesses in the software, hardware, and network infrastructure that could be exploited by attackers.
Test incident response
Penetration testing can be used to simulate an attack and test the incident response procedures of an organization. This can help identify weaknesses in the response plan and provide an opportunity to improve it.
To Reduce The Attack Surface
An attack surface can be defined as the total number of entry points or attack vectors that an attacker can use to exploit vulnerabilities in an organization's network, systems, or applications.
Test social engineering
Penetration testing can be used to test an organization's susceptibility to social engineering attacks, such as phishing or pretexting.
