What Penetration Testing Companies Do ?

[daniels]

Penetration testing (http://penetrationtestingcompanies.org/) simulates covert and hostile network attack activities in order to identify specific exploitable vulnerabilities as well as they expose potential entryways to vital or sensitive data that, if discovered and misused by a malicious individual, could pose increased risk and liability to the organization, its executives and shareholders.

Our qualified security consultants (https://securelayer7.net/) perform penetration tests attempt to gain access to online assets and company resources through the network, servers and desktops, from either the internal or external perspective, much like an intruder would. These results clearly articulate security issues and recommendations and create a compelling event for the entire management team to support a security program.

Planning and data gathering—Define the goals of the penetration testing. Which systems will be included? What testing methods will be used? Gather data on the attack target, which may include the network or domain name, for example.

Scanning—Tools are used to gather more data and information on the target. Examples include a vulnerability scanner and DAST tools, which are discussed in more detail in the next section.

Gaining access—Web application attacks such as Cross-Site Scripting or SQL Injection are launched to expose vulnerabilities. Pen testers try to expose these vulnerabilities by stealing data or increasing permissions. The goal is to understand how much damage can be done.

Maintaining access—Determine if the exposed vulnerability can be used to achieve a persistent presence in the application. In other words, can the attacker get deep within the web app, accessing sensitive data and causing more harm?

Covering tracks—The attacker takes care to remain undetected. Changes made to the system must be returned to a state that will not raise a red flag.

Penetration Testing or pen testing is a method of testing an organization's data defence from a controlled ethical hacking environment. Scope of the penetration test is defined and a penetrating testing company will attempt to hack into a company's network to expose and exploit an organization's network weaknesses.
