During penetration testing engagements, our consultants assume a pre-agreed upon role, usually that of an outside motivated attacker or an internal malicious employee. From this perspective, we use a strict methodology to breach defensive systems and attempt to retrieve a trophy—a resource or piece of critical business information that proves we were able to break into your systems. Once this is complete, we provide a report detailing the techniques we used, the systems we broke into, and, of course, how to fix the flaws.
Benefits of penetration testing are as follows:
• Allow mature organizations to realize their true security level
• Rationalize information security investment
• Measure IT effectiveness
• Meet regulatory requirements
