What exactly constitutes the cost of security testing? In this article, we aim to clarify the...
Test your information security for risks
Penetration testing (pentesting) helps identify vulnerabilities in your web apps, networks and physical premises. It helps you better understand the risk of security threats and cyber attacks and to enhance your defences.
Penetration testing shows how well protected you are — from a hacker’s perspective
Digitalization and new technologies present new opportunities, but also new cyber threats. It is increasingly more important for companies to be able to identify their systems’ vulnerabilities and weak points. Penetration testing is an effective way of enhancing your defences and reducing the risk of cyber attacks.
Detect
vulnerabilities
Uncover the weak points of your system or app which could lead to misuse, data leaks or data breaches.
Get a realistic picture of risks
You get a realistic overview of what a hacker could do in reality — and of how large the risk of misuse is.
Demonstrate
compliance
With penetration testing, you show that your app complies with industry and statutory requirements.
Build trust with your stakeholders
A cyber attack could be devastating for your brand and trust. By communicating about your systematic action and penetration testing, you build your clients’ loyalty and create value for your stakeholders.
Ensure
continuity
Penetration testing helps reveal threats and risks. This also helps you ensure your operations avoid unpleasant surprises.
Get a third-party
expert view
With an impartial expert report, you demonstrate to stakeholders and your colleagues the steps you are taking based on professional testers’ views. You can use the report for allocating additional budget, for example.
To whom is penetration testing suitable for?
Penetration testing is suitable for everyone who wants to ensure and develop the technical security of their apps, systems and software.
Penetration testing is particularly useful for actors in critical industries and industries which are highly digitalized and process large amounts of sensitive data.
Penetration testing is worthwhile if
- you use a (business-critical) app or system and want to ensure its security level.
- you want to establish whether your infrastructure is protected, contains exploitable vulnerabilities, and whether you are able to detect or repel attacks.
- you need a third-party “green test report” to demonstrate you have appropriately undertaken security measures.
Service contents
Professional ethical hackers run penetration testing, which means a simulated cyber attack. They test both manually and with automatic tools, just as a malevolent hacker would.
We try to breach the agreed target and misuse the system in a way that should not be possible. The result of penetration testing is a comprehensive report of the findings and how critical they are.
The report tells you what the most critical findings are for you, allowing you to immediately improve the level of your security.
What kind of targets should you test?
It’s particularly important to test:
-
Business-critical systems
-
Apps which process sensitive or confidential information
-
Systems related to critical infrastructure
-
In general, all web apps available publicly on the web
Examples of testable targets:
-
SaaS softwares
-
Patient data systems and customer registers
-
Appointment, invoicing and order systems
-
Food ordering apps, online stores and order-based services
Project model
or continuous security testing?
Project-style penetration tests are appropriate for products or apps that change more slowly. Continuous testing, on the other hand, is an effective solution for apps which are frequently updated.
Our ethical hackers test
according to your needs
We can penetration test a range of targets.
We agree on the scope of the testing individually with you.
Web app penetration testing
When you want to find out whether your product or app contains exploitable vulnerabilities and whether you’ve successfully defended your product/app against malevolent actors.
What do we do?
We look for security vulnerabilities in third-party technologies, proprietary code and architecture.
How do you benefit?
You get a list of detected and verified security vulnerabilities, along with recommended repairs.
Intranet and extranet penetration testing
When you want to establish whether your infrastructure is protected, contains exploitable vulnerabilities, and whether you are able to detect or repel attacks.
IT infrastructure security testing reveals
- whether the part visible on the internet contains flaws which endanger security
- whether they can easily be found and exploited
- how well you can observe if someone is seeking or exploiting them
What do we do?
We try to gain unauthorized access to systems or apps through vulnerabilities.
How do you benefit?
You get a list of the vulnerabilities we detected in the systems or flaws in security configuration. In addition, you learn what methods an attacker would use and the systems they’d capture in the given period.
Mobile app penetration testing
When you want to find out whether your app contains exploitable vulnerabilities and whether you’ve successfully defended it against malignant actors.
What do we do?
We look for security vulnerabilities in third-party technologies, proprietary code and architecture.
How do you benefit?
You get a list of detected and verified security vulnerabilities, along with recommended repairs.
IoT system penetration testing
When you want to find out whether your product or app contains exploitable vulnerabilities and whether you’ve successfully defended your product/app against malevolent actors.
What do we do?
We look for security vulnerabilities in third-party technologies, proprietary code and architecture.
How do you benefit?
You get a list of detected and verified security vulnerabilities, along with recommended repairs.
