Penetration Testing

In order to see our networks’ true vulnerabilities, we need to assess them as a hacker would.  A network Penetration Test does just that.  A Penetration Test simulates a cyberattack to assess your security.  It can uncover vulnerabilities which lead to breaches, identity theft or unauthorised access to your data.  

Consequences of a data breach can be acute.  There is usually business downtime and the hacker will time the attack to occur at the most inconvenient period of the week or month.

The loss of confidential client data leads to a reputational hit which often leads to a loss of business.  In some sectors this can be fatal.

Victim organisations can face legal and regulatory consequences.  We all have a duty of care for information we hold on other organisations and individuals.  Failing to take appropriate measures to keep information safe can lead to punitive fines.

A Penetration Test is an expert-led simulated hacking attempt, designed to find vulnerabilities.  It will evaluate your security controls, provide remediation strategies where appropriate, and demonstrate how a hacker could target your data. 

After the Penetration Test, you will receive a report which prioritises risk and recommended actions.  It should be a regular insight for every business.
