Penetration-Testing

Penetration-Testing

Would you like to recognize your IT security gaps in good time? Are you unsure whether your digital infrastructure has weak points? Our cyber security experts check this comprehensively, quickly and with a lot of experience.

Have a penetration-test performed - what is a pentest?

A penetration test, or so-called pentest, checks the security of an IT system. If you bring your systems to market quickly, your developers often do not have enough time and sometimes not the knowledge to take care of cyber security. And this is exactly where our services start.

Have a penetration-test performed - what is a pentest?

Why may your company need penetration-tests?

If security gaps are found in systems by hackers, this can quickly have unpleasant consequences. The consequences are manifold: The intruder can paralyze your systems and make them unusable for you and your customers. Sensitive data can be stolen and published. It takes a long time for you to restore all your systems. The hacker can demand a ransom to free the systems again. All of these consequences are detrimental to your business. This can cost you huge sums of money, damage your company's image and scare away customers.

When should you do a penetration-test?

Pentests are usually carried out immediately after the implementation of new infrastructure and applications. Another point in time when pentests are sensibly carried out is when significant changes such as software updates or patches are made.

What types of penetration-tests are there?

Among other things, we carry out white box, black box or gray box pentests. The selection of the procedure is based on the level of knowledge and information that the pentester receives from the company at the beginning of the task. In black box pentesting, for example, the tester receives only minimal information about the target system, while in white box testing a high level of information and access was provided by the company in question. This spectrum of knowledge makes different test scenarios possible for different situations.

What do I get with a pentest report?

In order to know the status of the security level of your IT systems, the summarized reports of the penetration test are decisive. This enables you to inform the management of your company about identified security gaps and possible risks. In addition, your IT department receives a list with technical details so that the errors can be corrected promptly.
