We conduct a layered security evaluation aimed at simulating threat scenarios and identifying vulnerabilities in your cloud services, IT systems, and web applications. Each testing phase is precisely tailored to meet specific security requirements and objectives.

1. External Attacker Simulation (Black-Box & OSINT)

Open Source Intelligence (OSINT): We gather data about customers and technical systems from publicly available sources.

Black-Box Testing: We examine systems and applications externally, without access to internal data or systems, to pinpoint vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an external attacker.

2. Attacker Simulation with User Access (Grey-Box I)

User-Level Simulation: Tests are performed using the credentials of regular users to uncover vulnerabilities visible to authenticated users. AKA assumed breach scenario.

3. Attacker Simulation with Privileged Access (Grey-Box II)

Privileged-Level Simulation: We use higher privileges to detect vulnerabilities that occur due to higher access levels and potentially pose more significant threats.

4. Architecture and Configuration Review (White-Box)

White-Box Testing: This involves a thorough examination of the internal architecture and configuration of systems to identify vulnerabilities stemming from improper settings or security weaknesses.

5. Reporting

Upon completion of the test phases, we compile detailed findings in a report and deliver a comprehensive management summary that outlines methodologies, findings, and recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is red teaming, vulnerability assessment, and penetration testing?
closeAccordion

Red teaming involves simulating real-world attacks to test your security. A vulnerability assessment identifies security weaknesses in your system. Penetration testing, or pen-testing, involves performing controlled attacks to understand how those weaknesses could be exploited.

Who should perform penetration tests?
openAccordion

Penetration tests should be conducted by qualified security professionals. These experts use specialized tools and techniques to safely identify and exploit vulnerabilities, providing insights into how to better secure your systems.

How long do penetration tests last?
openAccordion

Penetration tests can vary in duration, typically ranging from a few hours to several days. The time required depends on the size and complexity of the system being tested.

What are the most commonly exploited vulnerabilities?
openAccordion

Commonly exploited vulnerabilities include issues like SQL injections, where attackers manipulate database queries, and cross-site scripting (XSS), which involves inserting malicious scripts into web pages viewed by others.

What are black-box, grey-box, and white-box testing?
openAccordion

Black-box testing, the tester has no prior knowledge of the system. Grey-box testing provides some background information, while white-box testing involves full access to all system details, simulating different levels of insider knowledge.
