Penetration testing

How well is your organization secured?
The most accurate way to know your organizational weaknesses is to examine your business environment the way a hacker would, through manual security penetration testing (ethical hacking). Our experienced team will help you get secured.

What is Penetration Testing?

Identify exploitable vulnerabilities in your system before hackers can discover and exploit them. A penetration test is a legal attempt at gaining access to a computer system or network. Our penetration testing service will provide an excellent view of the actual security state of the environment as well as the organizational security state.

Pentests can be divided into a Black, White, and/or Grey box test:

Black box testing is where the third-party tester is not provided with any information about the system or network to be tested.

In White box testing, testers are given most of the information they need including source codes, IP addresses, and network diagrams. Using this information, they would then be required to identify any weaknesses in the system.

Grey box testing is the name for a combination of both black and white penetration tests.

How we work

We provide a holistic range of security testing services that can test all aspects of an organization’s defense against attackers, both externally and internally. We aim to gain access to your systems, demonstrate how we did it, and then provide advice about remedying security deficiencies. We follow a transparent work process:

01

Start & kick-off

Our team will work together with you to define the correct scope and identify all critical applications, systems, and networks to be included. According to the type of pentest, we will need the appropriate amount of access.

02

Penetration test

With hands-on interactive testing, we incorporate a wide range of attack methodologies.
All found vulnerabilities, and non-findings, are documented, and thoroughly reviewed within our team.

03

Preliminary reporting

We provide you with a comprehensive document that summarizes the findings, observations, and recommendations resulting from the penetration testing engagement.

04

Post-testing insight

Together we walk through the found vulnerabilities and adjust the scoring if needed. We provide you with specific insight into how we entered your system and what to do to fix it.

05

Re-testing

Within a reasonable timeframe, we can retest the fixed issues, and adjust the report accordingly. This additional step ensures that any changes made are accurately reflected and the overall quality of the project is maintained.

06

Final reporting

This final report serves as a crucial deliverable to your organization and provides valuable insights into the security posture of your systems, networks, and applications.

Our Pentest Services

Our certified penetration testers use up-to-date hacking methodologies and innovative technology to identify vulnerabilities, create attack vectors, and exploit these to gain privilege or access. Executing penetration tests help protect your organization against the most current hacking trends. Our team is trained to replicate the mind of a malicious attacker and use an exhaustive set of tools to perform and imitate this mindset.

We provide a range of different penetration testing services, from web and mobile applications to internal network or external infrastructure testing and reviews of components within your organization’s infrastructure, such as servers, workstations, or network devices.

Wireless network

Unsecured wireless networks can enable attackers to enter your network and steal valuable data. Wireless penetration testing identifies vulnerabilities, quantifies the damage these could cause, and determines how they should be remediated.

Cloud testing

With specific rules of engagement set by each provider, cloud penetration testing is not straightforward. Our range of custom cloud security assessments can help your organization overcome these challenges by uncovering and addressing vulnerabilities that could leave critical assets exposed.

Web application

Web applications play a vital role in business success and are an attractive target for cybercriminals. Our ethical hacking services include website and web app penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities including SQL injection and cross-site scripting problems plus flaws in application logic and session management flows.

Social engineering

People continue to be one of the weakest links in an organization’s cyber security. Fortytwo Security’s social engineering penetration testing service includes a range of email phishing engagements designed to assess the ability of your systems and personnel to detect and respond to a simulated attack exercise.

Network - external or internal

Fortytwo Security rigorously investigates your network to identify and exploit a wide range of security vulnerabilities. This enables us to establish if assets such as data can be compromised, classify the risks posed to your overall cyber security, prioritize vulnerabilities to be addressed, and recommend actions to mitigate risks identified.
