Is your external network really safe from sophisticated attacks? In a world where cybercriminals are constantly developing new methods of attack, traditional safeguards may not be enough. Our external network penetration testing uses the latest techniques and tools to identify the most subtle weaknesses in your network infrastructure. Through in-depth analysis and simulations of real-world threats, we help you secure critical assets and protect your company's reputation from potential security incidents.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you want to know about External Network Penetration Testing

What are external network penetration tests and why are they important for our company?

External network penetration tests are simulated attacks on your external network infrastructure to detect and eliminate security vulnerabilities before they are exploited by cybercriminals. They are critical to protecting your assets, customer data and company reputation. Regular testing helps identify vulnerabilities that can be exploited for unauthorized access, data theft or service disruption.

What is the process of external network penetration testing?

The process of external network penetration testing according to the PTES standard begins with a thorough understanding of your specific infrastructure and business objectives. Our experts collect and analyze information about your network, identifying key components and potential attack vectors. We then conduct a detailed vulnerability analysis using advanced scanning and security assessment tools. During the exploitation phase, we simulate real-world attacks to assess how detected vulnerabilities can be exploited by intruders. Once the testing is complete, we prepare a report with detected vulnerabilities and practical recommendations for addressing them, working with your team to implement the necessary patches. In this way, we provide comprehensive protection for your external network against advanced cyber threats.

What are the most common vulnerabilities detected during external network testing?

During penetration testing of an external network, we most often identify outdated software that may contain known security vulnerabilities, increasing the risk of attacks. Weak passwords and inadequate authentication mechanisms pose a serious threat, allowing unauthorized access to systems. Open ports without adequate security can be an easy entry point for attackers, while misconfigured firewalls allow uncontrolled network traffic. Additionally, lack of proper network segmentation can allow attacks to spread within the infrastructure, increasing the potential damage. Eliminating these vulnerabilities is key to ensuring the security of your external network and protecting against advanced cyber attacks.

How do you ensure the confidentiality and security of our data during and after external network testing?

The security and confidentiality of our customers' data is our top priority. All information provided during testing is protected by a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). We use strict security procedures, including data encryption and access control, to ensure that information is protected both during transmission and storage. Once testing is complete, data is securely deleted in accordance with established retention policies.

Will external network penetration testing help us meet regulatory requirements and security standards?

Yes, external network penetration testing is often a requirement in many regulations and security standards, such as PCI DSS, ISO 27001 and NIS2. Performing the tests helps identify and eliminate vulnerabilities, which is key to meeting regulatory and industry requirements. Additionally, we provide reports and documentation that can be presented during audits or inspections, confirming your company's commitment to data protection and information security.

What are the costs associated with conducting penetration testing of an external network?

The cost of external network penetration testing depends on several factors, such as the scope of work, the complexity of the infrastructure, the number of IP addresses, and your specific requirements. After an initial analysis and determination of the scope of testing, we prepare a personalized offer, tailored to your budget and needs. Investing in penetration testing brings significant benefits, minimizing the risk of serious security incidents and protecting your company's reputation.

Do you offer tests for different types of networks, such as corporate, public or cloud networks?

Yes, our external network penetration testing covers a variety of network types, including corporate networks, public networks and cloud environments. We understand the specifics of each of these networks and tailor our testing methodologies to their unique characteristics and security features. As a result, we can effectively identify and eliminate vulnerabilities specific to each platform, providing comprehensive protection for your network infrastructure.

Does external network penetration testing include a security assessment of network devices and public services?

Yes, our external network penetration tests include a detailed security assessment of all key network devices and web services. We analyze the configurations of these devices and services, identifying potential vulnerabilities such as outdated firmware, misaligned security policies or inadequate traffic filtering rules. In this way, we ensure that all components of your network are properly protected against potential attacks.
