Penetration Testing Services

A pentest can be conducted in several ways, depending on the individual requirements of the organisation. However, there are three main pentesting methods, which are as follows:

• Black Box Testing: This method sees the IT experts approach this exercise from the point of view of someone with no existing familiarity of the system that they are trying to gain unauthorised access to. This means that the testers have to undertake their own research into the network, work at understanding it, and then investigate potential security flaws that they could exploit to gain unauthorised access.
• Grey Box Testing: This process is conducted through the scenario of the cyber hacker possessing minimal information of the system they are working to breach. This could mean that they have limited access privileges, and then ascertaining the extent of the damage that could be cause with this restricted access.
• White Box Testing: This form of ethical hacking is conducted from the perspective of a hacker with complete knowledge of the scope of the network they are working to breach, as well as full access privileges, to ascertain what damage could be done in this scenario. By conducting pen testing services from these different perspectives, the pentesters will be in the optimal position to gauge the full extent of damage that the business’ networks are at risk of.

What pentesting procedure is best suited for your business will be dependant on a number of factors, including the scope of your IT systems, what sort of information is stored on its systems, and so on. Therefore, it is recommended that business’ have a pre-consultation before commissioning a pentesting service, so that you can explain the information security issues that you are seeking to address, and they will be able to make appropriate recommendations about what type of pentest would best suit your operations.
