Network Penetration Testing (Pen Testing)

Coolcat Inc Network Security Consulting Services

Network penetration testing (aka pen testing) and timely identification of network vulnerabilities is something every organization needs done before hackers or disgruntled insiders exploit the weaknesses. The process of identifying vulnerabilities, evaluating the risk, remediation, and reporting is called vulnerability management. By running penetration tests, organizations are able to more efficiently find and fix security vulnerabilities within their network.

Automated pen testing techniques can only go so far in detecting potential attack paths, and changes in technology and business process are reducing vulnerability assessment effectiveness even further. Deeper penetration testing is needed to augment existing vulnerability management processes, especially in light of the rising level of targeted attacks.

Standard penetration testing is a method of probing and identifying security vulnerabilities in your network and the extent to which they could be exploited by a hacker. These tests are typically performed using automated tools that look for specific weaknesses, technical flaws or vulnerabilities to exploit, with the results presented to the system owner with an assessment of their risk to the networked environment and a remediation plan highlighting the steps needed to eliminate the exposures.

Vulnerability management and penetration testing work hand in hand to close any potential openings available to corporate attackers. Together, vulnerability management and penetration testing enhance security and lessen the probability that the criminals could penetrate your systems.
