Penetration Testing

Breaches cost money, time, customer confidence, and your credibility. A penetration test identifies your vulnerabilities, provides documentation for due diligence, and heightens your IT security awareness.

Our pen testing services are performed by our security engineers (i.e. white-hat hackers) utilizing advanced tools and methodologies to simulate an attack on your applications, databases, websites, servers, network devices, and computers.  The goal is to determine the feasibility of a successful exploit, it's potential impact on your operations, and the financial cost to your organization.

The Difference

Some IT security vendors rely primarily on automated scanning tools to produce a report and then call that a penetration test. Our expert cybersecurity consultants know that these security scans can throw many false positives, overshadowing the more complex vulnerabilities. That's why every penetration scan we perform receives manual validation efforts to maximize the value and return on your investment. We truly desire that you be able to use the comprehensive information provided in our excellent documentation and deliverables to improve your security posture.
