External Pen Testing Details
An External Penetration Test, also known as our Perimeter Security Assessment, is performed remotely from the Internet. Unlike purely automated engagements like many of our competitors, each report by Spohn is handcrafted with individually-verified and documented vulnerabilities.
Our expert security consultants, i.e. white-hat ethical hackers, attempt to identify vulnerabilities in your external-facing systems by using automated tools and manual hacking methodologies. Clients can choose the effort level they desire which ranges from simple identification and documentation of vulnerabilities to full exploitation.
Penetration Testing Effort Levels
- Potential
- Scanning tools hunt for security holes in Internet-facing devices. Clients receive basic reports with raw data.
- Probable
- Security engineers find probable vulnerabilities, provide a detailed report on hacker methods, and offer remediation recommendations.
- Exploit
- Deploys known attack methods to exploit probable vulnerabilities. This tests intrusion detection and security monitoring systems.
