Infrastructure (Network) Penetration Testing
Infrastructure (Network) Penetration Testing is a critical way to ensure your firm is secured in a real-world situation, and it should be a component of your overall Cyber Security Strategy. Moreover, it also ensures that the network-based security controls and security operations are operationally successful.
Our Infrastructure (Network) Penetration Test service simulates how a competent and motivated attacker would search the network for weak components (from the network to the application level).Request a free consultation!
The infrastructure (network) penetration testing technique is centered on ensuring that your IP-based network security evaluation is completed in a systematic and logical manner.
Depending on the level of assurance necessary, Cyber Breach Guard can either disclose serious vulnerabilities being discovered or attempt to exploit them to illustrate the extent of the opening of your network by vulnerability, giving an attacker a chance to obtain a persistent foothold.
Prior to the exploitation, the dangers of executing an exploit on your business will be presented so that you can make an informed decision about the justification of the risk.
Exploitation may be required for compliance reasons in some cases, and we will be happy to discuss this with you if this applies to you.
Overview
Network penetration tests are classified into three types:
External Infrastructure (Network) Penetration Testing: acting as an attacker on the Internet, attempting to compromise your company’s Internet presence.
Internal Infrastructure (Network) Penetration Testing: testing from the perspective of an attacker who has acquired access to your internal business network or a malevolent low-level employee in your network.
If wireless is employed in the firm, this might involve a wireless evaluation.
The areas included in each sort of evaluation are detailed in the table below:
External Infrastructure (Network) Penetration Testing
- Open source data gathering
- Port Scanning
- Web Services and application unauthenticated testing
- Database Services
- VPN Endpoints
- RPC Endpoint Services
- Other Exposed Services Assessment
- Host discovery
- Vulnerability Scans with manual confirmation of findings
- Remote management interfaces
- Mail Servers
- RPC Endpoint Services
Internal Infrastructure (Network) Penetration Testing
- Host discovery
- Vulnerability scans with manual confirmation of findings
- Remote management interfaces
- Windows Networks, Domains and Forests
- Other Exposed Services Assessment
- Use of wireless security measures
- Corporate separation with wireless networks
- Port Scanning
- Web Services and application unauthenticated testing
- Database Services
- RPC Endpoint Services
- Wireless Assessment of one or more offices
- Intra client wireless protection
- Guest and corporate wireless network segregation
Scenario-Based Testing
The above describes a comprehensive strategy for network penetration testing — find all the flaws.
There is a distinct sort of internal infrastructure (network) penetration test that can be done apart from that isolating a single point of access and aims to obtain as much as possible from that entry point can be undertaken.
This is known as a scenario-based test. In this test, our specialists will meet with your team to discuss security breaches — for instance, one who may have access to the company office late at night will be the third-party cleaners, and your organization wants to know what will be the role of the unsupervised non-staff persons if they connected to the corporate network.
This is indeed a customized interaction in which our security experts will comply on an initial point for the commitment (for example, starting outside the workplace and to use WIFI to gain access to network) and the user will then provide a set of targets (flags) – for example, revealing the components of a test file called ‘test’ on a constrained share or the insides of a test emailed between the CEO and CFO pertaining to registration with companies.
This sort of evaluation is generally restricted in time, but the results tend to make the case for more stringent security measures within the organization.
The infrastructure (network) penetration test result will include a brief non-technical synopsis describing the network’s overall security. This brief will assist budget approvers to immediately grasp the risk that the network presently poses, as well as the budgetary, timeline, and resource implications of any repair.
The report will also provide comprehensive details about each vulnerability discovered, such as an identified risk, intensity of attack rating, a CVE reference, the CVSS v2 score and vector, and any evidence to back it up.
If a variety of remediation solutions are available, the benefits and drawbacks of each will be discussed. Any possible issues that a repair may create will be stated, if applicable.
This report format will help the company to determine on the best way to proceed to resolve the vulnerability and thereby lower the security flaws of the company’s network.
