Sometimes referred to as "ethical hacking", penetration testing is an active evaluation of an organization information security measures.
In today's complex networked environments the potential exposure to risk is increasing and securing systems is an ongoing challenge.
A penetration test can significantly help safeguard against many network security threats, including financial compromise, damage to reputation, business risk exposure, unwanted legal issues and loss of internet presence.
With the advent of sophisticated, automated exploitation tools and "point-and-click" hacking, anyone with a network connection (internet, corporate, internal) is potentially vulnerable. However, there are effective steps that can be taken to anticipate and mitigate the risks for organizations both large and small.
How Epsilon InfoTech can help
Our penetration testing services team addresses the wide ranging needs of clients. We offer an in-depth and comprehensive service for assessing computer system security, from both external and internal perspectives. At completion of our testing we provide you with a detailed report, which includes recommended actions for improving your security measures.
VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT
We execute automated scans, in which identified weaknesses are not actively exploited, unless it is considered safe to do so. The testing methodology activly considers vulnerability chaining.
PENETRATION TESTING
We actively exploit apparent system weaknesses from the perspective of a hacker, to ascertain the degree of security issue they represent.
APPLICATION TESTING
We run these tests to identify and assess potential threats to software applications, including bespoke or proprietary systems.
WIRELESS SECURITY TESTING
We comprehensively assess the security risks associated with your 802.11 wireless networks.
SOCIAL ENGINEERING
This aspect of security testing revolves around human interaction and primarily involves tricking your staff into breaking security procedures. Social engineering techniques can be integrated into our security testing method if required.
