Penetration Testing

For more fully mature cybersecurity programs, our battle-tested engineers can safely simulate the actions of a cybercriminal targeting your network and attempt to exploit critical systems to access sensitive data.

This proactive service targets anything in your
company with a live IP address, including servers, desktops, laptops, firewalls, web servers, and web applications.

Put your security to the test.

Typically implemented on an annual basis, penetration testing validates the efficiency of your currently deployed security resources and determines how well employees are following existing security policies. If we detect any weaknesses, we will work with you to develop solutions and strengthen security controls within your company.

What you’ll receive from our penetration testing:

A test that targets anything with a live IP address (servers, desktops, laptops, firewalls, web servers, and web applications)
A detailed report outlining critical findings and suggested remediation steps
A final presentation/executive debriefing of findings, including a Q&A session with your dedicated Avalon Cyber technical resource

How our penetration testing works

During a penetration test, our cyber professionals safely simulate the actions of an adversary targeting your network by attempting to exploit critical systems and access sensitive data. Once weaknesses have been located, you can develop solutions and strengthen security controls within your company.

Our experts study your network’s strengths and weaknesses by collecting intel from both public and private sources (internet searches, social engineering, etc.).

We evaluate all the collected information and decide which tools and techniques – malware, social engineering, SQL injection (a vulnerability that allows an attacker to access or delete data) – to use to infiltrate your network.

Our team utilizes the appropriate tools and techniques to infiltrate the network. In the event of successful exploitation, our tester will engage in post-exploitation activities to simulate how far a potential adversary could infiltrate your organization’s network.

A report is developed with all the findings, and respective remediation recommendations are created and shared with your team. From there, your stakeholders can develop a plan to remediate the findings from the test. Of course, if you need assistance creating a plan, Avalon Cyber’s experts can help with this aspect of your security program as well.
