Penetration Testing

Every day we hear about successful high profile attacks that have been able to exploit a vulnerability on a corporate network and extract valuable data. Whether this is in the form of credit card details, medical records or other personal information, the question posed by security managers remains the same: How can we ensure our network is secure? The answer is penetration testing!

Through penetration testing, we analyse the strength of your network security using vulnerability exploitation methods. Penetration testing identifies security gaps in your IT infrastructure by mimicking an attacker. The penetration test is performed without affecting sensitive data, resulting in a much clearer view of an organisation’s entire security network. Our security experts have extensive penetration testing experience and we have worked with clients from public and private institutions in the financial, healthcare and retail sectors. We perform internal and external penetration tests providing full reports containing information about potential weak security points and vulnerable areas in your email systems, VPN tunnels, firewalls, routers, web servers and other network devices.

Smarttech247 is an ISO27001 and ISO9001 NSAI certified company and we provide Basic Penetration Testing and Full Penetration Testing services.

Basic Penetration Testing

Smarttech247’s Basic Penetration Testing services help organisations remain compliant by making sure that their network’s configuration and patch management are up-to-date. We take proactive and fully authorised attempts to improve your security by simulating an exploit and exploring potentially vulnerable areas.

Full Penetration Testing

Smarttech247’s Full Penetration Testing services evaluate an organisation’s network, applications, endpoints and internal/external attempts to infiltrate its security points. Complementing the basic penetration tests, we will dive deeper into your network’s infrastructure to provide a full overview of vulnerable and compromised areas that hackers could exploit.

What do our penetration testing services help you address?

The risks to your organisation
Compliance to ISO27001, SOX, HIPAA, GDPR, NIST/DFARS and more
What to do in case a hacker finds their way into your network

Network Penetration Testing - Internal / External

We’ll strengthen your network against cyber-attacks with our penetration testing services.

Maintaining a secure network infrastructure and application environment is the best reason to undergo Network & Application Penetration Testing. Additionally, Network Penetration Testing satisfies Requirement for the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), EU GDPR, NIST, ISO27001, and more when performed against your information security environment.

Network Penetration Testing is also an optimal solution for safeguarding your protected health information (PHI), helping you to address your HIPAA and HITECH requirements.

External penetration testing helps identify and exploit vulnerabilities on systems, services and applications exposed to the Internet.

Internal penetration testing emulate a malicious insider or an attacker that has gained access to an end user’s system, including escalating privileges, installing custom crafted malware and/or exfiltrating faux critical data

To provide this service, Smarttech247 simulate the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) of real-world attackers targeting your high-risk cyber assets. Our deep knowledge of advanced persistent threat (APT) attacker behaviour can help you:

Determine whether your critical data is actually at risk
Identify and mitigate complex security vulnerabilities before an attacker exploits them
Gain insight into attacker motivations and targets
Get quantitative results that help measure the risk associated with your critical assets
Identify and mitigate vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that could lead to future compromise

Vulnerability Scanning and Audit

Vulnerability scanning identifies potential harmful vulnerabilities, so that you can remediate processes to ensure network security.

Some mistakenly believe vulnerability scanning is the same thing as a professional penetration test. Here’s the difference: A vulnerability scan is automated, while a penetration test includes a live person actually digging into your network’s complexities.

A vulnerability scan only identifies vulnerabilities, while a penetration tester digs deeper to identify the root cause of the vulnerability that allows access to secure systems or stored sensitive data.

Vulnerability scans and penetration tests work together to improve network security. Vulnerability scans offer great weekly, monthly, or quarterly insight into your network security, while penetration tests offer a more thorough examination of your network security.

The Smarttech247 security team delivers expertise, experience and perspective required to address your security, risk and compliance concerns. Having a clear idea as to what you are trying to accomplish will ensure you get the service you really need.

Web Application Penetration Testing

Web applications have become highly advanced and widely used in organisations. Advanced vulnerabilities can infiltrate even the most sophisticated web applications leaving your organisation exposed. The Smarttech247 Web Application Penetration Testing services help you asses the current web application security, protect sensitive data and stay compliant.

Wireless Network Penetration Testing

Securing Your Wireless World

Smarttech247’s Wireless Security Assessment is designed around the unique considerations of your wireless architecture, configuration, and devices. We use it to evaluate the strength of the security surrounding your wireless networks.

Through the testing, we will:

Identify your wireless networks.
Evaluate wireless security controls, including user/computer management and authentication.
Analyse the strength of wireless encryption schemes.
Assess the configuration of wireless access points and wireless cards.
Attempt to exploit the vulnerabilities we find.
Provide recommendations for mitigating the vulnerabilities we’ve discovered.

Red Team Pentesting

Our Red Team provide a comprehensive threat and vulnerability/penetration assessments. Red teaming is essential to securing your organisation’s assets. Our multidisciplinary approach looks at security from every angle to find risk — from the physical environment to the human element to the role of technology.

WHY DO YOU NEED RED TEAM PENETRATION TESTING?

The penetration testing should attempt to exploit security vulnerabilities and weaknesses throughout the environment, attempting to penetrate both at the network level and key applications. The goal of penetration testing is to determine if unauthorised access to key systems and files can be achieved.

Security Code Review

A secure code review is a specialised task involving manual and/or automated review of an application’s source code in an attempt to identify security-related weaknesses (flaws) in the code. Secure code review is an important of your SDLC (Software Development Lifecycle) process. If you need assistance with your secure code review, contact our experts today!

Social Engineering

No matter how strong your information security is or how technologically advanced systems you use, people will always be the weakest link. Social engineering is the “hacking” of people – if any code is too difficult to break it may be simpler to “ask” the right person.
There are many additional attack vectors when social engineering techniques are part of a Pentest, including Spear Phishing, Spoofing Emails, Malicious USB attacks etc.

At Smarttech247, we provide a range of social engineering attack techniques within our penetration testing services. If you’re not sure whether you need them, drop us an email and we will help you to choose the right service.
