External Network Penetration Testing Services

InfoSight will thoroughly answer these questions and more by identifying exactly where your systems are vulnerable and by testing the impact and risk associated with these vulnerabilities. Our external network penetration testing activities will reveal how effective your organization's security policies and precautions actually are in protecting your assets and information. We will also identify the extent to which your system can be compromised before an actual attack.

The purpose of an external network penetration is to simulate a real cyber-attack on the perimeter (or internet facing side) of your network in order to find vulnerabilities. Once the vulnerabilities have been found, the opportunity for remediation is clear as crystal.

An external network penetration test is only the first step to hardening the security of your network’s perimeter. Once your vulnerabilities are apparent, you can effectively and actively stop cyber-criminals in their tracks. Not only does an external network penetration test present you with the opportunity for remediation, but it also reveals any possible point of entry for a cyber-criminal.

Without regular network testing (such as an external network penetration test) you may never know when or where an attack may originate and you have no way of stopping it once it has begun. Your network is basically stationary while cyber-criminals are constantly cruising around looking for their next easy score.

Here are some questions to ask to determine how vulnerable your network may be:

• How long ago was my last vulnerability test?
• How many changes and or upgrades has my network had since my last vulnerability test?
• Do the counter measures I have in place to prevent an intrusion actually work?
• What security layers should I implement next to best protect my company's assets?
• Do I know where confidential and sensitive data is located on my network enterprise wide?
• How do I know if my IT Security reports are accurate?
