Our Network Penetration Testing Process
Our methodology mirrors the steps a real attacker would take, from probing exposed services to escalating inside your environment.
- Pre-Engagement & Scoping
Define rules of engagement, testing boundaries, and goals. - Reconnaissance
Identify exposed systems, open ports, and potential vulnerabilities. - Vulnerability Analysis
Analyze assets for weak configurations, outdated software, or exploitable services. - Exploitation
Attempt exploitation to demonstrate impact (unauthorized access, privilege escalation, etc.). - Post-Exploitation
Assess lateral movement potential and access to sensitive data. - Reporting & Debrief
Provide detailed findings, risk ratings, remediation guidance, and optional debrief sessions.
Types of Network Penetration Testing
- External Network Testing
Assess internet-facing assets like firewalls, VPNs, and exposed services. - Internal Network Testing
Simulate a compromised device or insider threat to test your internal posture. - Wireless Testing
Evaluate wireless networks for weak encryption, misconfiguration, or rogue access points. - Social Engineering
Test staff readiness with phishing or pretexting campaigns.
