Penetration testing (also known as pen testing) is a security practice whereby a cyber security expert attempts to find and exploit as many vulnerabilities in an environment. The purpose of such an exercise is to identify weak spots that an actual attacker could take advantage of, and gain valuable insight on how to improve and protect the tested environment.
At Content Security, we mainly focus on internal and external infrastructure, wireless networks, as well as web and mobile applications. With a simple scoping call, we can assist you in selecting the right penetration test for you. Our penetration testing services will:
Our security consultants use a combination of manual and automated techniques to identify vulnerabilities. Once identified, the tester attempts to exploit the vulnerabilities to see what additional access, information and privileges can be gained. We don’t just give a best effort test or simply attempt to get in. Instead, we work to find all vulnerabilities and provide a full audit for potential security issues. This type of laser-like focus helps your organisation build a more resilient and impenetrable security posture.
Our network penetration tests uncover and exploit vulnerabilities in your internal, external, mobile and wireless infrastructures. In simulation of an attack scenario, attempts will be made to compromise information assets.
Our testers identify security vulnerabilities in your web and mobile applications (or APIs) that could allow for the disclosure of sensitive information or the disruption of services by outside attackers.
Our social engineering assessments cover phishing, vishing and USB drop campaigns. These types of tests are designed to simulate the psychological persuasion of your personnel and gauge their security awareness.
We identify which internal vulnerabilities are placing your organisation at risk. This includes looking at if your domain can be compromised, personal information can be breached, or the availability of systems and services.
Listed below are just some of the test types we conduct. For a full list of the assessments and audits we do, please contact our security professionals.
We detect possible attack surfaces and identify security issues, misconfigurations, and vulnerabilities that a potential attacker could exploit from an internet-facing/external perspective.
We identify vulnerabilities placing your organisation at risk, including those that may compromise your domain, allow for the breach of personal information or affect the availability of systems and services.
We use a comprehensive testing methodology to identify security vulnerabilities from the OWASP Top 10, as well as security vulnerabilities that are specific to the targeted application.
We examine your authentication system and network access points to ensure that unauthorised access is prevented and that access points are securely configured against attacks.
These are social engineering tests designed to assess employees' levels of security awareness. Our testers identify staff members that cause increased security risk by sending out targeted phishing emails.
Vishing assessments are similar to phishing campaigns in that they identify and validate vulnerabilities associated with your personnel, however these tests are conducted via phone call.
The purpose of this test is to replicate a real-world, physical attack as closely as possible. We conduct reconnaissance, infiltration, visual compromise, technological compromise and exfiltration.
We conduct other services, such as AWS and Azure configuration reviews, Windows Standard Operating Environment (SOE) audits, Citrix Virtual Applications and Desktop Penetration Testing and more.
Penetration testing allows organisations to find the cyber security risk they're up against and this is ideally fed back into their risk register and reported to the board.
Regular penetration tests provide visibility over security vulnerabilities and issues. It can even uncover additional, hidden information that technical staff don't realise about their systems.
Penetration testing can validate the security controls of a third party or internal group to make sure they're properly protecting data and business processes. It can be used as part of a supplier audit or during due diligence in an acquisition.
PCI DSS, IRAP, the NIST cybersecurity framework, ISO27001 frameworks, and many other compliance standards require that you perform penetration testing.
Conducting regular penetration tests provides you, your clients and other stakeholders with confidence that you are proactively mitigating cyber risks and protecting their information.
We independently verify your organisation's security posture and provide a report suitable for executive management. Our remediation recommendations may lead to the allocation of additional funds for the internal IT security team.
Our team is comprised of seasoned, skilled and business-minded security consultants with an average of 10 years experience. We have conducted penetration tests for over 800 clients Australia-wide, including state and local government, health, finance, education, non-profit and other organisations:
We place great emphasis on technical training and high quality testing. This includes formal training courses, certifications, quarterly presentation days, internal capture the flags and shadowing.
