Penetration Testing
Security breaches and service interruptions are costly and can threaten an organization's reputation, Loyal IT’s Penetration Testing can identify and prioritize your security risks.
What is Penetration Testing?
Penetration testing is also known as “ethical hacking.” By testing your applications for possible vulnerabilities, we learn how an attacker would gain access to your system. We then deliver ways to better protect your assets.
Loyal IT doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. We determine the level of network security sophistication and maturity necessary for your company. We then build a penetration testing program tailored to your business.
There are always hackers out there employing automated tools and network attacks. They’re looking for ways to penetrate your security systems. A penetration test enables us to provide IT management with a view of your company’s network from a malicious perspective. Penetration testing goes further than helping your organization meet compliance requirements. It shows you how an attacker would gain unauthorized access into your company’s network. They’d compromise your email systems, firewalls, routers, VPN tunnels, web servers and other devices. Managing operating systems, networks, servers, desktops/laptops, users, applications and databases can be a constant battle. Loyal IT helps you absorb the beneficial changes to your environment while preventing disruptive changes.
Penetration testing helps companies determine weaknesses in their IT infrastructure through a quality security assessment.
We work with our customers to build an accurate profile of:
- what your primary business function is
- where the threats are coming from
- what the goal of the security assessment is
By now you are starting to understand the necessity of having a penetration test conducted. Yet defining the scope and nature of a penetration test is dependent on what the drivers are for an organization. This helps determine the goals going into an engagement.
