Network penetration testing services (network pentest)

Assess the vulnerability of your business network to modern threats

What is network penetration testing (network pentest)?

A network pentest is a technical service for finding vulnerabilities in a corporate computer network by modelling and simulating a targeted hacker attack.

Cybercriminals are inventing new and sophisticated ways to hack into the networks of businesses in various industries. Corporate IT infrastructure usually consists of a large number of servers and services that process information from numerous sources.

This creates opportunities to disrupt the normal operation of infrastructure and unauthorised access to sensitive information, which attract cybercriminals. Timely detection of vulnerabilities in a company’s network is key to preventing hackers from achieving their criminal goals.

The main purpose of network penetration testing is to identify all possible ways for hackers to gain access to a corporate network. This allows you to quickly identify and eliminate all vulnerabilities, as well as properly protect weak points in the network.

A network pentest is an important component of a realistic assessment of cyber defence.

Why you should regularly commission network penetration testing services

The purpose of a network pentest is to assess the security of your corporate network against internal or external attacks by intruders in order to identify security issues and weaknesses that can be exploited by an attacker.

Attackers are using increasingly sophisticated methods to attack the external perimeter and internal network of companies, and gain unauthorised access to credentials, servers and files containing confidential information. They understand that many successful attacks on company networks go undetected, which poses the biggest cybersecurity threat to any organisation.

Network penetration testing (network pentest) provides a clear picture of the effectiveness of security measures, as well as how well the processes and mechanisms for detecting and notifying your company of cybersecurity incidents are built.

Detailed reports help you identify existing and potential ways for intruders to penetrate your company’s network and allow you to create or improve your security strategy to prevent attacks by real hackers.

The benefits of regular network penetration testing include:

identification of vulnerabilities in the company’s network before attackers have the chance to do so;

development of an effective cyber security strategy;

creation of an effective cyber security system without unnecessary costs;

verification of compliance with the rules and requirements of international security standards and best practices;

preservation of the company’s image, brand reputation and customer loyalty.

There are two types of network penetration testing:

Internal network pentest – The purpose of this type of testing is to find vulnerabilities that can be exploited by an individual or employee within the entity. This is done by simulating attacks on the corporate network by an internal attacker to steal information and abuse privileges to access private or confidential data.

External network perimeter pentest – The purpose of this type of testing is to find vulnerabilities in the external perimeter and public services that are directly connected to the internet that facilitate unauthorised access to sensitive data or compromise target services.

Which business areas need to conduct a network pentest?

Every entity needs network penetration testing. Access to even a single computer can be very damaging, resulting in significant financial and reputational losses for a business.

The more complex a company’s IT infrastructure is, the more network vulnerabilities it may have. Hacker groups are always focused on gaining access to the networks of well-known and successful companies.

Regular network penetration testing is a prerequisite for the successful operation of any business.

Business sectors that need to conduct a network pentest:

Banks and financial institutions

Critical infrastructure enterprises

Telecommunications companies

Logistics centres

Commercial and industrial companies

E-commerce

Marketplaces

Internet providers

Start-ups

IGaming

Experienced and strategically minded executives prefer to commission network penetration testing rather than wait for hackers to find and exploit vulnerabilities.

Don’t forget that the effectiveness of a cyber security system can only be verified through a pentest! At the moment, there are no other

Recommendations for improving cyber defence

Still have doubts about commissioning network penetration testing services?

Consider the following questions to understand why your business needs to conduct a network pentest as soon as possible:

  • When was the last time you conducted penetration testing on your company’s network?
  • Are you sure that no one on your staff has criminal intentions?
  • Does your company’s network attract the attention of hacker groups?
  • If hackers want to attack your company’s network, what goals will they pursue?
  • How effective will your cyber defence system and cybersecurity staff be in the event of a serious hacker attack on the corporate network?
  • What are the financial and reputational consequences for your business in the event of a successful hacker attack on your corporate network?

All business leaders who want their business to succeed strive to limit the risks associated with insufficient network security. The implementation of robust policies and procedures for handling confidential information is an essential measure. It is also critical to remain alert to constantly evolving criminal tactics.

Developing and improving cyber defences requires constant attention and effort. Protecting data and confidential information is becoming an important task, so you need to check every point at which the network can be penetrated.

Conducting penetration testing for a network increases your protection against cyberattacks and helps reduce potential losses.

With the annual increase in hacker activity aimed at penetrating networks, regular network pentesting is becoming a necessary part of cyber defence.
