A Penetration test is often referred to as a security assessment meaning it is a process of actively evaluating information security measures. Results of these assessments are then documented in a report which is presented at a debriefing session with questions being answered and where corrective strategies can be freely discussed.

Penetration testing your infrastructure helps safeguard your organisation against failure by

Financial loss prevention through fraud (hackers, extortionists and ex-employees) or lost revenue due to unreliable business systems and processes.

Due Diligence and compliance to industry regulators, customers and shareholders. Non compliance resulting in your organisation losing business, heavy fines or bad PR. Personally causing possible loss of job, prosecution and sometimes even imprisonment.

Brand protection, avoiding loss of consumer confidence and business reputation.

Warrior’s Pen-Test Safe service tests systems from an external or internal perspective.

External testing takes place across the internet simulating views of systems through the eyes of a potential hacker.

Internal testing involves attending site, connecting to your internal network on the appropriate network segment, seeing services and resources from behind the external perimeter to identify other vulnerabilities.

The Pen-Test Safe solution is designed to ensure that systems are operating as expected and that there are no hidden or undiscovered security related issues.

A detailed, thorough and extensive process involves several key stages,

Scope: This identifies appropriate targets for the penetration testing, Discovery: Builds information about your network and its service.Vulnerability Scan: Tests systems and services for known vulnerabilities:Target Penetration:If within testing scope systems may be compromised:Analysis:Potential holes analysed.Reporting Analysis:Detailed finding and recommendations based on the report.
