Penetration Testing
What are the benefits of a penetration test?
With a growing threat of cyber attacks it is more important than ever to stay ahead in terms of cyber security. A penetration test, colloquially known as a pen test, is an authorised simulated attack on a computer system that looks for security weaknesses, potentially gaining access to the system’s features and data. This will give you an overview of where you are standing in terms of IT security and helps prioritising your security efforts on your must vulnerable areas.

Which type of penetration test is right for you?
Generally it is distinguished between three types of penetreation tests, white box, black box and red teaming. Each provides lesser background information and gets closer to a real cyber attack.
White Box
- Background and system infomation
- Find as many vulnerabilities as possible
- Security team is being informed
Black Box
- Basic information and company name
- Find as many vulnerabilities as possible
- Only a small group is aware of the test
Red Teaming
- Only company name known
- Look for vulnerabilities suitable to gain access
- Being stealthy
Areas covered
During a penetration test different areas are covered to gain as much information as possible. This list gives an indication on the most common areas covered.
