“There are two types of companies: those that have been hacked, and those who don’t know they have been hacked.”

PENETRATION TESTING

We offer a variety of outsourced penetration testing / external penetration testing and security assessment services. These services can be delivered as a one time off or on a recurring basis. The IT infrastructure security test report deliverables contain an executive summary, an in-depth technical report along with mitigation advice.

Vulnerability Assessment

A vulnerability assessment service checks either network components (firewalls, routers, servers, IoT devices, endpoints, etc.) or web application components (websites, portals, restricted web access systems, etc.). The goal of vulnerability testing is to find loopholes in security, which would allow an intruder to gain unauthorised access or do any damage to a system.

Microsoft Azure, AWS and Google Cloud Platform Penetration Testing

Penetration testing in the AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Microsoft Azure hyperscaler clouds has important differences from on-prem assessments. For example, one of AWS’ strongest features is the immense flexibility that is provided to the users in setting up the environment. While the flexibility is great to have, it’s also a significant security concern. This range of unique technologies often leads to complications in security architecture and configuration– as well as the penetration testing process itself. However, the integration of new technologies brings about new security vulnerabilities as well. By penetration testing your Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and AWS hyperscaler cloud environment, you can identify and eliminate these security risks – including those unique to your private cloud. Cloud providers like AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Microsoft Azure offer many features/services, but generally follow the a shared-responsibility model, where the cloud provider is in charge of the security of the cloud, such as security relating to hardware and backend infrastructure, and you are in charge of the security in the cloud, such as configurations of your servers, privileges granted within your environment, and much more.

Network Penetration Testing

This is an IT infrastructure security testing service that focuses on finding vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and other flaws in your networks, infrastructure and overall architecture (i.e. server services, network protocols, operating systems and any other IP enabled components) - penetration testing for IT infrastructure essentially, whether in the cloud or testing office IT security. Network security testing entails our testers attempting to exploit vulnerabilities in order to gain full access to vulnerable systems. In a network vulnerability assessment (vulnerability testing being a cost effective alternative to a network penetration test) we only report on the flaws without actively exploiting them. With many businesses choosing the public cloud hyperscalers these days, we provide Microsoft Azure penetration testing & Microsoft Azure vulnerability testing, AWS penetration testing & AWS vulnerability testing and Google Cloud penetration testing & Google Cloud vulnerability testing - all infrastructure penetration testing. If you are looking to outsource penetration testing, then please Contact Us and we will arrange a conference call between you and a PrimoConnect senior security specialist.

Web Application Penetration Testing

More than 70% of all technical attacks are aimed at the web application layer. Web application penetration testing examines your web applications from a coding and implementation flaw perspective, but also looks at issues like SQL injection, local and remote file inclusion as well as cross-site-scripting (XSS). It involves attempts to actively exploit vulnerabilities in order to gain access to the web application, underlying database services and hosting server system itself. In a web application vulnerability assessment or web application vulnerability testing, which is a cost effective alternative to a web application penetration test, we only report on the flaws without actively exploiting them.

Mobile Application Penetration Testing

Hardly any market is growing faster than mobile applications. This service covers all threat vectors concerning mobile apps. The audits contain application runtime analysis, traffic & encryption flaws, insecure storage, code signing, memory protections, fuzzing and exploitation. We will test your Android and iPhone mobile applications to make sure they cannot be compromised. We can also include backend servers, communication channels and APIs in the testing. In a mobile application vulnerability assessment or mobile application vulnerability testing, which is a cost effective alternative to a mobile application penetration test, we only report on the flaws without actively exploiting them.

Wireless Penetration Testing

WiFi is no longer just a “nice to have” but has become a mission critical component to many businesses. The wireless penetration testing service or wireless network audit covers all threat vectors of wireless networks. Our audits contain attempts to crack wireless encryption and authentication mechanisms, include the set up of rogue access points along with test phishing portals, a variety of man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, Denial of Service testing and Bluetooth security tests.

Social Engineering Services

Often security is breached despite the fact that the latest perimeter defences are in place. Why? An employee may simply plug a USB stick in, which claims to contain Amazon vouchers. Or the users brought their own infected device into the corporate network, clicked on a malicious PDF or simple visited a malware website as he/she thought the email instruction to click on that link came from the manager. Could your staff be tricked that way? Our social engineering services / social engineering tests / social engineering testing can find out. Head to our Contact page to request a call back for a social engineering test or to outsource email phishing testing.

ABOUT PENETRATION TESTING

A penetration test is a method of evaluating computer and network security by simulating an attack on a computer system or network from external and internal threats. The same tools, know-how and methodologies are being used, as malicious hackers would employ. The difference between IT infrastructure security testing and a real attack is the fact that penetration testing companies carry out testing with the explicit written consent of the client and the purpose is to produce a comprehensive report and to close down security holes, before a real attacker can exploit them.

Why should you get regular penetration tests or IT infrastructure security testing?  What would happen if a competitor or hacker would steal your digital assets?  What legal consequences and lawsuits would a security breach have for you?  What financial implications would you face if your IT systems are taken down?  What reputational damage would a successful hack pose to your business?  Did you know that 90% of all deployed IT systems have vulnerabilities?

Penetration testing and vulnerability assessments can take many forms.  Types of penetration testing include: network testing, web application testing (web app penetration testing), wireless network testing, mobile application testing, source code security reviews, and more. With offices and testers in London and Brighton, UK, and testers also located in USA, PrimoConnect can test onsite as well as well as remotely.
