Penetration tests are advanced security audits aimed at detecting and assessing vulnerabilities across an organisation’s IT ecosystem – from network infrastructure to web and mobile applications up to cloud solutions. These tests not only identify vulnerabilities, but also simulate realistic attack scenarios, including social engineering attacks or zero-day exploits, so that the effectiveness of defence mechanisms can be verified. This allows an organisation to assess its ability to detect incidents, respond to them and minimise potential business losses.
Our testing process uses a hybrid approach, combining state-of-the-art scanning tools (e.g. Nessus, Burp Suite, Metasploit) with expert analysis by OSCP certified specialists. We base our solutions both on public vulnerability databases, such as CVE MITRE, and on proprietary knowledge bases that are continuously updated by monitoring the darknet and hacker forums. This allows us to catch even the most recent threats specific to the client’s industry – including the financial, medical or e-commerce sectors.
We implement the testing process under a strict regime of international standards, such as:
- PTES (Penetration Testing Execution Standard) – ensuring consistency of phases from recognition to reporting
- OWASP Testing Guide – key to testing applications against the TOP 10 OWASP threats
- ISO/IEC 27001, PN-ISO/IEC 17799 and ISO/IEC TR 13335 guidelines, ensuring compliance with legal requirements and risk management best practices
Penetration testing, as required, includes testing:
The result of the tests is a report with specific areas for security improvement. All vulnerabilities (security gaps) found will be grouped according to the Common Vulnerability Scoring system and flagged in the most popular standards (OVAL, CVE). The report will also include a list of warranty claims to current vendors, if identified.
CyberClue does not leave you with the report alone. We can also help you make all the necessary corrections and changes.
