Types of Network Penetration Testing

Types of Network Penetration Testing

External Penetration Testing

External network penetration testing shows what a hacker can see in the network and exploits the vulnerabilities seen over the internet. Here the threat is from an external network on the internet. This test is performed over the internet, bypassing the firewall.

Internal Penetration Testing

Internal Penetration Testing shows the risks that arise from within the network. This test is performed by connecting to the internal LAN and exploiting the existing vulnerabilities.

Segmentation Testing

Segmentation testing separates the less secure networks from more secure networks and ensures that the communication between these networks is confined & limited.

Black Box Penetration Testing

The Black Box Penetration Testing process runs with zero knowledge about the network. The tester acquires the needed details using penetration testing tools or social engineering techniques. Any publicly available information over the internet is a valuable feed for the penetration tester.

White Box Penetration Testing

White Box Penetration Testing is otherwise called complete knowledge testing. Here, testers get full information about the target network. This information can be the host IP address, domains owned, applications used, network diagrams, and security defences like IPs or IDs of a network.

Gray Box Penetration Testing

In Gray Box Penetration Testing, the tester stimulates an inside employee. The tester is given an account on the internal network and a standard permit to the network. This testing process considers internal threats from employees within the organisation.

Benefits of Penetration Testing Services

Benefits of Penetration Testing

Criticality of Vulnerabilities

Pen Testing helps proactively identify the criticality of the vulnerabilities and false positives produced by automated scanners. It allows you to prioritize the remedy action and evaluates if the found vulnerability is to be patched immediately or not based on the criticality.

Regulatory Compliance

Pen Testing helps organizations comply with the different regulatory standards like PCI DSS, HIPAA and GLBA. It can help organizations avoid fines for non-compliance.

Cost of Compliance

A security breach may impact and cost heavily for an organization. There may be a network downtime that can lead to a heavy business loss. Penetration Testing helps avoid these financial falls by identifying and addressing the risks in a prompt manner.

Why Network Penetration Testing

Why do you need Network Penetration Testing Services

The IT infrastructure is evolving and becoming more complex. The internal networks have given access over the internet to legitimate users with user credentials and privilege levels outside the firewall, which automatically increases the attack surface. Such infrastructure needs to be assessed regularly for security threats.

A Network Penetration Testing Company identifies what type of resources go exposed to the outer world, determines the security risk involved, and prevents these threats before it calls the eye of attackers.

Network Penetration Testing Methodology

Network Penetration Testing Methodology

Information gathering & Network Discovery

We collect details about all Insecure Services, Active Hosts & Services, Fingerprinting the O S, Services & links and internet surfing linked to this, etc.

Scanning and enumeration

The Scanning and Enumeration process in Pen Testing includes port scanning, service detection, and OS fingerprints.

Gaining access

Gaining access involves vulnerability assessment and exploitation of the identified risk to evaluate the impact and severity.

Remedial Action Identification

ValueMentor CREST Certified Security Analysts identify a prioritized remedial action plan for the threats and vulnerabilities found in the previous phases.

Reporting & Re-Testing

A detailed report of the findings and guidance on remediation are submitted. On successful remediation, a re-test gets performed to validate the effectiveness of the fixes applied.
