ASSUMED BREACH

Validate existing controls such as endpoint security, malware controls, egress restrictions, network segmentation, and data leak prevention.

ADVERSARY SIMULATION

A comprehensive, stealthy, and highly sophisticated penetration test, used to determine if existing safeguards are effective.

REMEDIATION VERIFICATION

Validate that identified vulnerabilities have been successfully remediated.

PENETRATION TESTING PROGRAM

A Threat-Based Approach to Penetration Testing Reports

The quality of penetration test reporting determines how effectively organizations can act on findings and reduce risks. By categorizing findings, we help you focus on the most critical risks and take the right actions.

We categorize vulnerabilities based on three key factors:

  1. Complexity: How difficult is it to exploit the vulnerability? Does it require specialized tools or multiple steps?

  2. Potential Impact: What information could be exposed or accessed? For example, accessing sensitive credentials is much more severe than revealing an application’s version.

  3. Frequency: How often is the vulnerability targeted by attackers? Using data from the VERIS Community Database and our extensive experience, we assess how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited.

 

Benchmarking Your Security Posture

Benchmarking gives you valuable insights into:

  • Identifying Risks: If your vulnerability scores are higher than industry averages, it indicates that your defenses need strengthening in specific areas.

  • Tracking Progress: If your scores are lower, it means your organization is ahead of the curve and well-positioned to build on that foundation.

 

Tailored Remediation for Effective Security

It’s important to ensure that each remediation step aligns with industry best practices and is practical for your organization’s environment. This ensures that vulnerabilities are addressed quickly and efficiently, minimizing your exposure to threats.
