PENETRATION TESTING
Threat x Vulnerability = Risk
Threat – An agent or actor that can cause harm to target organisation
Vulnerability – A flaw someone can exploit to cause harm
Risk – Is where the threat and vulnerability overlap
Exploit – Code or technique that a threat uses to take advantage of a vulnerability
Cybercrime today, is very much a growing concern not only to businesses small, medium or large, but also to individuals alike.
As security professionals we have to work hard to mitigate this risk by minimising vulnerabilities and blocking threats and this is what Penetration Testing is all about – modelling the activities of real world threats to discover vulnerabilities. Then, through controlled exploitation, attempt to determine the business risk associated with these flaws and recommend appropriate defences.
Westacre Cyber can provide the following penetration testing services to provide clients with comprehensive reports highlighting risk vulnerabilities in priority order:
 Network Pen Testing
Application Pen Testing
Web Pen Testing
Mobile Pen Testing
In addition, we can carry out:
Red Teaming – Determining whether current system detection and response policies, procedures and technologies are effective
Security Audits – Testing against existing sets of standards
Vulnerability Assessments – Focussed more on finding vulnerabilities only & also include policy and procedure reviews |
