What is a Penetration Test?
Authorized Simulated Invasion on Your Web Application and Business Software
Penetration Test is also known as Ethical Hacking, White-hat hacking, or Pentest, is an authorized simulated invasion or cyber-attack on your web application and business software. The goal is to identify security vulnerabilities or loopholes that can be remediated by developers before an attacker can exploit them.
Insights obtained from the test will be used to strengthen and prioritize related remediation options.

The Importance of Penetration Testing
Penetration Testing is a Neccessity for Modern Day Security
It’s simply finding application vulnerabilities or weaknesses before someone else does. Attackers could use these loopholes to exploit your software application to steal confidential company data and your customer personally identifiable information.

Methodology
Our Penetration Testing Methodology
01Planning
We will map out the systems to be addressed and the testing methods to be used. We will also have to align with the client to understand how much information the certified penetration tester have access to or that can be found about the targeted system.
02Scanning
We perform multiple types of inspections to find a way into the targeted system.
Static analysis is to inspect an application’s code to estimate the way it behaves while running.
Or dynamic analysis that provides a real-time view into the performance of an application.
03Gaining Access
We will utilise penetration testing software or attacks such as SQL injection, backdoors, Security Misconfiguration to gain access to the system. Testers will then test out what type of damage they can inflict such as stealing data or interrupting traffic.
04Maintaining Access
We will then try to see if we can achieve persistent exploitation. That means to imitate attacks that stay in a system for months without being dealt with collecting data.
05Analysis & Reporting
Detailed reports will be made containing information on vulnerabilities discovered, sensitive data obtained and the time our white-hat hacker was in the system before being discovered.
The report will be used and analysed to aid security personnel in developing necessary WAF settings and security solutions.
06Clean Up & Remediation
We take the necessary steps to seal any weaknesses we expose. All artefacts used in the test are removed to prevent them from being taken advantage of in the occurrence of a real attack.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
There is an uncountable amount of cyber threats out there and new ones are being coded or created on a daily. Forbes reported 2020 saw a rise in cybercrime and by 2025 it will cost the world $10.5 trillion annually.
Doing a pen test as a routine will not be sufficient in improving your application, software, and website’s safety. Because after the problems are found it is proof that further precautions need to be taken to better the security stance the system has. You may speak to us to have our developers work with the pentesters to strengthen the vulnerabilities exposed.
