Infrastructure (Network) Penetration Test

IT Governance’s infrastructure penetration test aims to identify vulnerabilities that could be used to breach your network. Your system will be reviewed for vulnerabilities (including those detailed within the OSSTMM (Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual)) to identify any weaknesses that could allow an attacker to compromise the network, the data stored on it or the devices hosted on it.

The identified vulnerabilities are presented in a format that allows you to assess your organisation’s relative business risk and the cost of remediation.

Your challenge

External infrastructure-related vulnerabilities tend to arise from poor hardware configurations, ineffective system configuration parameters and weak security system controls. Exploiting a vulnerability allows a criminal attacker to gain control in a privileged state and access resources on the network.
