Infrastructure Penetration Testing is a critical service that evaluates the security posture of an organisationās IT infrastructure by simulating real-world cyberattacks. The goal is to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors to gain unauthorised access to networks, systems, and data. This service provides actionable insights to help organisations strengthen their defences against cyber threats.
This testing covers a wide range of infrastructure components, including networks, servers, firewalls, OT systems, IoT devices, and multi-tenant environments. It is ideal for businesses in industries such as offices, logistics, hospitality, operational technology (OT), and IoT ecosystems, where maintaining robust security is essential to protecting sensitive data, operational continuity, and regulatory compliance.
Infrastructure Penetration Testing provides a proactive approach to identifying vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. With tailored solutions for diverse environments, including office networks, logistics operations, OT systems, IoT devices, and hospitality venues, this service helps businesses secure their infrastructure, maintain compliance, and protect against costly breaches and operational disruptions.
Key features
Comprehensive Infrastructure Assessment: in-depth security assessment of all layers of the IT infrastructure, from external networks to internal systems, including servers, endpoints, and firewalls.
Simulated Real-World Attack: simulates the techniques, tactics, and procedures (TTPs) used by cybercriminals to gain unauthorised access, ensuring a realistic evaluation of your security posture.
Tailored Testing Scenario: penetration tests are customised to the organisationās specific environment, such as office networks, OT systems, IoT devices, multi-tenant environments, and more.
External and Internal Penetration Testing: tests both external-facing systems (e.g., web applications, network perimeters) and internal systems (e.g., Active Directory, internal servers) to identify vulnerabilities across the entire infrastructure.
Vulnerability Identification & Exploitation: identifies vulnerabilities such as unpatched software, misconfigurations, weak passwords, and inadequate access controls, and attempts to exploit them in a controlled manner to evaluate the impact.
Risk-Based Prioritisation: provides a risk-based ranking of discovered vulnerabilities, helping you focus on the most critical security issues first.
Post-Exploit Analysis: Pif successful, simulated attacks are followed by a detailed analysis to assess potential damage, including lateral movement within the network and data exfiltration scenarios.
Detailed Reporting & Actionable Recommendations: delivers comprehensive reports that include findings, risk levels, and prioritised remediation recommendations to improve security posture.
Red Team & Blue Team Engagements: offers both offensive (Red Team) and defensive (Blue Team) exercises for a holistic security evaluation, combining penetration testing with incident response capabilities.
