Businesses are dynamically exposed to cyberattacks that may compromise sensitive information and sabotage the entire system. In comparison to other forms of cyber protection, network penetration testing is more proactive and less reactionary because it assesses weaknesses in an organization’s system before an attacker does. This enables an organization to improve its defenses.
StrongBox IT offers the best network penetration testing Services in the United States, suited for every business no matter the size of a company or organization. Our network of businesses is protected by a team of credentialed professionals who employ industry accepted practices and offer guidance that protect the organization’s network from constant threats. Find out how our penetration testing services strengthen your security posture along with the ability to safeguard your business for the long term.
Why Network Penetration Testing Is Critical for Your Business
Network penetration testing identifies weaknesses before attackers can exploit them and ensures that security gaps are addressed proactively to prevent data breaches.
If there are no consistent tests conducted, businesses are prone to losing money to cybercriminals through unexplored configurations, obsolete software, and feeble authentication methods. Addressing these gaps allows businesses to comply with regulations and eliminate reputational harm, while strengthening security simultaneously.
Beyond the identification of threats, penetration testing also strengthens security controls and response plans. Regular testing automates the functionality of firewalls, detection systems, and other control mechanisms to reduce cyber risks and increase the continuity of business operations. Safeguarding digital assets becomes easy, making investment in penetration testing crucial to ensuring long term business success.
Why StrongBox IT? Your Trusted Network Penetration Testing Partner
Certified Security Professionals
Like most organizations, StrongBox IT has its own set of secrets. Firstly, we take pride in possessing a competent team of certified penetration testers who hold qualifications such as CEH, OSCP, and CISSP. In other words, our experts understand in-vectors, vulnerabilities, and how to create effective remediation plans.
Comprehensive Testing Methodology
As with most other types of support services, StrongBox IT has its own methodology for accomplishing network penetration testing. Its structure is simple and divided in Phases:
- Reconnaissance: Intelligence is gathered to learn as much about the target network as possible
- Scanning & Enumeration: The next phase is to start finding live hosts, open ports, and determine what services are available on the target system
- Exploitation: In this phase we perform mock attacks on our client’s networks and attempt to penetrate their defenses in order to evaluate their security posture.
- Post-Exploitation: Analyzing the consequences of the attack in terms of security risk level and estimate how far into the network one can get after the attack.
- Reporting & Remediation: Writing a comprehensive report with recommendations on what actions or measures should be implemented.
Adherence to Industry Standards
Similar practices are observed in other organizations, and we seat our penetration testing services alongside the best-known guidelines from the following:
- OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project)
- NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Cybersecurity Framework
- MITRE ATT&CK Framework
- ISO 27001 compliance standards
Tailored Security Assessments
All businesses are different and therefore have different security needs. By offering penetration testing services, we make sure that security-enabled business changes are effective for startups, SMBs, as well as large enterprises.
Actionable Insights & Risk Mitigation
Testing networks for weaknesses means more than just generating a list of discrepancies. We focus on building and enforcing security defenses through outlining prioritized remediation suggestions, impact evaluations, and risk mitigation tactics.
Proactive Security Approach
At StrongBox IT, we do not wait for cyber attacks to happen. Our penetration testing services enable organizations to defend their systems at an earlier stage by identifying gaps in their system before it is too late.
Cost-Effective Solutions
A company should not feel a financial strain while making investments in cybersecurity. With StrongBox IT’s penetrative testing services, businesses of all sizes can access world-class security at affordable prices.
Post-Assessment Support & Advice
We go beyond just performing assessment tests and have also committed to providing mitigative arms post the evaluation. We have an extensive post-assessment assistance program that mitigates the security measures over time.
Top Benefits of Performing Network Penetration Testing
Types of Penetration Testing Services Offered by StrongBox IT
Web Application
Cybercriminals view web applications as a key target as they may be breached easily which can lead to service disruption, leaking of sensitive data, or incurring unauthorized access. StrongBox IT provides thorough penetration testing services on web applications that scans security gaps and suggests remedial solutions.
Key Areas of Assessment:
- Injection Attacks: SQL injection, XSS, and command injection vulnerabilities.
- Authentication & Authorization Flaws: Weak login attempts, broken authentication, and session management problems.
- Security Misconfigurations: Inappropriate server settings, outdated software, and multiple open ports.
- Business Logic Flaws: Gaps within application workflows that can be manipulated by malicious users.
- API Security: Detection of exposed APIs without authenticating, enabling data leakage.
Benefits:
- Better application security posture.
- Alignment with OWASP standards.
- Defense against critical web based attacks.
Mobile Application Penetration Testing
Mobile applications containing sensitive user information require utmost protection. StrongBox IT specializes in penetration testing mobile applications on iOS and Android devices.
Key Areas of Assessment:
- Data Storage Security: Detection of unauthorized data storage susceptibilities.
- Network Communication Security: Searching for unencrypted data streams and MITM attack possibilities.
- Authentication & Authorization: Checking how well sessions are maintained, weak password policies, and access control mechanisms.
- Reverse Engineering & Code Analysis: Exposure to code disassembly and recompilation.
- API & Backend Security: Examining the way mobile applications communicate with the backend server and ensuring proper security measures are in place.
Benefits:
- Safeguarding against credential theft and identity manipulation.
- Improved protection for mobile applications against viruses and hacking attempts.
- Adoption of best practices like OWASP Mobile Top 10.
Vulnerability Assessment (VA)
Vulnerability Assessment is an internal, proactive measure to pinpoint suspected risk areas and reduce security liabilities in an organization’s infrastructure. Unlike penetration testing, VA does not simulate real world attacks; rather, it involves systematically scanning and assessing the pertinent vulnerabilities preemptively.
Process of Vulnerability Assessment:
- Asset Discovery: Internally auditing owned IT assets, such as servers, applications, and endpoints.
- Scanning & Enumeration: Performing both automated and manual scans to determine the enumerated vulnerabilities.
- Risk Classification: Allocating the identified vulnerabilities into sets based on their severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low).
- Analysis & Reporting: Elaborating the discovered weaknesses, the impact, and detailed evaluations of the risks involved.
- Remediation Guidance: Providing plausible solutions to rectify vulnerabilities and improve security posture.
Types of Vulnerability Assessments:
- Network-Based VA: Detects vulnerabilities related to both wired and wireless networks.
- Host-Based VA: Covers servers, workstations, and all other endpoint devices for security deficiencies.
- Application-Based VA: Evaluates web and mobile applications for prevalent vulnerabilities.
- Cloud Security VA: Analyzes the security configurations and relevant risks pertaining to the cloud environment.
Benefits:
- Identifies security gaps at an early stage.
- Lowered chances of a cyber-attack or data infiltration.
- Meeting compliance standards such as PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, NIST and others.
