What is penetration testing?
Penetration testing is the process of extensively evaluating the health of your information security. The primary reason for a pen test is to make sure a system is tightly secured and that there is no chance of unauthorised entry. Eon IT’s adaptive approach to penetration testing mimics an attacker seeking access to sensitive assets by exploiting security weaknesses and vulnerabilities across your infrastructure.
How we test
We begin by assessing your network or application infrastructure’s weakest links, as well as other possible avenues of attack. We then determine the ramifications of each compromise by attempting to escalate privileges at the entry points and pivoting the assessment to see whether other systems can subsequently be targeted and breached.
Reconnaissance
Map the attack surface: external, internal, web, mobile and cloud.
Exploitation
Validate vulnerabilities by exploiting them safely, never by guessing.
Escalation & pivoting
Show how one foothold becomes a full compromise.
Actionable reporting
Prioritised findings, proof of impact and clear remediation steps.
Why Eon IT
Our consultants make sure every penetration testing report contains no false positives, and that it identifies vulnerabilities conventional testing methods miss. We use many tools to find and validate vulnerabilities before designing the attack vector. What sets us apart is our own custom-written scripts, which let our attacks mimic the most advanced techniques. And we stay with you to help fix what we find.
