Finding The Holes In Your Security Before Someone Else Does

Hacking in some capacity is inevitable. It simply is a matter of will you be the next target? Whether you are an individual, small business or larger corporation, the reality is the same. You have some level of online operations utilising technology & more than likely there are a number of ways it can be exploited to hurt you or steal from you. Penetration testing is an opportunity for you to simulate a number of hacking methodologies & see if your systems can hold up to it.

Network Auditing

The local network is the central point of defence that divides your devices from the wider world of the internet. When it comes to any penetration testing operations, the network itself is one of the most critical to assess. We explore all hacking methods that could be utilised to deny service or take over your network. If any pathways of hacking your network are found, you are truly in an extremely vulnerable position & it is just a matter of time before a real world hacker attempts the same operations on you.

Our objective is to take a real world snapshot of where you are with your security & build a plan of action to stop the threats we discover from being able to be exploited in the future. This is all personally catered to your IT systems & requirements to be the best fit for your needs.

Device Auditing

Network protection is extremely important at isolating from larger widespread threats. But there are other methods of compromise that occur on a device level. Some could be phishing, online scams, fraudulent websites, malware, spyware & more.

It is important to ensure your devices & your practices are evaluated to make sure you are equipped with the configurations, software & hardware needed to defend against common threats.

We can perform a suite of tests using real world tools a hacker may use to discover any device vulnerabilities that you need to be aware of. Once the penetration testing is completed, we can provide the best recommendations & actions to secure your devices moving forward

Social Auditing / Security Awareness

Businesses are not only vulnerable to direct exploits of devices & IT infrastructure. A huge unvetted vulnerability is the workers themselves. Often protocols of defence of a premises, intellectual property & digital assets aren't considered from a social perspective.

You will find that the average business may have some base level of device & network security. Whether this is sufficient or not, sometimes a hacker has better odds of success in exploiting the everyday worker. This could be through phishing, building outside relationships or simply just walking into the premises & installing a USB in a computer or network port.

A really important part of security is anticipating the risks of people. Are you certain your team is educated & responsible enough to protect your assets & premises. We can assess your standards through anonymous real world simulations of these types of attacks to see if you are really prepared for a real hacker.
