Penetration Testing

Our Penetration testing, are designed to simulation of real-world cyber-attack in order to test your organization’s cybersecurity capabilities and expose vulnerabilities.

What is Penetration Testing?

Penetration testing, or pentesting, is a form of ethical cyber security assessment that seeks to identify, safely exploit and help to remediate vulnerabilities across computer systems, applications and websites. By utilising the same tools and techniques used by cyber adversaries, pen testing replicates the conditions of a genuine attack.


Why perform penetration tests?

  • Rapidly fixes vulnerabilities
  • Provides independent assurance
  • Wmproves cyber risk awareness
  • Supports compliance requirements
  • Demonstrates security commitment
  • Informs future investments

types of penetration testing

Network Infrastructure Testing

CyberWissen rigorously investigates your network to identify and exploit a wide range of security vulnerabilities. This enables us to establish if assets such as data can be compromised, classify the risks posed to your overall cyber security, prioritise vulnerabilities to be addressed, and recommend actions to mitigate risks identified.

Web Application Testing

Web applications play a vital role in business success and are an attractive target for cybercriminals. CyberWissen’s ethical hacking services include website and web app penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities including SQL injection and cross-site scripting problems plus flaws in application logic and session management

Wireless Testing

Unsecured wireless networks can enable attackers to enter your network and steal valuable data. Wireless penetration testing identifies vulnerabilities, quantifies the damage these could cause and determines how they should be remediated.

Social Engineering

People continue to be one of the weakest links in an organisation’s cyber security. CyberWissen’s social engineering pen test service includes a range of email phishing engagements designed to assess the ability of your systems and personnel to detect and respond to a simulated attack exercise.

 

Cloud penetration

With specific rules of engagement set by each provider, cloud penetration testing is not straightforward. Our range of custom cloud security assessments can help your organisation overcome these challenges by uncovering and addressing vulnerabilities that could leave critical assets exposed.

Mobile Security Testing

Mobile app usage is on the rise, with more and more companies enabling customers to conveniently access their services via tablets and smartphones. CyberWissen carries out in-depth mobile application assessments based on the latest development frameworks and security testing tools.

Why your organisation needs a pen test

With threats constantly evolving, it’s recommended that every organisation testing at least twice a year, but more frequently when:

What is agile penetration testing?

Agile penetration testing is a continuous security assessment approach that allows companies to speed up the delivery of secure software to their customers. Unlike traditional pen testing which has the potential to slow down product teams, when properly integrated within the SDLC, agile penetration testing can keep pace with your release schedule. This saves your organisation the time and expense of remediating issues that could have been identified much earlier in the process. Agile pen testing is a programmatic way to unearth and remediate potential risks in an application within the existing timelines and schedules of product releases.


Agile penetration testing service features:

  • Enhancing development sprint plans to include the appropriate level of security assessment required
  • Strategising “abuse cases” for every release through a rapid threat modelling exercise ahead of development
  • Validating countermeasures to the abuse cases along with exploratory threat scenarios through an agile pen testing exercise post-development
  • Logging of any potential vulnerabilities directly on development platforms such as JIRA Azure DevOps etc. for remediation
  • Validating the applied fix (remediation) by conducting an optional retesting exercise
  • Analysing vulnerability patterns scoring time to fix and other critical statistics and communicating program improvement.

AGILE PENETRATION TESTING benefits

Reduction in vulnerabilities

Over time, the backlog of software vulnerabilities decreases and security posture improves.

Improved communication

Development and security teams seamlessly communicate to adapt testing to new features and priorities.

Better secure development practices

Ongoing feedback and collaboration enables developers to implement better secure development practices in new code.

Closer insurance relationships

CyberWissen has extensive relationships with 50+ cyber insurance brokers and carriers worldwide and exclusive

benefits to insured companies.

AGILE ASSESSMENT LIFECYCLE

Release and Sprint Planning

CyberWissen team joins release planning meetings to get contextual knowledge of applications and understand what is being developed for the upcoming testing cycle.

Track and Scope

CyberWissen agile pentesting team defines the scope and coverage, provides estimates and assigns resources based on requirements.

Sprint Review

The broader team meets to confirm what has been developed and remediated in that sprint.

Agile Cycle

Active penetration testing takes place, following the agreed framework.

Sprint Retro

Identified vulnerabilities are logged and tracked and feedback and analysis is provided for future planning. The cycle then restarts with release and sprint planning.
