Penetration Testing

Penetration testing, often referred to as “pen testing”, is a simulated cyber attack on a computer system, network, or application, conducted to evaluate its security posture. In simple terms penetration testing is where a cyber security expert puts themselves in the shoes of an attacker and tries to hack the client. By understanding what vulnerabilities were exploited, you are able to plug the holes before any damage is done. Of equal value, a penetration test is the most accurate way to assess your cyber risk profile.
​

By simulating an attack, pen tests provide unmatched insight into both how an attack could occur and what the outcome of an attack might look like. This provides decision makers with the data to properly assess risk tolerance and make informed decisions on their digital infrastructure.

A CAS pen test consists of an executive summary which can be easily digested by non-technical executives, a summary of the vulnerabilities, a detailed list of recommendations & action items, and lastly all the supporting documentation as produced during the testing.
