Penetration Testing

Make Sure Your Cybersecurity Defenses Are Effective With Cyberstone

In today's digital age, cyber threats have become increasingly sophisticated and frequent. As a result, companies across the United States must take proactive measures to ensure the security and integrity of their digital assets. One of the most effective ways to identify vulnerabilities and strengthen security defenses is through penetration testing. Let our Cyberstone team help you identify weaknesses in your cybersecurity defenses by performing ethical hacking services that simulate actual cybersecurity attacks.

What Is Penetration Testing?

Penetration testing is an essential part of any cybersecurity strategy. It involves simulating an attack on a computer system, network, or web application to identify security weaknesses that could be exploited by malicious actors. Cyberstone can help you identify vulnerabilities before an attacker can take advantage of them!

Common Types of Penetration Testing

Penetration testing from Cyberstone can be conducted in different ways depending on the level of information provided to the tester. Black box testing is conducted without any prior knowledge of the system being tested; this means our testers are given no information about the system and must rely solely on their technical skills to identify vulnerabilities.

White box testing, on the other hand, is conducted with full knowledge of the system being tested. This means our Cyberstone Penetration  Testers are provided with access to your company’s source code and other technical documentation to identify vulnerabilities.

Grey box testing is a combination of both black and white box methods. This means our staff is provided with some information about the system being tested, such as its architecture and functionality, but not full access to its source code or technical documentation. This type of testing allows for a more realistic simulation of a real-world attack.

How Does Cyberstone Conduct Penetration Testing?

Cyberstone conducts testing according to the globally-recognized NIST SP-800 115 standard. One of the earliest steps is attack surface reconnaissance, which is when our testers gather information about the target system or network to identify potential vulnerabilities. This is followed by the exploitation stage, which is when we attempt to exploit any said vulnerabilities to gain access to your company’s system or network. Once this stage is complete, our Cyberstone team will provide all the information your company needs to prevent these weaknesses from being exploited by nefarious parties.

Why Your Corporation Needs Testing & Cyber Risk Assessments

Understanding your company’s internal and external risk factors is important to protecting your systems and critical data, allowing for the creation of better cybersecurity policies. But your company also needs frequent penetration testing to:

  • Maintain Compliance: Many industry regulations, frameworks and standards, including the PCI and NERC, require companies to perform regular penetration testing to maintain compliance. Compliance with these  can help companies avoid costly fines and legal repercussions.
  • Create Proactive Security Measures: Penetration testing is a proactive security measure that can help companies stay one step ahead of attackers. By identifying vulnerabilities before they are exploited, companies can take proactive measures to strengthen their security defenses.
  • Maintain Good Reputation Management: A successful cyber attack can damage a company's reputation and result in lost business. Penetration testing and regular cyber risk assessments can help companies identify and fix vulnerabilities before they are exploited, reducing the risk of reputational damage.
