At EHGI, we specialize in protecting your organization’s Active Directory (AD) infrastructure by conducting thorough security assessments. These assessments are critical for uncovering misconfigurations, weak password policies, improper user and group permissions, and other vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers.
Internal Penetration Testing is designed to assess the security of your organization from an insider’s perspective. This test simulates what could happen if a trusted user—like an employee, contractor, or vendor—misused their access to exploit vulnerabilities within your internal network and systems.
By simulating real-world attacks, EHGI’s Internal Penetration Testing reveals critical weaknesses that may go unnoticed in external tests. Our expert team uncovers hidden vulnerabilities within your internal infrastructure, ensuring that your sensitive data and systems remain protected from both intentional and accidental internal threats.
Cyber threats are constantly evolving, and attackers continually develop new methods to exploit weaknesses. Regular Active Directory penetration testing ensures that your organization remains one step ahead, identifying vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. By adopting a proactive approach, your organization stays prepared for emerging risks.
An Active Directory Pentest goes beyond standard security assessments, helping to identify both common and obscure vulnerabilities within your AD infrastructure. These tests examine password policies, permissions, and configurations, ensuring that even the smallest misconfigurations are detected and addressed before they can be exploited.
As regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS become more stringent, ensuring that your AD environment adheres to these standards is critical. Regular penetration testing not only strengthens your compliance efforts but also minimizes the risks of regulatory fines, data breaches, and reputational damage.
Traditional security measures like firewalls and antivirus software are no longer sufficient to protect against today’s sophisticated attacks. An Active Directory Pentest identifies vulnerabilities that go beyond what standard defenses can catch, ensuring comprehensive protection for your entire infrastructure.
Active Directory Pentesting reveals vulnerabilities that standard assessments may miss. By identifying configuration errors, weak password policies, and permission issues, your organization can proactively protect critical systems and sensitive data from unauthorized access.
Through the replication of real-world hacking techniques, Active Directory Pentesting provides insights into how cybercriminals might breach your network. This enables your organization to strengthen defenses against common threats such as phishing, ransomware, and insider threats.
Regular AD pentests help ensure your security policies are aligned with industry regulations like ISO, NIST, and HIPAA. Meeting these standards safeguards your organization from potential fines and legal consequences while securing sensitive information.
The comprehensive insights gained from an AD pentest enable you to implement more robust security measures. From fixing vulnerabilities to enhancing monitoring protocols, these actions drastically reduce the risk of data breaches and strengthen your organization’s overall cybersecurity framework.
Evaluate both internal and external network components, including firewalls, routers, and VPNs, ensuring they are configured securely. Active Directory pentesting helps identify weaknesses in network defenses, protecting your organization from unauthorized access.
Assess the security of web and mobile applications, including APIs, for vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and authentication flaws. This is vital to safeguard customer data and ensure the integrity of business operations.
Review cloud environments on platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud to verify secure configurations and compliance with industry standards. This reduces the risk of data breaches and ensures robust cloud security.
Penetration testing for IoT devices ensures secure communication, proper configurations, and minimal risk of attacks targeting connected devices and smart technologies.
Analyze industrial control systems (ICS) and SCADA environments to ensure the security of critical infrastructure. These tests focus on preventing unauthorized access, ensuring operational continuity, and securing remote access.
Conduct detailed security audits, including phishing simulations, social engineering assessments, and red team exercises, to identify potential human vulnerabilities and strengthen overall defense mechanisms across your organization.
Penetration testing is essential to strengthen your organization’s cybersecurity defenses. Here’s why conducting an Active Directory Pentest is crucial:
Active Directory Pentesting identifies and resolves vulnerabilities, allowing you to protect critical systems, applications, and data from modern cyber threats. It ensures your AD configurations are secure and resilient against unauthorized access.
Compliance with industry regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS is critical for avoiding fines and legal challenges. Regular Active Directory pentesting ensures your organization meets these standards and maintains compliance across all systems.
Pentesting provides clear insights into the most critical areas of vulnerability, allowing you to allocate security resources efficiently. This targeted approach ensures that investments are made in areas where the risks are highest.
By mitigating risks associated with your AD infrastructure, pentesting minimizes the potential for operational disruptions due to cyberattacks. This helps ensure business continuity by preventing downtime and safeguarding sensitive operations.
A secure organization builds trust with customers and partners. Strengthening your Active Directory infrastructure demonstrates your commitment to protecting sensitive data, fostering stronger relationships and business success.
