An Internal Penetration Test evaluates your organization’s internal networks and systems for security vulnerabilities. By simulating real-world cyberattacks from within your organization, this test provides critical insights into potential threats such as ransomware, unauthorized access, and insider threats.
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.
As cybercriminals develop new methods to breach systems, regular penetration testing helps your organization stay ahead by simulating the latest attack techniques. This proactive approach ensures you’re prepared for evolving threats.
Penetration testing reveals security weaknesses that could lead to significant breaches. These tests dig deeper than automated scans, highlighting both common and uncommon vulnerabilities across your network, applications, and systems.
With cybersecurity regulations becoming more stringent, regular penetration testing ensures your organization meets GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and other regulatory standards. This not only protects your business but also reduces the risk of fines.
Traditional security measures like firewalls and antivirus software are no longer enough to guard against today’s complex threats. Penetration testing complements these defenses by identifying gaps and vulnerabilities they cannot address, providing comprehensive security coverage.
Penetration testing uncovers vulnerabilities that may not be visible through standard security assessments. By identifying these gaps, your organization can take targeted action to protect critical systems and data.
By replicating the tactics of real-world attackers, penetration tests help you understand how hackers might exploit your systems. This allows you to prepare and strengthen your defenses against threats like phishing, malware, and data leaks.
Penetration testing is often required to meet regulatory requirements. It ensures that your security policies align with frameworks such as ISO, NIST, or HIPAA, keeping your organization compliant and safeguarding sensitive information.
The insights from a penetration test allow you to implement stronger, more effective security measures. From patching vulnerabilities to improving monitoring, these actions significantly reduce the risk of a security breach.
Evaluate both internal and external networks, including firewalls, routers, VPNs, and intrusion detection systems. This ensures all network components are properly configured and protected against unauthorized access.
Assess your web and mobile applications, along with APIs, for vulnerabilities such as injection attacks, cross-site scripting (XSS), and authentication flaws. This is crucial for protecting customer data and business operations.
Examine your cloud environments on platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, verifying that your cloud configurations follow best practices for security and compliance, while minimizing the risk of data breaches.
Penetration testing of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and other smart technology ensures secure communication, proper configuration, and minimal risk of attacks targeting connected devices.
Review industrial control systems (ICS) and SCADA environments to ensure the security of critical infrastructure. These tests focus on system segmentation, secure remote access, and preventing potential disruptions in operations.
Additional assessments like phishing simulations, social engineering testing, and red team exercises help evaluate human factors in your security landscape, ensuring a well-rounded defense strategy.
Penetration testing is a critical tool for strengthening your organization’s cybersecurity defenses. Here’s why it’s essential:
Penetration testing identifies and addresses vulnerabilities, allowing you to proactively protect your network, applications, and data against modern cyber threats.
Meet industry regulations such as GDPR, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, and HIPAA. Regular penetration tests keep your organization compliant and avoid costly penalties.
Testing provides a clear roadmap of security priorities, helping you allocate resources efficiently to areas with the highest risk, ensuring that investments are strategically focused.
By identifying and mitigating risks, penetration testing minimizes potential downtime, ensuring your organization remains resilient in the face of cyberattacks or disruptions.
Strengthening your defenses helps prevent data breaches, which in turn reinforces trust among your customers and partners. A secure business fosters stronger relationships and loyalty.
