Network Penetration Testing

Network penetration testing is an essential component of cybersecurity. Network penetration testing, also known as pen testing, will reveal gaps and vulnerabilities in your small business network cyber protection system. DIGIGUARD experts will attempt to breach your network safety systems the same way a cybercriminal would. This process is known as “ethical hacking,” and is one of the best ways to reveal weak areas of IT security coverage. Our team of consultants will use a variety of controlled industry testing standards and protocols to simulate an attack. We will exploit existing IT security weaknesses and gaps. This may seem counterintuitive, but penetration testing is an excellent way to know what critical data assets and systems are exposed and vulnerable. Testing provides:

• Protection for high-value data that attract cybercriminals – Customer financial and private data, trade secrets, formulas and recipes, sales lists and pricing lists, and more
• Compliance for laws, regulations or vendor requirements – Government regulators, third-party vendor requirements, industry-specific requirements
• Exposure of network security vulnerabilities – Reveal existing threats and understand the potential for impact such as lost production, lawsuits, reporting, time requirements to resume operations, and more

Network Testing

Testing security controls across your network will identify vulnerabilities and help determine risk. Network penetration testing will also validate existing defenses in your system that are working correctly. DIGIGUARD will work with you to understand your specific goals, identify the scope of testing and schedule an appropriate time for testing. We will use a variety of methods, tools and techniques to reveal any weaknesses. Our team of experts will perform comprehensive testing that will include:

• Locating outdated software – Determine which version is running, any available updates and duplication of protection coverage
• Revealing missing patches – Examine patch configuration and reveal gaps
• Discovering insecure configurations – Reveal misconfigured software and vulnerabilities
• Finding weak communication algorithms – Discover settings and interoperability
• Uncovering command injections – Locate malicious attack instructions already embedded in your system
• Testing firewalls and switches – Reveal gaps in protection
• Testing virtual and physical servers – Examine on-premise, off-site and cloud locations
• Testing workstations, devices and endpoints – All endpoints that connect to the internet can be tested for full coverage

Reporting Assessment Results

DIGIGUARD will analyze and gather all test results and assessments. We will prioritize and report on security issues in need of remediation. Vulnerabilities as well as effective strengths will be presented in a comprehensive report that includes:

• An executive summary report to share with decision-makers, vendors and regulators
• Technical risks and their relevancy to your business
• Impact potential and scope of discovered risks
• Items for immediate remediation
• Strategic items for long-term remediation and improvement
• Options and guidance for remediation

Remediating and Re-Testing

DIGIGUARD can re-test your network security after vulnerabilities have been addressed and remediated. We will review how new security protections interact with your current systems to identify any new gaps that opened up due to updates. We will re-test affected areas and update our previous assessment to reflect the new current state of your network security. This new assessment can be shared with vendors, regulators and partners to prove that vulnerabilities have been addressed.
