To protect against the surge of cloud, IoT, and additional Internet facing systems,
UBUNIFU DIGITECH recommends manual penetration testing as part of your regular security regimen.
INDUSTRY CHALLENGE
UBUNIFU DIGITECH evaluates the security of our customers’ external-facing network assets for many reasons,
but key among them are dissatisfaction with their internal tools, the current provider, and/or their internal team’s capacity to adequately administer all of their external testing work efficiently and consistently over time.
One of the most common vulnerability assessment activities for companies of all sizes is an external penetration test,
typically targeting internet-facing websites. Scanning external-facing network resources is a high priority, but a complete
assessment of the hardness of your external network includes multiple steps, such as:
- Anonymous information gathering to discover all Internet-facing assets a hacker could identify as potential entry-points into your network.
- Identifying additional surface areas exposed by cloud and federated services
- Scanning of your internet-available network access points and web servers for known vulnerabilities (non-credentialed)
- Verifying scan-result findings through in-depth manual penetration testing attack techniques (both credentialed and non-credentialed).
- Providing deeply informed remediation guidance and advisory services for identified/verified vulnerabilities
SOLUTION OVERVIEW
For high-value software assets or critical points-of-entry into your network, working with UBUNIFU DIGITECH begins with a primer on scanning versus penetration testing. Scanning and penetration testing are not synonymous
– scanning is never enough, it is only an initial step in the entire assessment process which involves:
- Effective, thorough scanning requires multiple scanning tools and overlapping scans against the same resources-utilizing different tools turns up different results and data formats
- Potential vulnerabilities are also analyzed and verified by our experts to exclude any false positives and probe for additional vulnerabilities that scanning did not detect;
only trained penetration testing professionals like the ones at UBUNIFU DIGITECH can offer that level of thoroughness
-
In-depth penetration testing to final reporting of findings and recommendations is what sets UBUNIFU DIGITECH apart from the crowd, and why we are given the critical responsibility of assessing the security of your most high-value/high-risk external-facing network assets
