Internal Infrastructure Penetration Testing

Identifying security vulnerabilities within your most sensitive internal networks.

What is Internal Infrastructure Penetration Testing?

An internal infrastructure penetration test will assess your critical internal networks to identify security vulnerabilities and weaknesses.

These are the environments that may be used on a daily basis to: transmit sensitive data, connect to business critical services and to store highly confidential information.

Internal networks and environments are often where a companies most critical assets are located. Within these internal environments, there is often a large plethora of technologies, operating systems and services – all of which will be assessed within an internal infrastructure penetration test.

Commonly Asked Questions About Internal Infrastructure Penetration Testing...

What is Internal Infrastructure Penetration Testing?

An internal infrastructure penetration test will assess your critical internal networks to identify security vulnerabilities and weaknesses. These are the networks used by your staff to handle and store sensitive data.

It is aimed at assessing internal networks from the position of an attacker physically connected to the network. This can also simulate risk relating to a compromised employee or even a malicious insider.

My Environment Is Internal, Why Does This Need Testing?

Even if your organisation has no publicly facing infrastructure, you may find that end user devices such as laptops still have access to email / internet and outbound communications.

If an attacker is able to successfully compromise an end user device through one of these vectors, they may subsequently have full access to the internal environment.

What is Assessed?

An internal infrastructure penetration test will cover the following areas at the very least:

  • Patching
  • Secure Configurations
  • Active Directory Security Controls
  • Password Management
  • Permissions
  • Network Segmentation
  • Detection and Alerting
How Do You Connect to the Internal Network?

Ruptura InfoSecurity have a variety of options to perform an internal infrastructure penetration test. This can be performed physically onsite, utilise an existing VPN solution or deploy a ‘jumpbox’ into the environment.

This all depends on the exact architecture of the network and specific requirements.

Need An Internal Infrastructure Penetration Test?

Keeping Your Stakeholders Happy

Auditors

Almost all businesses have at least some internal infrastructure. As an absolute minimum, an information security auditor would expect this to be included within a penetration testing scope for various compliance requirements.

Management

Senior staff members will have a clear picture of the internal environments and therefore make plans to introduce new policies, tooling and remediation activities.

Engineers

Network engineering and architect teams will have a clear set of defined remediatory actions that can be applied and learned from in future deployments. These can be as simple as stricter firewall rules and/or better network segmentation.
