Benefits of Internal Infrastructure Penetration Testing

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.

Although these environments are usually segregated from the internet through various controls and network devices, they often are riddled with security vulnerabilities that could potentially allow an attacker to compromise your entire organisation.

Our CREST approved internal infrastructure penetration testing service can provide you with insight into security vulnerabilities within what could be your most critical assets. We can:

Identify security vulnerabilities relating to insecure network configurations.
Identify critical flaws within critical services and network devices.
Highlight attack paths, once an attacker has a foothold within the internal environment.
Provide assurance that an expert team has reviewed the internal infrastructure for security vulnerabilities and advised accordingly.
