Penetration Testing

What is Penetration Testing?

A Penetration Test (also referred to as a ‘Pen Test’) is an assault on your organisations network with the aim of testing the ability of your systems to withstand a cyber-attack. The test is executed in an ethical manner so as not to disrupt your actual business operations, while actively identifying exploitable system weaknesses. Once identified, remediation techniques can be applied to address these vulnerabilities and secure your IT infrastructure.

The Importance of Penetration Testing

Penetration tests are a key security assessment to many organisations, undertaken at routine intervals and identifying exploitable vulnerabilities in complex networks and computer systems. The information generated from such tests can provide valuable information about the security status of a business and act as a commercial ‘enabler’, with a clean bill of health ensuring that new commercial agreements can be signed, and new ventures can be pursued with a high level of confidence. You will be safe in the knowledge that your organisations systems have been rigorously tested and that the highest level of security is in place to fend off cyber-attacks, with CYFOR also extremely well-placed to conduct any remediation work required to ensure your systems are as secure as possible.

Conducting regularly security testing will help to:

Ensure that your existing IT security is effective;
Identify security flaws so that appropriate controls are implemented;
Test new and existing software and systems for vulnerabilities;
Support compliance with relevant privacy laws and regulations such as the EU GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and DPA (Data Protection Act) 2018;
Enable conformance to standards such as the PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard);
Demonstrate a security commitment to external and internal stakeholders.

Client Testimonials

“CYFOR provided us with a comprehensive Pen Test for our Sales Geek Hub. The experience of working with CYFOR was extremely positive, they quickly grasped a scale of the project and were quick to book us in, which helped massively as we were working to a deadline. The professionalism of the service provided was brilliant. They took the time to run through the Pen Test with us, in a language we could understand, which allowed us to deliver the required report to our client. I would not hesitate to recommend CYFOR in the future.”
