Crashtest Security

Penetration testing is the ethical testing of a company's cyber security defences.

Penetration testing can be for a company's entire IT cloud and IT infrastructure, a single application, or for an IoT (Internet of Things) device.
 


A penetration test or "pen test" will emulate the full set of actions that are performed by cyber criminals.  These actions are identified in leading cybersecurity frameworks - and most clearly in the MITRE ATTACK framework.

The objective of a pen test is to report on vulnerabilities that could be exploited, and then report them back to the company, so that the vulnerabilities can be addressed before they are exploited by a cyber attacker.

Penetration testing can be restricted to testing the level of cyber resilience from a technology perspective, or can extend to simulated email phishing tests, where employee cyber awareness and resilience is tested.

Beyond Penetration testing, there is Red Teaming, where a team will test all elements of corporate security defences, including physical security, site access, cyber security, and social engineering elements.  Red Teaming is viewed either as additional to penetration testing, or as an advanced, next level form of penetration test.


Penetration testing

Knowing the current and potential threats that  present the greatest risk to your orgainisation, and proactively ensuring that the right people, process and technology solutions are in place to mitigate against them.

Threat intelligence is information on specific cyber threats to your organisation.  

Threat intelligence moves the goal posts: rather than responding to an attack, threat intelligence enables an attack to be prevented.  This can be anything from breaking up and arresting a cyber criminal group, to identifying the attack vectors and profiles in advance of attack,  then ensuring sufficient protections and mitigations are in place.  

Threat intelligence is gained from large data sources shared between cyber security companies, on global network and dark web activity, and also from honey pots, which are simulations of an actual company network, that then attract the attacks of criminal groups targeting the specific company.

Threat intelligence enables the delivery of ATP / Advanced Threat Protection.

Threat Intelligence

Understanding network, internet, and systems activity, and being able to flag events that are due to an attack or security breach.
