Penetration-Testing FAQ's
You've got questions, we've got answers.
A penetration test, or “pen test”, is a security assessment that simulates an attack by a malicious party on a network or application in order to identify security flaws. This test is coordinated ahead of time and executed with an attempt to avoid damaging any system. At the end of the test, we will provide you with a report that includes found issues and weaknesses along with suggestions for how to remediate them.
There are a couple of big differences between a VA and a Penetration Test. First, a VA scan is an automated test. A penetration test is performed by our certified experts that actually dig into the complexities of your network and actively try to exploit any vulnerabilities that they may discover.
A vulnerability scan typically only identifies vulnerabilities at a high level. This scan is not intended to exploit vulnerabilities, and produces an indication report. A pen tester will dig deeper and attempt to identify root causes of vulnerabilities; they use their brain and creativity to gain access to databases and extract sensitive data.
If your goal is to find the big problems in your applications or network architecture, we suggest a penetration test rather than a vulnerability assessment.
Everybody wants to keep their businesses running and maintain a good reputation with their customers. Partnering with a MalwareCare, you will receive a high quality penetration test where our expert engineers will work from the mindset of an attacker, helping you to truly improve the security of your systems.
There are many reasons why a business might get a pen test. Perhaps they want to protect their customers or their reputation; both great reasons. They want to prevent downtime, damage, and humiliation in the face of a security incident. Maybe they’re releasing new software and want to make sure any changes made didn’t cause unanticipated problems. Or maybe they need to provide assurance to a 3rd party that they are secure–this can help limit liabilities if things go wrong.
In any case, we can help.
Generally, a good rule of thumb is to do at least an annual penetration test. This can reduce the company’s or application’s security risks.
However, in today’s technological environment, businesses tend to undertake rapid changes to production systems. Therefore, they should ideally run pen tests quarterly or immediately after production deployment following a change in an application or its underlying technologies. As a rule of thumb, it’s best to split the penetration testing throughout the year.
Goals of a penetration test vary greatly based on the scope of review. Generally speaking, the goal of a penetration test is to validate the effectiveness of security controls designed to protect the system or assets being protected.
The cost for a penetration testing varies greatly and there are a number of factors to consider.
These include, but are not limited to, the scope of the project, the size of the environment, the quantity of systems, and the frequency of testing. Our team will schedule a detailed scoping meeting to produce a very clear understanding of the needs, and develop a statement of work prior to engaging any penetration test. Our penetration test will be performed on a fixed-fee basis to eliminate any unexpected costs or unplanned expenditures.
As an organization, our goal is to provide affordable security services, because we believe all businesses deserve security.
For this exact reason, it is imperative that the planning is done properly, and comprehensively, to identify potential risks for disruption and adjust the approach accordingly. Our planning will be conducted well in advance of any testing start date in order to ensure adequate time for communication to project stakeholders. The communication and monitoring will continue throughout the pen testing schedule.
From large Fortune 1000 companies to local small businesses, we have helped hundreds of companies secure their most valuable data.
Our team of certified experts that have decades of experience with penetration testing and vulnerability assessments, and our commitment to meeting deadlines, ensuring quality customer service, and comprehensive testing make us an industry-leader in pen testing.
After the testing, we will provide you with a final report, and that report will have enough detail and be easy enough to read so that you can see and understand the issues identified.
For each vulnerability discovered, the report will include a description, the impact and severity level, and remediation strategies to mitigate the vulnerability.
After your remediation, we can provide re-testing services (for an additional cost) to ensure that the remediations are fixed.
