Network Penetration Testing
Identifying Vulnerabilities to Secure Your Network Infrastructure
Network Penetration Testing is a critical process designed to assess the security of your organization's network by identifying potential vulnerabilities that malicious actors could exploit. This service helps you understand the weaknesses in your network infrastructure, allowing you to implement effective defenses before an attacker can take advantage of them.
We simulate real-world attack scenarios to assess the resilience of your internal and external network segments, identifying weaknesses, such as insecure configurations, outdated software, unpatched vulnerabilities, and inadequate access controls.
Automated vulnerability scanners help us quickly detect common issues, while our experts employ manual exploitation techniques to uncover more complex security flaws that automated tools often miss.
Our methodology follows industry standards and best practices, assessing key areas such as lateral movement, privilege escalation, and data exfiltration to illustrate how an attacker could navigate through your network. By combining threat intelligence with penetration testing expertise, we offer a clear picture of potential attack vectors and their impact on your operations.
After completing the network penetration test, we provide a detailed report outlining all identified vulnerabilities, associated risks, and actionable remediation steps.
With Defenda Network, you gain more than just a penetration test—you gain a strategic partner dedicated to enhancing your network security. By leveraging our deep industry expertise and comprehensive methodologies, we help you protect sensitive information, maintain compliance, and ensure business continuity.
Evaluated aspects during network penetration testing
Foundational information
DNS queries, InterNIC queries, and network sniffing can yield information regarding network hosts and endpoints (e.g., Host Name and IP Address).
Misconfigurations
Flaws, omissions, or default security settings that can be exploited.
Race Conditions
Vulnerabilities determined by the amount of time required to seize control of privileged functions as programs enter or exit privileged mode.
Updates & CVEs
Examines publicly known information security vulnerabilities and exposures.
System names
and shares
NetBIOS enumeration and Network Information System (NIS) searches, both of which are commonly employed in internal penetration tests, can yield these details.
Buffer Overflows
Lack of input length evaluations in programs, allowing the introduction and execution of arbitrary code, including the misuse of administrator privileges.
