W hat is Penetration Testing?

How Penetration Testing Can Benefit Your Organization
Organizations require penetration testing services for various reasons, whether for compliance obligations or vendor requirements. Technical Support International (TSI) offers penetration testing services to identify vulnerabilities in networks, applications, and systems through simulated cyber attacks. Identifying these weaknesses enables organizations to address them proactively, minimizing the risk of data breaches, financial losses, and operational disruptions.

T he Two Types of Penetration Testing

Assessing Your Network Inside & Out

External Testing Services

Assessing Outward-Facing Assets

External penetration testing evaluates the outward-facing assets of an organization, aiming to breach the internal network by exploiting vulnerabilities. Assessors may attempt to access sensitive data through channels like email, websites, and file sharing.

Internal Testing Services

Assessing Your Network

Internal penetration testing services focus on assessing the extent to which an attacker can navigate THROUGH your network following an internal breach. While external testing identifies potential entry points into the network, internal testing evaluates the potential damage that can occur post-breach.

W hen Do You Need Penetration Testing?

And Why You Will Need It
Penetration testing is essential for organizations seeking to evaluate their cybersecurity defenses by simulating real-world cyberattacks. These simulations identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in systems, networks, and applications, facilitating proactive fixes before exploitation by malicious actors. Organizations typically conduct penetration testing when:

Implementing new systems and/or applications to ensure they are secure before deployment.

Making significant changes to existing infrastructure or applications to validate security posture.

Complying with a range of regulatory requirements that mandate regular security assessments and testing.

Evaluating the overall cybersecurity resilience and readiness of the organization against evolving threats.

Demonstrating an organization's commitment to security to customers, partners, and stakeholders.

Penetration testing is typically conducted annually, ideally after addressing "low-hanging-fruit" easily exploitable vulnerabilities and implementing industry best practices in cybersecurity. By starting from this foundation, penetration testing examines potential vulnerabilities from various perspectives, ensuring robust solutions that meet security or compliance requirements.
