Penetration Testing

What is Penetration Testing?

Penetration testing and ethical hacking is a method to identify information security weaknesses, preempt cyber threats and protect your critical digital assets. A penetration test, or pen test, is an attempt to evaluate the security of an IT infrastructure or application by safely trying to exploit vulnerabilities.

We perform security testing of IT/IOT/OT/SCADA both at infrastructural and applicational level, including Web, Mobile and Client Servers.

How Does it Work?

Pen testers typically use a mix of automated testing tools and manual practices to simulate an attack. In addition, testers use penetration tools to scan systems and analyze results. 

The section below describes the steps involved in TCSS' penetration testing process.

STEPS INVOLVED IN OUR PENETRATION TEST PROCESS

1.
Profiling

The first phase is where we gather information regarding various information and application systems and infrastructure. This helps us identify business logic weaknesses by assessing authentication vulnerabilities to build an actionable threat profile.

2.
Manipulation

Once we’ve identified the deficiencies through observations in the previous testing phases, we establish contractual agreements with stakeholders before our penetration test team initiates planned intrusions and targeted attacks using complex tools and technologies.

3.
Evaluation

Our team of penetration test specialists conducts tests on web applications related to critical business assets to uncover faults and loopholes using Black Box and Gray Box techniques as well as automated tools.

4.
Reporting

An exhaustive report is prepared that contains details of all the tools and methods used along with information on all the vulnerabilities that were identified and exploited during penetration testing.
