Identifying weaknesses in your cyber environment has become a priority for many businesses. Implementing penetration testing consulting services can be a crucial first step to identify areas for improvement within your infrastructure. Aurora Security Consulting Services has certified ethical hackers on staff who will go into your system and simulate a real cyber-attack to find areas in your computer system that are vulnerable to threats.
We will use both automated and manual tests to evaluate your security controls and conduct tests against your internet perimeter. Penetration testing consulting services go beyond locating vulnerabilities in an environment, the tester will simulate an attack and aim to remediate the weaknesses in your environment that are most vulnerable to an attack.
Aurora's Three Types of Penetration Testing Assessments.
In an External Penetration Test. In an external penetration test, Aurora’s team of engineers simulate an external or outside attacker. From the perspective of an outside attacker, the test will probe, identify and exploit vulnerabilities in the system within scope. Next, we will attempt to breach the security perimeter of the network boundaries and attempt to gain access to systems within scope, upon breach.
In an Internal Penetration Test, we will run a test to simulate an internal attacker from inside your organization. The simulated hacker will attempt to escape out of the network boundaries and attempt to gain unauthorized user access to systems within scope and systems connected to a network.
We also offer a Website Application Penetration Testing Assessment. This is designed to meet the best practices and industry regulations for application security such as PCI, HIPAA, and Red Flag. In this type of Penetration Testing Assessment, the tester will look at the source code, the infrastructure, the operating systems, and the application functionality. The ethical hacker will attempt to gain unauthorized access to systems connected to the web application.
