Network Penetration Testing

Experience

While you may not want to imagine your defenses will fail, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be prepared. Penetration testing is a live measure of the effectiveness of your security defenses and controls performed by mimicking the actions of actual adversaries and bad actors. These tests allow us to find pivotal weaknesses before they become a real problem.

Cloud Services Penetration Testing

Cloud services have taken up permanent residence in our information technology landscape – they’ve become a fact of life. Unfortunately, the information moving to the cloud is not always secured properly, and the hardening measures employed in on-premises defenses do not apply to cloud security. Our cybersecurity experts employ specially designed training and processes to target the cloud’s unique risk factors specifically, keeping you informed throughout.

External Network Penetration Testing

External network penetration testing serves as your first line of defense against any cybersecurity threat. Without a thorough external network penetration test, there could be undiscovered gaps in your defenses that expose you to real risk. Wolf’s team of security specialists will ensure that your system’s potential exposures are thoroughly mapped out in advance, working closely with your own professionals to craft a process that makes sense for you. Our testers will be present from start to finish for a comprehensive advisory process, and our hands-on experience and constant presence means you’re receiving the guidance and analysis you need to prepare for real-world cybersecurity threats.

Internal Network Penetration Testing

Wolf focuses on an “assumed breach” model of internal network penetration testing. Our security specialists use industry-leading commercial network scanning and open-source tools to assess the strength of your network and its susceptibility to known vulnerabilities using tactics, techniques, and procedures that mimic real-world adversaries. Essentially, our specialists will behave as if they were the source of an internal breach, fighting against your security from the inside. We’ll work alongside your company to highlight what you’re protecting and how an inside threat might be able to impact your defense. We understand the security risks, and we’ll take the time to comprehensively investigate any potential root causes for an internal breach.

Wireless Network Penetration Testing

Your wireless network presents another opportunity for potential security breaches. Wolf’s experts will engage in penetration testing aimed at probing weaknesses in your wireless network, looking for potential cracks in your defense. For instance, an attacker may try to mimic an access point to steal credentials, finding a way to jump from your guest network to your corporate environment. This could lead to a bad actor accessing data such as non-public personal information, the organization’s financial records, organization personnel data, data detrimental to the performance of the organization, or other sensitive information.
