Frequently Asked Questions
Penetration testing, or pen testing, simulates real-world cyberattacks using the same techniques as malicious hackers. It provides organisations with a comprehensive understanding of their cybersecurity risks, helping them identify and remediate vulnerabilities while ensuring compliance with industry regulations. Additionally, penetration testing enables businesses to develop effective strategies for managing and mitigating risks, protecting critical infrastructure, applications, and sensitive data.
Penetration testing is a crucial method for demonstrating due diligence in assessing the integrity of your business infrastructure and applications. It serves as evidence that your company has taken proactive steps to protect confidential and sensitive data, meeting the expectations of regulators such as ASIC and AUSTRAC. With new legislation in Australia, businesses are now required to regularly test their systems for compliance with industry standards and ensure there are no exploitable vulnerabilities that could be leveraged by attackers.
Our advanced penetration testing services are conducted by experienced pentesters who combine extensive manual testing with automated tools. This approach allows us to identify security issues and vulnerabilities that might otherwise go unnoticed. Additionally, we provide complimentary re-testing after remediation to ensure all identified risks have been effectively addressed.
It is recommended that organizations conduct regular penetration testing at least once a year or after any major changes to their network or applications.
Vulnerability scanning is an automated process that detects potential weaknesses in your system, whereas penetration testing involves ethical hackers actively exploiting vulnerabilities to assess real-world risks. Penetration testing offers a more in-depth security evaluation and provides actionable remediation insights.
Penetration testing is conducted with minimal disruption to operations. Testing can be scheduled during off-peak hours, and non-intrusive techniques are used to prevent service interruptions. Any potential impact is assessed and agreed upon in advance to ensure a seamless execution.
A penetration test delivers a comprehensive report outlining identified vulnerabilities, risk ratings, potential impacts, and proof-of-concept exploits (if applicable). It also includes actionable remediation recommendations to strengthen security. Additionally, a retest may be conducted to confirm that security issues have been effectively resolved.
The level of access given to penetration testers depends on the type of test being conducted. In black-box testing, testers have no prior knowledge or access, simulating a real-world cyberattack. In gray-box testing, limited access and credentials are provided to assess security from an internal perspective. In white-box testing, full access to system architecture, source code, and credentials is granted for an in-depth security evaluation. The access level is determined based on the organization's security objectives and testing requirements.
Penetration testing goes beyond automated scanning by leveraging the expertise of skilled professionals to identify vulnerabilities that automated tools may overlook. While automated testing relies on predefined scripts and algorithms, penetration testing involves real-world attack simulations conducted by experienced security experts. Cyberforte’s team of highly trained penetration testers stays ahead of emerging threats, using the latest threat intelligence to perform comprehensive security assessments. Our human-driven approach ensures a deeper and more accurate evaluation of your security posture, providing actionable insights that automated tools alone cannot deliver.
