Internal assessments are conducted within your network perimeter. They aim to uncover what an attacker may achieve if they breach your external network’s defences and gain access to your internal network.Internal network assessments can be designed to mimic the level of access someone may achieve by entering your premises and plugging into the network. They can also replicate the level of access granted to employees or be used to assess the damage of insider threats, such as rogue employees.
What is a network and infrastructure pentest?
Network and infrastructure penetration testing detects vulnerabilities in an ICT network or infrastructure. It looks at different entry points into the system and uses them to determine how cyber attackers can exploit them.
As the world increasingly moves online, the risk of your systems and data being breached or compromised increases. Network and infrastructure penetration testing is essential to find and fix any weaknesses in your systems before a cyber incident occur.
During a network and infrastructure assessment, our consultants will conduct a simulated attack scenario mimicking attacks carried out in the wild.
These can generally be broken into two forms, an internal network assessment and an external infrastructure assessment.
Determining the controls in place to protect access to sensitive information.
During an internal assessment, our highly experienced testers will seek to move laterally across a network, compromising machines along the way. They will try to escalate their privileges to effectively take over the network. Our consultants use tried and tested techniques alongside custom methods to achieve these goals, accurately mimicking the actions taken by real hackers. During this phase, typical activities include:
Determining the controls in place to protect access to sensitive information
Finding insecure systems and services
Finding and exploiting software having publicly disclosed vulnerabilities
Compromising user accounts
Internal testing provides a comprehensive assessment of the ICT network within your network perimeter. It can accurately simulate the actions that may occur following a security breach. It provides valuable insight into how effective your defences are against potential attacks.
As the level of access granted is often equivalent to employee access levels or those visiting a building, it can provide meaningful insight into the risks posed by insider threats.
