What is a penetration test?
When you have a penetration test performed, you allow legal hackers to break into your IT environment. The advantage is that this way you get a good insight into the vulnerabilities of the system and are ahead of cybercriminals. Vulnerabilities in the application can be fixed early, making the organization safer and minimizing risks.
Penetration testing involves looking at various IT systems and applications. For example, I perform pen tests on both web applications, mobile applications and your organization's infrastructure. This ensures early detection of weaknesses and openings and prevention of effective cyber attacks.
Exactly what will be tested we discuss in advance so that you get the results you expect and the most essential parts are as secure as possible.
Types of penetration tests
Black Box testing: With minimal prior knowledge, your application or infrastructure will be tested for vulnerabilities. In this type of test, I have no access to the source code, no account for the web application and my access is limited.
Grey Box testing: In these tests, I will have partial access to your applications. The privileges may still be limited but I will have login codes, for example, to search for vulnerabilities on the web application itself.
White Box testing: I get access to many aspects of the scope discussed. For example, insight into the source code, access to the web application with login credentials for users with different privileges.
