Cybriant's Penetration Testing Service is a network security assessment offering that combines manual methodologies with automation to identify vulnerabilities and support compliance requirements. The service follows a structured testing methodology across five phases: - **Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) Gathering:** Collects publicly available information (employee names, email addresses, etc.) to identify potential attack vectors against the target environment. - **Host Discovery:** Identifies active systems and services within the target environment through active scanning and port enumeration. - **Enumeration:** Gathers detailed information about discovered systems and services to uncover potential vulnerabilities. - **Exploitation:** Executes attacks against identified vulnerabilities, including password-based attacks, man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks, and relay attacks. - **Post-Exploitation:** Attempts privilege escalation from an initial foothold and evaluates additional attack paths to sensitive data or deeper environment access. Upon completion, clients receive a comprehensive report detailing identified vulnerabilities, exploitation methods used, potential impact, and actionable remediation recommendations. The service is conducted by certified security professionals and is designed to support compliance with industry and regulatory standards. Cybriant also offers guidance on remediation following the assessment. Testing can be scoped for both internal (insider threat simulation) and external (outward-facing systems) environments.
