Core Security Core Impact

Core Impact is a penetration testing software platform that enables security teams to conduct penetration tests against a range of target environments. It runs on Windows and includes an integrated SQL database, supporting deployment on physical or virtual systems. The platform supports multi-vector testing across network infrastructure, endpoints, web applications, operating systems (Windows, Linux, Mac), cloud environments (public, private, hybrid), databases, web services, network appliances, and software applications. Core Impact provides Rapid Penetration Tests (RPTs), which are guided automations designed to reduce time spent on repetitive testing tasks, allowing testers to focus on more complex assessments. The platform includes a library of commercially developed and validated exploits that receive real-time updates as new exploits and platform coverage become available. These exploits are tested and certified for stability and reliability. Reporting capabilities allow organizations to document findings and validate compliance with industry regulations. Reports are customizable to support different use cases. A "leave no trace" feature allows agents deployed during testing to be configured with programmable self-destruct capabilities at the product, workspace, or module/RPT level, ensuring no agents remain after a test concludes. Core Impact integrates with several security testing tools and vulnerability scanners, enabling import of scan data for vulnerability validation. It also supports phishing simulation and ransomware simulation capabilities for measuring security awareness.
