VULNERABILITY TESTING
AND
PENETRATION TESTING
Identifying and helping to address hidden weaknesses in your organisation’s security
Cyber Security Services
We help organizations assess their information security maturity level and identify vulnerabilities that can impact the business
A common myth is that cyber-attacks only happen to certain types of organizations, such as high-profile technology businesses. However, the cold, hard truth is that every organization has valuable data to lose. In fact, the attacks that happen most frequently are completely indiscriminate, using scripted, automated tools that identify and exploit whatever weaknesses they happen to find.
Cyber-attacks can be extremely harmful. Tangible costs range from stolen funds and damaged systems to regulatory fines, legal damages, and financial compensation for injured parties. However, what might hurt even more are the intangible costs, such as loss of competitive advantage due to stolen intellectual property, loss of customer or business partner trust, loss of integrity due to compromised digital assets, and overall damage to an organization’s reputation and brand, all of which can send an organization’s share price plummeting.
Being resilient to cyber-risks starts with awareness at the board and C-suite level and a recognition that at some point your organization will be attacked. You need to understand the biggest threats, and which assets are at greatest risk – the assets at the heart of your organization’s mission.
Why your organisation needs a pen test
With threats constantly evolving, it’s recommended that every organisation commissions penetration testing at least once a year, but more frequently when:
- Making significant changes to infrastructure
- Launching/introducing changes into your systems
- Preparing for compliance with security standards
- Bidding for large commercial contracts
- Utilising and/or developing custom applications
- Improving cyber risk awareness
Types of Penetration Tests and vulnerability assessments we do
Our team will rigorously investigate your network to identify and exploit a wide range of security vulnerabilities. This enables us to establish if assets such as data can be compromised, classify the risks posed to your overall cyber security, prioritise vulnerabilities to be addressed, and recommend actions to mitigate risks identified.
Web applications play a vital role in business success and are an attractive target for cybercriminals. Our ethical hacking services include website and web app penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities including SQL injection and cross-site scripting problems plus flaws in application logic and session management flows.
Unsecured wireless networks can enable attackers to enter your network and steal valuable data. Wireless penetration testing identifies vulnerabilities, quantifies the damage these could cause and determines how they should be remediated.
Mobile app usage is on the rise, with more and more companies enabling customers to conveniently access their services via tablets and smartphones. Our team will carry out in-depth mobile application assessments based on the latest development frameworks and security testing tools.
People continue to be one of the weakest links in an organisation’s cyber security. Fisherlin Global Investments social engineering pen test service includes a range of email phishing engagements designed to assess the ability of your systems and personnel to detect and respond to a simulated attack exercise.
