Why testAs workplace infrastructures become more digitally complex and more interconnected, they also become more vulnerable to cyber attacks, or have a bigger attack surface for hackers to exploit.From network appliances like routers and firewalls to IoT devices like security cameras and building “smart systems,” the digital ecosystem of your workplace can provide multiple entry points and unique vulnerabilities that can be hacked.Each component not only represents a potential target but also increases the complexity of securing the entire system, as attackers only need to find one weak point to potentially compromise the entire network.By conducting penetration testing, you can shrink your attack surface, making it significantly more difficult for malicious actors to find and exploit security vulnerabilities and weaknesses.
What gets tested
1. Network
Your network infrastructure forms the backbone of your digital operations, making it a prime target for cyber threats.A single vulnerability in your network could potentially expose your entire organization to attacks, data breaches, and operational disruptions.A ZenPenTest will methodically probe your network architecture, identifying vulnerabilities in firewalls, routers, switches, and other network components before malicious actors can exploit them.We then provide you with detailed remediation strategies that help strengthen access controls, enhance network segmentation, and optimize security configurations.
2. Servers
Your servers are the backbone of your digital infrastructure, facilitating essential business operations and enabling communications across your organization.Servers represent high-value targets containing sensitive information and are often the entry points to your broader network.A ZenPenTest looks for misconfigurations, outdated software, and security gaps using industry-standard tools and methodologies.The guidance in our ZenPenTest report helps transform your servers from potential targets into robust, resilient fortresses, ensuring your vital assets remain secure against evolving threats.
3. Personal Computers
Staff work stations and laptops represent a critical access point to your organization's most valuable assets and sensitive information.A compromised endpoint device could expose your entire network to data breaches, financial losses, and privacy violations.A ZenPenTest will systematically examine your endpoint security, identifying OS vulnerabilities, software weaknesses, and misconfigured security controls before they can be exploited.We provide actionable remediation steps to strengthen device security, enhance access controls, and optimize system configurations to protect your high-risk devices.
4. IoT & Mobile Devices
Your IoT and mobile devices create an expansive attack surface across your digital ecosystem.Each connected device represents a potential entry point that could be exploited to gain access to your network and then act as a launchpad for lateral movement over to your more important systems.A ZenPenTest will thoroughly assess your IoT and mobile environment, examining device configurations, communication protocols, and security controls to secure and harden your smart devices.We deliver detailed recommendations to strengthen device security, improve network segmentation, and implement robust authentication measures across your connected infrastructure.
5. Web Applications
Your web applications serve as the digital storefront of your business, making them an attractive target for cyber attacks.A single vulnerability in your web infrastructure could lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, and compromise of customer information.A ZenPenTest will methodically analyze your web applications, examining authentication mechanisms, data protection measures, and application logic to identify security gaps before malicious actors can exploit them.We provide comprehensive remediation guidance and coding recommendations to enhance application security, strengthen access control mechanisms, all while retaining full functionality of your client-facing web services.
6. Mobile & Desktop Applications
Your mobile and desktop applications are essential tools for your business operations and user engagement.A security flaw in your applications could expose sensitive data, compromise user privacy, and damage your reputation in the marketplace.A ZenPenTest will comprehensively evaluate your applications, examining code integrity, authentication mechanisms, data storage practices, and API security before malicious actors can discover and exploit vulnerabilities.We deliver detailed security recommendations to fortify your applications and their private, public, and partner APIs while enhancing data protection measures and ensuring compliance with mobile device security standards.
The ZenPenTest
While utilizing best in class automated security tooling to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses, the majority of a ZenPenTest is a rigorous manual process that is unique to each client and each engagement.The testing methodology follows established industry standard frameworks like OWASP Top 10 and NIST guidelines. This ensures comprehensive coverage as well as a professional and well managed engagement.Throughout the testing process, clear communication channels are established between the testing team and stakeholders. Regular updates, findings, and potential impacts are reported through secure channels, maintaining transparency while protecting sensitive information.The ZenPenTest is White Box testing approach which allows full access to system architecture, source code, and documentation, allowing for deep analysis of internal structures. This comprehensive view enables the most thorough security assessment of both external and internal systems.
