The most effective way to keep cybercriminals from gaining unauthorised access to your network is to test for external threats.
CREST Accredited
In this digital age online presence is the face of your business. Hacking techniques are evolving and the data value is going up, creating a lucrative business for hackers. This is making every business vulnerable. Penetration Testing provides the assurance that your IT infrastructure and Applications are safe.
3Columns has vast experience with complex architecture designs gained through years of experience working with clients of all sizes, domains and structures. As we keep ourselves abreast with threat activities on a daily basis, 3Columns is constantly learning about the latest attack techniques, exploits and security flaws.
A compromised IoT device can provide hackers full access to your network or act as a jump host that hackers can use to launch an attack on other organisations.
External Infrastructure Penetration Testing is a combination of manual and automated testing of a client’s public-facing systems by simulating a malicious internet attacker. Servers with public IP addresses that can be accessed by internet users, such as websites and email servers, are examples of public facing systems.
3Columns has extensive experience in using external infrastructure testing methodologies to identify security flaws. Among these methodologies are:
Detecting firewall misconfigurations,
identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities,
locating and compromising administrative services and interfaces, and other attack techniques
The testing will identify potential attack vectors through which a system could be remotely compromised. 3Columns will present the findings, including replication steps, as well as remediation recommendations.
External penetration testing services will typically focus on PTES (Penetration Testing Execution Standard) and OSSTMM (Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual) for your organization’s public-facing systems. In doing so, our expert penetration team aims to identify security flaws with your organization’s external facing network that hold the potential to be exploited.
Just like you check the locks of your door and your office alarm, it is crucial to regularly test your external cyber environment. By doing so, you can guarantee that cybercriminals will not gain unauthorised access to your external network and private data, as well as ensure that your organisation will not experience costly downtime and damaging reputational damage that is associated with a data breach.
The cost of an external penetration test will generally depend on the type of assessment (whitebox, blackbox or greybox testing). As our experience, most companies looking to undertake an external penetration test can require between 8-10 days of testing and consulting services. There are other factors to consider that affect the price, including any regulatory or legal requirements affecting your industry.
