OUR INTERNAL PENETRATION TESTING SERVICES
What is Internal Penetration Testing?
It is a type of network penetration testing designed to identify and fix vulnerabilities within internal network infrastructures, consequently, by replicating the same techniques used by malicious business partners or disgruntled employees attempting to breach your network testing from within.
However, it is highly recommended to conduct an internal pentest at least once a year or following any major changes to the infrastructure to stay on top of the latest hacking methods for penetration.
Conducting Network Testing is also required by various standards, such as PCI-DSS, ISO27001, and SOC 2.
What We Test in Your Internal Network
Meanwhile, Organizations focus most of their efforts on securing their external networks, leaving their internal cybersecurity vulnerable to various threats. As a result, to maximize the identified vulnerabilities, our internal penetration testing focuses on, but is not limited to the following:
Local
Servers
Intrusion
Detection Systems
Access
Points
Databases
Security devices
Workstations
We Guide You Through Each Step of The Process
If your organization has not gone through network penetration testing before, you may not know what to expect. Even if you have, certainly, you are wondering what Vumetric’ stages of testing are. Here is a high-level breakdown of each step of our proven process:

DID YOU KNOW?
“As a result, the recovery costs following a ransomware incident doubled in 2021, reaching an average of $2.3M per attack. ”
Test Your Internal Network Remotely
For example, specialists had to test your internal network directly on-site, requiring user access forms or visitor badges, similarly, which generates additional costs and approval times. Therefore, our experts have designed a remote penetration testing device capable of testing any kind of internal network while eliminating the need to be on-site, making the assessment more cost-effective.
Benefits of Testing Internal Network Remotely
Pen testing, also known as penetration testing or ethical hacking, is the process of testing a computer system, network, or web application to find security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by cybercriminals.
By mimicking the actions of real-world attackers, pen testers can identify weaknesses in an organization’s defenses and help them to improve their cyber security posture.
In addition to finding and fixing vulnerabilities, pen testing can also help organizations to understand their cyber security risks, assess the effectiveness of their current defenses, and make more informed decisions about where to allocate their resources. While there are many advantages to pen testing, it is important to remember that it is only one tool in the cyber security toolkit.
When used correctly, it can be a powerful weapon against cybercrime.
However, it is not a silver bullet and should not be used as a replacement for other important cyber security measures such as incident response planning and employee training.
