It is a method to assess the security of a computing system or network, by means of an attack simulation.<\/p>

Penetration tests can be<\/p>

  • Internal: the simulation requires that the attacker has physically access to the organisation\u2019s facilities or has an in-depth knowledge of the structure and of the company\u2019s organization<\/li>
  • External: the simulation requires that the attacker is an external person with a limited knowledge of the target systems<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

    Identification of the largest possible number of vulnerabilities and configuration errors related to systems and applications that might affect the security level of the entire infrastructure.<\/p>

    After the testing, the working group that performed the tests, will provide the customer with a document containing the description of the vulnerabilities found and the recommended solutions in order to ensure network security.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

    The security probe is divided into several phases, each of which is focused on different areas of the IT infrastructure.<\/p>

    Progressively, vulnerabilities existing in the attacked systems are identified and exploited, collecting more information and authorizations with regard to a \u201cprivilege escalation\u201d mechanism.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

    Penetration tests are performed trying to minimize the impact on the efficiency of systems subject to activities.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
