Penetration Testing
What is Automated Penetration Testing?
vPenTest is an IT-360 automated network penetration testing platform that amalgamates the knowledge, methodology, processes, and toolsets of a team of security consultants into a single, deployable platform for organisations of all sizes. We aid organisations in conducting a penetration test within their environment at any given time, thereby fulfilling both compliance requirements and adhering to security best practices. This platform, automated by vPenTest, is founded on a framework that continuously enhances over time.
Traditionally, organisations encounter several challenges when seeking a penetration test, including availability, experience and background, as well as low-quality deliverables that fail to effectively communicate the critical issues and remediation strategies necessary for organisations to mitigate their overall cyber risk. Through years of experience, certifications, industry contributions including numerous tools, vPenTest addresses a critical need for organisations in an ever-changing threat landscape.
No more scheduling conflicts.
A full-blown penetration test, whenever you need, however often you need.
Developed on a framework and methodology that evolves and enhances as industry threats escalate.
Backed by 10+ years of experienced and OSCP, CISSP, CEH, and OSCE certified consultants.
Benefits of vPenTest for your organisation
vPenTest helps organisations solve an ongoing challenge of meeting compliance, achieving security best practices, and researching multiple vendors to compare numerous factors to meet their offensive security needs.
Backed by experts
Combining the knowledge, skills, logic, and toolsets of numerous certified security consultants into one platform, vPenTest is the perfect solution to consistently satisfy your organisation’s needs for quality results.
Real-time activity tracking
An important step to assessing your organisation’s risk is the ability to detect and respond to malicious activities occurring within your environment. vPenTest creates a separate log file for every single activity that is performed so you can correlate our activities with your monitoring and logging solutions.
Meet compliance and best practices
By having the ability to perform
a quality network penetration test whenever you want and however
often you want, your organisation can be assured that it will continuously meet security best practices and compliance regulations.
Our Penetration Testing Methodology
vPenTest combines multiple methodologies that were once manually conducted into an automated fashion to consistently provide maximum value to organisations.
Egress filtering testing
Automatically perform egress filtering to ensure that your organisation is effectively restricting unnecessary outbound traffic. Unrestricted outbound access can allow a malicious actor to exfiltrate data from your organisation’s environment using traditional methods and unmonitored ports.
Authentication attacks
Upon the discovery of user account credentials, vPenTest will automatically attempt to validate those credentials and determine where they are most useful. This is a common process executed by both malicious attackers and penetration testers and is performed during privilege escalation.
Privilege escalation and lateral movement
Using a valid set of credentials, vPenTest will attempt to identify valuable areas within your organisation. This is conducted through a variety of methods, including the use of vPenTest’s Leprechaun tool which assists in identifying where sensitive targets are.
Data exfiltration
Critical data leaving your organisation is an extremely serious concern. If access to confidential and/or sensitive data can be attained, vPenTest will simulate and log this activity to help your organisation tighten areas that should restrict data exfiltration.
Simulated Malware
With elevated access, vPenTest will attempt to upload malicious code into remote systems in an attempt to test the organisation’s end-point anti-malware controls.
Reports available within 48 hours
Our detailed deliverables will allow your network staff to cross reference our activities with monitoring and alerting controls.
Our Penetration Testing service
We offer two different network penetration testing services to guide your organisation to a better security posture and program.
Internal networking penetration testing
Using a device connected to your internal environment, our consultants will discover security vulnerabilities present within the internal network environment. These activities simulate that of a malicious attacker.
External networking penetration testing
Assuming the role of a malicious attacker from the public Internet, our consultants will identify security flaws within your external network environment. These flaws can include patching, configuration, and authentication issues.
ASSESS YOUR OVERALL SECURITY BEFORE ATTACKERS DO
An era with data breaches on the rise
We now live in a digital economy 56% of all internet traffic is criminal in nature. 61% of small and medium businesses are now being hit by cyber attacks every year, and the average cost of a cyberattack has increased to £2.2 million , making it extremely difficult for businesses to recover.

How do data breaches occur?
A data breach occurs when a cybercriminal infiltrates a data source and extracts confidential information. This can be done by accessing a computer or network to steal local files or by bypassing network security remotely. The most common cyber attacks used in data breaches are outlined below.

The best defense is a good offense.

- Vulnerability Assessments
- Penetration Testing
- Social Engineering

- Implementing controls
- Security monitoring
- Incident response
Why Does Your Organisation Need a Penetration Test? Penetration Test?
Penetration tests allow organisations to assess their cyber security posture based on realistic attack scenarios, which enables them to address issues that would be overlooked if they followed a solely defensive approach.
Penetration tests reveal crucial security flaws.
They expose issues beyond the scope of vulnerability assessments.
Penetration Testing Works
Penetration testing is clearly effective in exposing ways in which threat actors could break into and move across your network in order to:
ACCESS
MANIPULATE
DAMAGE
SELL
Penetration Testing and its Purpose
Evaluate current security detection and monitoring controls
Provide businesses with remediation strategies to mitigate risk
Understand how attackers target their most confidential/sensitive data
