Operate Ahead of the Attack

What is Penetration Testing?

Vulnerabilities within your software, hardware, and end-user environments create a playground for hackers, racking up a staggering $6 trillion annually—a figure that continues to soar. While regular testing is crucial, a truly proactive approach involves ongoing training and resources that extend far beyond infrequent assessments.


Penetration testing identifies both known and unknown vulnerabilities, but the value lies not just in detection. The insights gained from these tests, coupled with our red team’s expertise, can significantly enhance your risk assessments over time. This intelligence is so critical for your organization’s leadership that relying on annual tests alone is insufficient; you need continuous context.


In essence, we empower you to anticipate and thwart attacks with penetration testing services that take action before the hackers even wake up.


To succeed, you must become the enemy.

Penetration Testing That Gets Results

Threat

In 2018 there were 30 million cyber attacks in the US. The threat is increasing – in both numbers and sophistication. But you can substantially lessen your exposure.

Track Record

Our pen test team has helped complex organizations uncover hidden vulnerabilities in their technology, processes and people.

Results

How effective are our pen testers? 75% of vulnerabilities exploited by the Visibily team were not identified by standard automated tools. That’s a number you can take to the board.

Advantages of Visibily's Penetration Testing


  • Enhanced Security Posture: Strengthens your security measures beyond basic compliance requirements.
  • Prioritization of Vulnerabilities: Enables you to assess and prioritize the severity of identified issues effectively.
  • Reduced Breach Risk: Lowers the likelihood of a successful cyberattack on your systems.
  • Patch Verification: Allows you to track and confirm the effectiveness of applied patches.
  • Formal Security Program: Establishes a structured application security program to maintain enterprise security.
  • Integrated Automated Testing: Incorporates automated security testing throughout the software development lifecycle.
  • Comprehensive Threat Approach: Provides a proactive strategy to address adversaries and offers a complete view of your entire attack surface.

Visibily’s PT Approach.

 

Effective penetration test results:

 

  • Identify flaws and weaknesses in technology, processes and people
  • Minimize risk and strengthen compliance with regulatory requirements
  • Remediate vulnerabilities and reduce the attack surface

 

Security penetration tests typically involve manual and automated components, as well as white- and black-box testing aimed at compromising endpoints, wireless networks, mobile devices, web application security and other potential points of exposure. Because of the human in the loop, a pen test may identify flaws and weaknesses that automated scanning may miss.

  • Continuous Penetration Testing

    Continuous testing (aka attack surface management) constantly refreshes the picture of the attack surface from the assailant’s perspective, informing the risk calculation as the business drives changes into the operating environment.

  • Comprehensive Network Penetration Test

    This strategy takes a holistic view of the attack surface, focusing on breadth to identify all vulnerabilities in scope and illustrate their impacts, were they to be exploited.

  • Targeted Network Penetration Test

    Targeting the network from an adversarial perspective can result in lateral movement and the compromise of sensitive data and resources, ultimately identifying gaps in a company’s security strategy.

  • Under the Hood

    Our tech teams never stop thinking.

Attack and Penetration Test Plan


Here’s how it works:

Discover


Collect and assess all relevant information from the client, and then perform additional research using public sources. This approach offers a comprehensive understanding of the security context.

Scan


Utilizing the information gathered in the first step, perform an audit and evaluation of the client’s network, infrastructure, and assets to pinpoint potential vulnerabilities

Attack


Employing established real-world tactics, techniques, and procedures—encompassing both digital and physical approaches—the red team aims to penetrate the client’s defenses.

Review & Report


The attack team creates a comprehensive report detailing all activities, emphasizing the identified vulnerabilities and the methods used to exploit them.

Remediate


The client’s blue team, along with security partners, executes the recommended actions to minimize the risk of future attacks.

Iterate


Repeat the process regularly. Penetration tests should be performed periodically to reassess previously identified and remediated vulnerabilities, and evaluate defenses against new and emerging threats.
