Internal vs External Penetration Testing
Internal and external infrastructure testing provide two different models of what an attacker could damage within your network. WorkNest recommends a blended test with internal and external assessment components for the best security outcome.
Internal Pen Tests
To evaluate the vulnerable internal network infrastructure, you need an internal pen test. As an in-depth assessment, it models what damage an attacker could do if they got direct access to your internal network.
External Pen Tests
External pen tests uncover how easily your external-facing systems can be breached. As few or no details are provided up-front, penetration testers start with no user credentials to access to internal systems.
Benefits of network penetration testing
The risks of hackers breaching your network defenses include data breaches, service outages and damaged systems. This often leads to significant financial and reputational damage that can be hard to recover from. By undertaking network penetration testing your business will be exploiting vulnerabilities in a controlled environment before a cyber criminals gets the chance.
WorkNest uses real-world hacking techniques to methodically test the security status of your infrastructure, systems and network. Our expert pen testers identify your cyber weaknesses and prepare a detailed report detailing every threat we uncovered, including remediation advice. Network penetration testing is regularly performed with application testing for a complete overview of your cyber vulnerabilities.
