External Pen Testing: Outside In, Like Real Threats

Simulates attacks from the internet to uncover perimeter gaps and public-facing exposures.

Internet-Facing Asset Discovery

Identify exposed IPs, services, and forgotten infrastructure attackers could exploit.

Firewall and Port Scanning

Check what's unnecessarily open—and what shouldn't be reachable at all.

Exploitation of Public Vulnerabilities

Leverage known exploits to test real-world risk and entry points.

Credential and Access Testing

Simulate brute force, phishing, or password reuse attacks from external sources.

Internal penetration testing illustration

Internal Pen Testing: Assume They're Already In

Simulates insider threats or post-breach movement to uncover soft spots behind the firewall.

Lateral Movement Simulation
Test how far an attacker can pivot after one compromised credential.
Privilege Escalation Attempts
Identify weak configurations allowing users to gain unauthorized access or admin rights.
Sensitive Data Exposure
Search for unprotected databases, shared drives, or forgotten internal documentation caches.

Web & Mobile App Testing: Where Users Click, Attackers Probe

Simulates real-world abuse cases to identify logic flaws, code weaknesses, and insecure configurations.

Authentication Weaknesses

Test login bypass, session hijacking, and password reset flaws attackers exploit.

Authorization Controls

Check if users can access restricted data or functions without permission.

Injection Attacks

Probe for SQL, XSS, and command injections through user-controlled inputs.

API Abuse and Enumeration

Fuzz endpoints, identify insecure methods, and expose over-permissive integrations.

Insecure Data Storage

Detect sensitive information stored unencrypted or accessible within mobile file systems.

Business Logic Exploits

Mimic misuse—discount abuse, replay attacks, or bypassed approval workflows.
