Network Penetration Testing

Internal vs. External

WorkNest Secure offers both internal and external penetration testing and can also provide a blended approach, which we often recommend for the most comprehensive assessment.

lan

Internal

task_alt
Internal network penetration testing looks for security issues and vulnerabilities inside your corporate network, for instance, by mimicking someone with the same physical access as a member of staff or other employees who have access to the building. It provides a comprehensive view of the configuration of your corporate network devices and servers, from the security viewpoint of an insider connected to your network.

router

External

task_alt
External network penetration testing assesses the external Internet-facing infrastructure of your corporate network, such as your Firewall, VPN endpoints, Web Servers, and Mail Servers. The level of access to these resources matches that of an external hacker attempting to breach your environment, providing a real risk indicator of your external security posture.

Comprehensive services

Network Infrastructure & Architecture Security Penetration Testing is designed to thoroughly assess your network infrastructure for vulnerabilities that could be exploited by cyber criminals.
