What is Penetration Testing?

Penetration testing or pen testing is designed to test a system, network, or web application to find gaps or vulnerabilities that have the potential to be exploited by an attacker or hacker.

Penetration Testing

Penetration tests are critical to identifying gaps in security from the perspective of a malicious threat actor, the impact if those gaps are exploited in an attack, and a clear, prioritized risk-based plan to address the vulnerabilities quickly and effectively.

Pen testing can be applied to products, environments, applications – any attack surface that is targeted by potential attackers in the wild can be tested. The approach used and attack scenarios are flexible and can mimic opportunistic attackers, advanced persistent threats, or motivated attackers. Every testing engagement is customized to meet the needs of our customer’s unique requirements.

Needs

1. Uncover vulnerabilities, security flaws and potential threats

2. Analyze and determine attack surfaces and scenarios

3. Prioritized recommendations and corrective actions


The Benefits of Hitachi Systems Penetration Testing Service

Penetration tests provide a baseline assessment of potential threats to begin to reduce the overall risk in your environment in a structured, efficient way. Fundamentally, a pen test provides a comprehensive list of vulnerabilities and security flaws, a list of assets associated with the vulnerabilities, and most importantly the impact associated with the specific vulnerability.

This service delivers:
1. A list of vulnerabilities and security flaws uncovered by a skilled ethical hacker
2. A list of assets or systems associated with the vulnerabilities
3. A plan to manage or eliminate the risk

The 3 Phases of Penetration Testing

1


PRE-ENGAGEMENT

Define scope, documentation, and rules.

2


ENGAGEMENT

Evaluate application and/or network layers along with segmentation.

3


POST-ENGAGEMENT

Findings and insights which are applicable and useful.


Penetration Testing vs Vulnerability Assessments

To improve your security posture, should you start with a penetration test, a vulnerability assessment or schedule both?

The answer is both should be part of a threat and vulnerability management program because they have unique benefits. However, penetration tests simulate the actions of an attacker while vulnerability assessments catalogue assets, assign a value to those assets, identify vulnerabilities, and prioritize remediating or addressing those vulnerabilities.

It makes sense to lay the groundwork to improve a security program with vulnerability management and then test the newly fortified defense with a penetration test to ultimately create an ongoing process that incorporates both services.
