External Penetration Testing
An External Penetration Test focuses on evaluating the security of an organization's external network perimeter. This test simulates real-world attacks from outside the organization to identify and exploit vulnerabilities that external attackers could leverage.
An Xtronum Security engineer conducts this test by systematically collecting sensitive information through open-source intelligence (OSINT). This includes data such as employee details and breached passwords, which are then used to target external systems. The engineer employs advanced scanning and enumeration techniques to thoroughly identify potential vulnerabilities. The goal is to assess the security posture by attempting to access sensitive data, deface websites, or infiltrate internal networks, thereby comprehensively evaluating the external network's defenses.
Testing adheres to the following frameworks:
