Increase security maturity
Increase security maturity using real life hacking, without malicious intent.
Ethical hacking
During a pentest, an authorized ethical hacker attempts to gain access to your network and data, whether or not based on prior knowledge of the systems and internal code.
What is ethical hacking?
With ethical hacking or penetration testing, we attempt to infiltrate your network, just as real hackers with bad intentions would, but we do this legally. This allows us to look for the vulnerabilities and problems in your security and network policy. Of course, we never do anything without first discussing with you in detail and mutually agreeing on the process. The aim of this exam is always to learn how to better protect your business.
What does a pentester do?
Ethical hacking can be done in 3 ways, each using a different type of box pentest and type of tools:
- Black-box testing: a test session performed from an external perspective, without prior knowledge of the internal code.
- White-box testing: a penetration testing strategy that uses knowledge of the internal structure or code of a programme or system.
- Grey-box testing: a combination of white-box and black-box pentesting services, with the aim of detecting defects in a system.
What are the benefits of a pentest?
Gain insight into vulnerabilities
Gain insight into infrastructure and application vulnerabilities from a hacker’s perspective.
Act proactively
Plan a penetration test before a new application goes live, so that vulnerabilities are exposed before any damage can occur.
Overall higher safety level
Carrying out regular pen tests allows you to keep the security level high.
What will you get?
- Practical pentests that detect the vulnerabilities and defects in your systems.
- An overview of the potential vulnerabilities in your security and network policy.
- Insights into how to better protect your business from attacks.
How do we work?
- Kick-off meeting to discuss the objectives, including collecting info regarding the items to be tested.
- Based on several parameters, a time schedule is drawn up for carrying out the pentest.
- Execution of the test according to the agreed conditions.
- Spotit tests the accessibility while client’s teams attempt to detect the attack.
- Comprehensive report describing the tools and technologies used, the findings and any solutions or work-arounds.
- Possible new test after the resolution of the vulnerabilities found.
Why is this a priority?
A strong and consistent security and network policy is the basis for data protection, but you only know how strong your strategy really is when you put it to the test. Through ethical hacking, we try to gain access to your network and data in all kinds of ways in order to detect possible vulnerabilities. That way, you immediately know where you need to make adjustments in order to optimally protect your business.
