Red Mosquito - Penetration Testing

Cyber Security
What is penetration Testing?

Penetration testing is a useful tool to help evaluate your organisation’s data security. In a penetration test, you authorise an IT security pro – such as RedMosquito – to use ethical hacking techniques to attempt to break into your systems.

This gives you a good idea of how your systems would stand up to a real-world attack, and highlights areas where your security could be tightened.

How do penetration tests work?

We use our expertise and sophisticated software tools to:
– Assess your current security measures
– Spot potential vulnerabilities
– Try to exploit these vulnerabilities in the same way that a malicious hacker would

This enables you to identify risks to your data and systems, and to put stronger security measures in place before these risks become problems.

Our Cyber Essentials Process

External Penetration Testing

We use the same information and methods that a hacker would use to gain access to your systems from outside your network. This enables us to identify vulnerabilities in your firewall, servers and other systems.

Internal Penetration Testing

This test mimics an attack from within your network, such as a rogue employee using their access privileges to cause problems.

Web Application Penetration Testing

Your website and other web applications can be a real risk to your data, so it’s vital to thoroughly test these on a regular basis. We use advanced hacking techniques to uncover potential problems caused by coding flaws or software vulnerabilities.

Mobile Application Penetration Testing

In addition to testing your website and web apps, we also test any applications that your organisation deploys to your workforce’s mobile devices.
