What is External Infrastructure Penetration Testing?

External_Infrastructure_Penetration_Testing_01

External infrastructure penetration testing is the only way to fully test the security of your Internet-facing environment.

External_Infrastructure_Penetration_Testing_02

SECFORCE simulates real-world attacks against networks, cloud-hosted infrastructure, VPNs, and perimeter services to find potential attack paths that lead to unauthorised access, data loss, or service disruption.

External_Infrastructure_Penetration_Testing_03

33% of CISOs rank external threats as their number-one stressor. Our external infrastructure penetration testing services eliminate the stress of unknown risks and show exactly what an attacker could actually reach and compromise.

Outcomes of External Infrastructure Penetration Testing

Business risk reduction

Business risk reduction

Preempt and prevent breaches, ransomware, downtime, and reputational loss by testing attack paths across your Internet-facing infrastructure before they can be exploited.

Attack surface discovery

Attack surface discovery

Get insight into your cloud and hybrid perimeter security posture, and uncover previously unknown or overlooked attack surfaces that put you at risk.

Compliance and audit evidence

Compliance and audit evidence

Present regulators and auditors with a defensible security narrative, backed by clear evidence of findings and fixes.

Secure migrations and growth

Secure migrations and growth

Gain full assurance that your Internet-facing systems are resilient against modern attackers and breaches as your environment grows or changes.

Who can benefit from External Infrastructure Penetration Testing?

External_Infrastructure_Penetration_Testing_09

Any organisation with Internet-facing infrastructure can reduce cyber risk by pen testing its external systems for potential attack paths.

External_Infrastructure_Penetration_Testing_10

External Infrastructure Penetration Testing is strongly recommended after significant changes, such as cloud migrations, deployment of new VPN or remote access solutions, firewall re-architecture, or the onboarding of managed service providers.

External Infrastructure Penetration Testing Scenarios

External_Infrastructure_Penetration_Testing_10_1

Satisfying compliance frameworks and proving due diligence to existing or potential customers.

External_Infrastructure_Penetration_Testing_11

Following security incidents, suspicious activity, or near misses to help identify root causes and systemic issues and validate that attack vectors have been removed.

External_Infrastructure_Penetration_Testing_12

Discovering obscure and hidden assets that were never intended to be presented on the internet and reducing breach risk.

External_Infrastructure_Penetration_Testing_13

Driving measurable improvement in perimeter resilience and reducing weaknesses by testing annually or quarterly.

The SECFORCE way

SECFORCE gives you a level of assurance far beyond vulnerability scanning or ASM tools.

Our job is to protect your external infrastructure against sophisticated attackers. SECFORCE testers think like adversaries to chain vulnerabilities and adapt test cases in real time as new entry points, outdated systems, or misconfigured protocols are discovered. We can actively validate the extent and impact of identified risks in a risk-controlled way.

Whatever the outcome, we don’t leave you wondering “what’s next?” All SECFORCE tests end with actionable reports that provide executives a clear view of business impact at a glance and give technical teams clear recommendations for fast, secure fixes tailored to your business context.
