Internal Penetration Test

Fortifying Your Defenses from Within

Atvik Security’s Internal Penetration Testing service provides a comprehensive assessment of your internal security controls, identifying and mitigating risks from potential insider threats and system vulnerabilities.

Why Internal Penetration Testing is Essential

Internal penetration testing is a critical component of a robust cybersecurity strategy:

• Identifies vulnerabilities and weaknesses within your internal network that could be exploited by malicious insiders or external attackers who have breached the perimeter
• Assesses the effectiveness of your internal security controls, such as network segmentation, access controls, and monitoring systems
• Helps ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations, such as PCI DSS, which requires annual internal penetration testing
• Provides valuable insights for enhancing incident response plans and minimizing the impact of a potential breach

By proactively identifying and addressing internal security risks, you can significantly reduce the likelihood and impact of a successful attack.

Our Comprehensive Testing Methodology

Our team of certified ethical hackers employs a thorough methodology to assess the strength of your internal security controls:

1. Information Gathering and Discovery
   • Collect information about your internal network infrastructure, systems, and applications
   • Identify potential targets and vulnerabilities using automated scanning tools and manual techniques
2. Vulnerability Assessment and Exploitation
   • Attempt to exploit identified vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to systems and data
   • Assess the potential impact of successful exploits and the extent of access that could be gained
3. Privilege Escalation and Lateral Movement
   • Attempt to escalate privileges and move laterally within the internal network, simulating the actions of a malicious insider or an external attacker who has breached the perimeter
   • Identify sensitive data and critical systems that could be compromised
4. Security Control Testing
   • Evaluate the effectiveness of internal security controls, such as network segmentation, firewalls, and intrusion detection/prevention systems
   • Test the strength of authentication mechanisms and access controls
5. Reporting and Remediation Guidance
   • Provide a detailed report of our findings, including identified vulnerabilities, their severity, and potential impact
   • Offer prioritized recommendations for remediation and guidance on enhancing your internal security controls

Throughout the testing process, we work closely with your team to ensure minimal disruption to your operations and to provide ongoing support in implementing remediation measures.
