PENTESTING

Penetration testing involves mimicking real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities in your organization’s systems before they can be exploited by real cyberattacks. This testing ultimately strengthens security controls, reduces risk, and validate your existing defensive controls.

• INTERNAL: Identifies weaknesses within your internal network and systems.
• EXTERNAL: Focuses on vulnerabilities in external-facing assets like websites and public servers.
• WEB APP: Tests web applications for common vulnerabilities, including injection attacks and misconfigurations.
• API: Examines the security of APIs, ensuring they are secure against unauthorized access and data leaks.

TRAINING

Small and medium-sized enterprises are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals, often because they lack the extensive resources of larger organizations to invest in comprehensive cybersecurity controls. Security awareness training is critical for those organizations in order to protect their crown jewels, and maintain trust with their clients.
