Penetration Testing Service
Overview
A penetration test, also known as a pen test, is a way to simulate cyber-attack against an IT infrastructure to identify exploitable vulnerabilities. The test is conducted against internet or internal servers, web apps, network devices and anything related to IOT. Our network pent test service in Hong Kong provide the hybrid approach which relies upon both the manual and automated methods of testing.
Test Type Coverage
- WHITE BOX - As the name defines, this type of test is basically conducted based on all information available about a system or application. The customer provides proper logins for testing specially created for this type of testing to produce the best results for a test.
- GREY BOX - This type of test mixes the testing methodologies from Black Box Pen test and White Box Pen Testing. Customer shares partial information to conduct such testing.
- BLACK BOX - In a Black Box Pen test, the client does not provide with any information about their infrastructure. For internal tests the customer may provide no more than a network point for the tester to connect to. For external tests, this may simply be a URL or even just the company name that is in scope for assessment.
