Network Penetration Testing
Test your perimeter and your internal estate the way a real attacker, or a malicious insider, would.
Overview
Network penetration testing simulates real attacks against your network infrastructure. External testing targets internet-facing assets from an attacker's perspective; internal testing assesses what a malicious insider or breached foothold can reach, including privilege escalation and lateral movement. It helps identify security weaknesses across internal, external and wireless environments by simulating real-world attacks against your network infrastructure.
Methodology & Standards
PTES, NIST SP 800-115 and OSSTMM, with findings mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. Internal testing covers Active Directory attacks and segmentation. Engagements can be run as black box, gray box or white box testing depending on the level of access provided.

Frequently Asked Questions
External tests your internet-facing perimeter the way a remote attacker sees it. Internal assumes an attacker is already inside and tests segmentation, Active Directory and lateral movement. Most frameworks expect both.
For internal testing, yes, typically via a connected device, VPN or a small testing appliance we ship. We agree the method during scoping so it reflects a realistic breached-foothold scenario.
Low. We avoid denial-of-service techniques unless explicitly authorised, throttle scans and schedule sensitive checks, with a contact channel for real-time coordination.
Organizations should conduct penetration testing regularly and after major infrastructure, network, or application changes to ensure new risks are identified and addressed promptly.
