All you need to know about penetration testing

A penetration test, also known as a “pen test” is a method for evaluating the effectiveness of an organization’s security controls. Testing is performed under controlled conditions, simulating scenarios representative of what a real attacker would attempt. When gaps are identified in security control, a penetration test goes beyond basic vulnerability scanning to determine how an attacker would escalate access to sensitive information assets, confidential information, personally identifiable information (PII), financial data, intellectual property, or any other sensitive information. Penetration testing utilizes pen test tools and techniques, guided by a disciplined and repeatable methodology, resulting in a report containing detailed findings and recommendations that allow an organization to implement countermeasures and improve the security posture of the environment. These improvements ultimately reduce the likelihood an attacker could gain access.

Goals of a penetration test vary greatly based on the scope of review. The goal to penetration testing is to test your technology assets for their security, their safeguards, and controls by trying to penetrate through any configured defences.

The length of the penetration testing engagement depends on the type of testing, the type and number of systems, and any engagement constraints. Typical engagements have an average testing time of 2 – 4 weeks.

Penetration testing should be performed on a regular basis (at least once a year) to ensure more consistent IT and network security management by revealing how newly discovered threats (0-days, 1-days) or emerging vulnerabilities might be exploited by malicious hackers.

Crest is a globally recognized accreditation and certification scheme for organizations and individuals who perform penetration testing with the highest legal, ethical and technical standards. Crest penetration testing is a type of cyber security testing that is used to evaluate the safety of a computer system or network. It is also known as ethical hacking. The main aim of this testing is to find vulnerabilities in the system so that they can be fixed before attackers can exploit them.

The Council of Registered Ethical Security Testers (CREST) is an international not-for-profit membership organization that represents and supports the professional information security testing industry. CREST provides assurance that its members meet internationally recognized standards for ethical practices and technical competence. To become a CREST member, organizations must meet rigorous requirements for ethical practices, technical competence and insurance cover. This provides clients with the assurance that they are working with a reputable and reliable security testing provider.
