Penetration Testing
Penetration Testing Services
A penetration test finds and proves the exploitable weaknesses in an application or network before an attacker does. APT tests web, mobile, network and cloud targets, and every finding is reproduced and confirmed by a practitioner before it goes in your report.
Most companies buy a penetration test because someone asked for one. An auditor, a customer’s security questionnaire, an insurer, or a prime contractor. That is a fine reason to start, and it is worth getting more out of the exercise than a PDF that satisfies the request.
What gets tested
Web applications
Authentication and session handling, access control between roles and tenants, injection, business logic, and the things that only show up when you chain two small issues together. With source access we map your data flows first, which is the part clients tell us they had never seen of their own system.
Mobile applications
iOS and Android, client and the APIs behind them. Storage, transport, and the assumption that the client can be trusted, which it cannot.
Networks
Internal and external. Segmentation that exists on the diagram and not in the switch, credential reuse, and the path from a foothold to something that matters.
Cloud
AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. Identity and permission boundaries, exposed storage, and the misconfigurations that come from a platform default nobody revisited.
Attack surface management
A test is a point in time. Attack surface is not. Continuous discovery watches what you actually expose: the forgotten subdomain, the staging host that got a public IP, the service that came back after a deploy.
This matters most for companies that ship often. The gap between your last test and your current exposure is the window an attacker works in.
Vulnerability management
Scanning tells you what is unpatched. It does not tell you what to do first.
Vulnerability management here means triage against your environment: what is reachable, what is actually exploitable given your controls, and what an assessor will ask about. A list of four hundred findings is not a plan.
What you get
- A report a remediation team can act on, with reproduction steps
- Severity weighed against your compliance regime, not a generic CVSS number
- A retest after you fix things, because a finding is not closed until it is
- A person on a call to walk through it
What we will tell you
If a test is the wrong thing to buy right now, we will say so. A company with no asset inventory and no patching process does not need a pentest first, it needs those. We would rather lose the engagement than sell you a document you cannot use.
A scanner ranks these three as noise and moves on. Chained, they are a critical, and that arithmetic is the part a person does.
From a client on this service
The APT team have been a pleasure to work with. They deliver clear, thorough reporting and make the remediation and retesting process smooth. Communication has been excellent throughout our engagement.
