Penetration Test

Evaluate Your Security Stance, Think Like an Attacker

The most accurate method to evaluate your organization’s information security stance is to observe how it stands up against an attack. With Protecht.ca’s penetration testing service, our experts perform a simulated attack on your network to identify faults in your system, but with care to help ensure that your network stays online. Our external, internal and wireless penetration testing services follow a structured methodology to ensure a thorough test of your entire environment that includes a detailed report with tactical and strategic recommendations that take your business goals into account.

Every tool used in our penetration testing has been thoroughly tested in Protecht.ca’s labs by consultants that have performed numerous information security assessments of organizations in the retail, healthcare, biomedical, pharmaceutical and other industries.

External Penetration Testing - From the Outside In

Our penetration testing service includes tests of your environment starting with the most general components working toward the most specific. Protecht.ca’s expertise and proven methodology allow us to effectively model attack scenarios that highlight risk from the largest, most complex environments to the most simple. Protecht.ca’s experts employ a primarily manual process to limit the generic results offered by general vulnerability assessments that use automated scanners and check-list methods.

Internal Penetration Testing - Addressing Internal Threats

Internal threats can be the most devastating that organizations face today. Internal corporate LAN and WAN environments allow users greater amounts of access, but usually with fewer security controls. Depending on your needs, Protecht.ca can facilitate an internal penetration test by deploying consultants to your facility.

• On-site Penetration Testing - a Protecht.ca expert will report for work as an employee or contractor. Utilizing normal to minimal system access levels based on the simulated role, Protecht.ca tests all access controls in an attempt to acquire critical data.

Testing Wireless Networks

Attackers commonly exploit unsecured wireless networks to gain greater access to a corporate network and compromise data. Protecht.ca will perform a penetration test of wireless networks using directed attack-based logic to identify the real risks inherent in your wireless infrastructure and what that risk means to sensitive data stored elsewhere.

Secure Device Testing

There is an increased concern about the data loss perpetuated by mobile and embed devices where physically security controls are not possible. Devices such as corporate laptops, smart phones, embedded devices, and kiosks pose a greater threat if lost, stolen, or accessed via covert means. Protecht.ca can perform an in-depth review of these devices and provide your organization with actionable changes to mitigate data-loss and exposure should they fall into the wrong hands.
