If your company’s network perimeter is not properly set up, patched, and maintained, it may be exposed to breaches. It’s vital to have specialized skills to secure your internet-facing infrastructure. This includes things like operating systems, cloud services, servers, and firewalls. Penetration testing of your external network can help identify security vulnerabilities that can be exploited by unauthorized individuals to obtain access to, destroy, or exploit your company’s mission-critical data.
An external network penetration test identifies weaknesses in perimeter security, discovers public-facing vulnerable systems, and includes exploitation of such systems. These assessments can include a particular IP range or in-depth research using open-source intelligence (OSINT) techniques. To add, these tests map attack paths that lead to internal assets and validate firewall configurations, to reduce the overall attack surface. The main goal of these tests is to uncover security loopholes in your external infrastructure.
At Redfox Security, an external network penetration test reveals security vulnerabilities that attackers can leverage to steal company data. Our comprehensive reports address encryption, patching, and other vulnerabilities while addressing an organization’s preparedness against external network breaches.
To address an organization’s external posture, Redfox Security has been using various penetration testing methodologies. These include (but are not limited to) the following:
The testing will identify possible remote attack paths. We will show you how to reproduce the findings as well as give you suitable recommendations. External network penetration testing should be done at least once a year or at the bare minimum after substantial network upgrades to internet-facing systems and services.
