Cybersecurity Penetration Testing | Beat Hackers to the Punch

SOLIDIFY YOUR DEFENSES WITH PENETRATION TESTING

Are you confident that your current cybersecurity solution can hold up against a cyberattack? Whether the vulnerability is embedded within your web applications, network, or specific software, there’s always a chance it can be exploited. That’s why penetration tests are such a valuable resource for companies looking to bolster their security platforms. Standard penetration tests involve an IT professional (or an automated service) seeking out ways to breach your network’s defenses, before filing an in-depth penetration testing report to inform your team about your vulnerabilities.

Penetration tests are commonly used not only to exploit weaknesses but to honor security policies and compliance requirements. At Next I.T., our team works closely with your own to identify your areas of concern, and ultimately to determine how strong you want your network to be. From there, one of our experts administers a pen test and navigates your network as if they were malicious software or a virus.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PENETRATION TESTING?

Ever heard that phrase about the best time to plant a tree? The same holds true for your cybersecurity: The best time to improve your cybersecurity was years ago. The second-best time is right now. Plenty of benefits go along with performing a penetration test that go beyond simply identifying (and exploiting) your security vulnerabilities. Key advantages of pen testing include:

Finding out what information is available, and what level of access you need to find it
Identifying ports and services that are open to unauthorized users
Identifying poor patch management processes
Analyzing outdated or underperforming antivirus protection, password protection, and account management practices
Detailed reporting that offers maximum clarity so you can start planning for the future
