Penetration testing is a method of evaluating the security of an information system or network by simulating an attack to find out vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit.

Penetration testing can reveal to network administrators, System administrators, IT managers, and executives the potential consequences of a real attacker breaking into the network.
A penetration test will point out vulnerabilities and document how those weaknesses can be exploited. It also shows how an attacker can exploit several minor vulnerabilities to compromise a computer or network. Penetration testing exposes the gaps in the security model of an organization. It helps organizations strike a balance between technical prowess and business functionality from the perspective of potential security breaches. This information is also useful during disaster recovery and business continuity planning.

Types of Penetration Testing We Offer

Internal Vulnerability Assessment

During an Internal Attack & Penetration Test, Querensics consultants simulate the “insider threat” (e.g., a disgruntled employee or business partner) by employing the same tools, methods, and tactics used by the bad guys to breach the internal network and IT systems of your organization.

The goal is to identify your internal vulnerabilities ahead of time and advise you on fixing them before a real insider threat incident occurs. During an internal penetration test, we attempt to gain access to as many of your critical internal systems as possible.

Web App Pen testing

During a Web App Attack & Penetration Test, Quernesics attacks your web applications from a black-box perspective, focusing on evaluating the security of your web applications.

The goal is to identify vulnerabilities in your web applications and advise you on how to fix them before hackers exploit them.

Mobile App Penetration testing

During a Mobile App Attack & Penetration Test, Querensics experts attack your mobile applications from a black-box perspective, focusing on evaluating the security of your mobile applications.

The goal is to identify vulnerabilities in your mobile applications (e.g. Android and iOS mobile apps) and advise you on how to fix them before malicious individuals exploit them.

Social Enginerring Test

Social Engineering seeks to attack the “human” element of security – your people. Your people are often the most potent source of information regarding your organization, and cybercriminals know this – and use it to their advantage.

The goal of our Social Engineering tests is to manipulate your people using the same methods and tools used by the real cybercriminals, in order to obtain confidential information from them which relates to your organization.

External Penetration testing

During an External Attack & Penetration Test, Querensics consultants employ the same tools, methods, and tactics used by the bad guys to breach the public-facing IT systems and network of your organization.

The goal is to identify your vulnerabilities ahead of time and advise you on how to fix them before a real hacking incident occurs. During an external penetration test, we attempt to gain access to as many of your systems as possible from the outside.

Wireless Pen testing

During a Wireless Attack & Penetration Test, Querensics consultants attack your wireless infrastructure from outside your organization. We will simulate hacker attempts to attack and exploit your wireless access points.

The goal is to identify your vulnerabilities in your wireless access points that could enable an outsider to gain access to your internal network, and ultimately, to sensitive business information.

Physical Pen testing

During a Physical Penetration Test, Querensics consultants attempt to bypass physical security controls to gain unauthorized access to your offices, buildings, and data centers, to evaluate the effectiveness of your physical security controls and employee awareness.

The goal of physical penetration testing is to uncover vulnerabilities in physical security controls and advise you on how to fix them before malicious third parties exploit them.
