“Identify vulnerabilities before attackers do and safeguard your business with proactive security.”
What is Network Penetration Testing?
Network penetration testing (VAPT) involves simulating real-world cyberattacks to uncover vulnerabilities within your internal and external networks. These tests help identify weaknesses in firewalls, servers, routers, switches, wireless networks, and connected assets before attackers exploit them.
Speak with our security experts and discuss your specific testing needs.
Why Do You Need Network Penetration Testing?
Protect Against Unauthorized Access: Attackers target networks to access internal systems and sensitive data.
Meet Compliance Standards: PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, NIS2, and SOC 2 require regular network security assessments.
Avoid Financial and Reputational Losses: Network compromises can lead to ransomware attacks, data theft, and operational shutdowns.
What We Look For:
Using industry standards like OWASP, NIST, MITRE ATT&CK, and CIS, we identify:
- N01:2025 – Open Ports & Unpatched Services
- N02:2025 – Weak Network Segmentation
- N03:2025 – Misconfigured Firewalls & Routers
- N04:2025 – Insecure Protocols
- N05:2025 – Credential & Password Weaknesses
- N06:2025 – Insider Attack & Lateral Movement Risks
- N07:2025 – Vulnerable Devices and IoT
- N08:2025 – Missing Security Controls
- N09:2025 – Logging & Monitoring Failures
- N10:2025 – Misconfigured Wireless Networks
