Penetration Testing

A method of evaluating the security of a computer system or network by simulating an attack by a malicious user.

Penetration testing is intended to find weaknesses in an organization’s network access methods. Often times, penetration testing finds weaknesses in an organizations network security that could allow a hacker to gain unauthorized and stealth access to an organizations computer network. In most cases, via penetration testing, flaws are exposed in network security configuration settings.

Here at SpearTip we provide various penetration services with the main focus on the ability to penetrate via:

Web Application

SpearTip sets themselves apart by performing the hardcore application testing that is necessary for an organizations web apps to truly be secure. This is an area where many are being breached for it is their highest vulnerability.

Wireless

A wireless assessment performed by SpearTip will focus on an organizations overall secured deployment of wireless technology.

Elicitation / Social Engineering

SpearTip offers physical assessments to accompany a data security project since it makes no sense to protect data on networks (on and off premise), servers, workstations and other devices without providing for the physical security of these assets.

When using these techniques together, SpearTip can truly assess where and to what capacity an organization’s vulnerabilities lie.
