Network penetration test<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our core business and passion:<\/em> We check demand-orientated <\/strong>your systems and applications in the network, document the current status and show you where you can position yourself better.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What is the difference between a network penetration test and a vulnerability scan?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An automated vulnerability scan is a process in which a computer programme is used to automatically check a network or system for vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, a manual penetration test involves an experienced security expert performing vulnerability tests manually using various techniques to identify potential vulnerabilities in a system or network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key difference between the two methods is that an automated vulnerability scan uses a computer programme to check the system, whereas a manual penetration test is carried out by a human expert. This means that a manual penetration test is usually more precise and comprehensive, as it is carried out by an experienced security expert who is able to recognise and assess complex threat scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Penetration test classification<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are various parameters that can be agreed before carrying out a penetration test. They all have their pros and cons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Information basis<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

Realisation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. without prior knowledge (black box)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. with partial prior knowledge (grey box)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. with extensive prior knowledge (white box)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    Scope<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

    The scope describes the extent of the network penetration test. During the penetration test, we check your technical and organisational security measures, with a clear focus on the technical aspects. The scope defines exclusions and framework parameters that must be adhered to during the test - for example, network areas or components on which a special focus should be placed or which should not be considered during the analysis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

      \n
      Procedure<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

      Should the penetration test be carried out obviously (extensive log entries are not a problem here, the defence lawyers are in the loop) or covertly?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

      \n
      Starting point<\/h6>\n\n\n\n

      Should the test be carried out from outside, from the DMZ or from inside? Is a separate test network provided?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
