Gain Visibility Over Your External Threats
Cybra offers a full suite of external penetration testing services in Australia.
What is an external pentest?
An external pentest is the ethical hacking of an organisation’s internet-facing networks and systems to identify security risks.
The test emulates an internet-based attacker and utilises current attack techniques and methods.
External pentest pricing
External pentests are typically cheaper in price compared to testing internal networks or applications, as there are generally fewer systems connected to the internet with a smaller attack surface.
Dangers of external pentests
All penetration testing has a chance of adversely affecting systems, but this is very rare. All systems and networks should have adequate bandwidth and system resources before commencing.
Benefits of external pentests
The assessment identifies security gaps and vulnerabilities in internet-facing systems so the customer can remediate them before they are exploited by a malicious actor.
What systems can be tested?
Any service connected to the internet can be tested, including but not limited to VPNs, email servers, firewalls, routers, web servers, and FTP servers.
Out of scope
Unless required by the customer, Denial of Service (DoS) is strictly out of scope for external penetration testing.
