Pentesting

You have questions. wE have answers.

Cybra’s vast penetration testing portfolio covers all corporate and enterprise grade systems, networks and applications. Our consultants are not only certified with globally recognised certifications, but have decades of experience consulting in all business verticals and industries, allowing us to use our experience to provide you unrivalled customer service and tailored services to meet your specific security requirements.

Web Application Penetration Test

We perform web application penetration testing against all types of websites. The goal of a web application pentest is to assess the security controls deployed to protect your application, and if those controls are sufficient in meeting your risk appetite.
Some examples of why you might need a web application pentest:

1) You run an eCommerce site and accept customer credit card information, meaning you require annual penetration testing under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS);

2) You are developing a new application that will be released into production, and want to identify any security risks before go-live so that your team can remediate any vulnerabilities;

3) You are concerned that your site may be vulnerable to being hacked, and want visibility into your current level risk so you can apply appropriate security controls;

4) You are concerned that your site or customer data may have been breached, and required ethical hacking services to help identify if a breach has, or will occur;

5) You practice good security hygiene  and like your systems to be as secure as practical.

Internet Perimeter Penetration Test

An organisation’s Internet-perimeter is defined by an organisation’s (or network environment) external network, residing outside of your firewall. The Internet-perimeter consists of your publicly allocated and routable IP addresses and typically made up of firewall interfaces, VPN interfaces, DMZ websites, E-Mail, NAT’d services.

There are several benefits to undertaking an Internet-perimeter (or external) pentest, including:

1) Identifying which network services are being exposed to the Internet. E.g., have assurance that the firewall is not misconfigured and unnecessary or vulnerable services are being exposed to attack;

2) Get visibility on what your network is exposing to the Internet, and analysis of how secure those services are and if you are at risk of being compromised by a remote threat actor.

3) To meet compliance obligations. Many international standards, such as PCI DSS require annual external penetration testing in order for you to remain compliant;

4) You practice good security hygiene and like your systems to be as secure as practical.




Internal Network Penetration Test

An internal network is typically the nerve centre for an organisation’s information systems. An internal network consists of staff workstations, servers, corporate systems and applications, network devices, voice systems and more. Many organisations invest heavily in securing their Internet-perimeter but often overlook securing their internal network and systems. Internal networks are becoming easier to compromise by attackers due to social engineering attacks such as phishing. If a staff member clicks on a malicious email, your perimeter firewall may be bypassed completely and now an attacker has a foothold inside your network.

Some benefits to conduct an Internal Network Penetration Test include:

1) Get visibility to your organisation’s risks and vulnerabilities;

2) Validate if your security controls are working, such as effective vulnerability and patch management;

3) Get a clear understanding of where your security gaps in your network are so they can be patched before they are breached.



Mobile Application Penetration Test

The huge surge in mobile applications and smart phone usage has introduced a new breed of threats to an organisation. Like web applications, mobile applications often hold private and sensitive information, and have backend access to application and database servers. You may like to conduct a Mobile Application Penetration Test if:

1) You are developing a new mobile application and require security testing to ensure no vulnerabilities exist before being released to the public;

2) You are an organisation that is looking to purchase a software product that includes a mobile application that can be used by staff, and you want to assess if it’s introduction into your environment will pose any risks.


Cloud Penetration Test

Many organisation’s are moving applications, systems and infrastructures to the cloud. With this mass adoption comes a new breed of security risk. A cloud penetration test in general terms is the same as traditional penetration tests, just moved from your on-prem environment to your cloud infrastructure.  Cloud pentests can include:

1) Assessing the security controls deployed on SaaS solutions, such as E-Mail and Directory services, MFA, Access and authorisation controls;

2) Infrastructure level testing to ensure firewall rules, services, access controls have been configured securely;

3) Internal penetration testing of hosts/containers residing within your cloud environment through remote access or virtual machines.

Wireless Network Penetration Test

Wireless networks have often been the weak point in many organisation’s security, as convenience has often been the selling point over security. Due to wireless network signals often extended outside of your building walls, an attacker has the luxury and time to attack your network without fear of being caught. There are numerous ways an attacker can compromise your organisation through your Wi-Fi network, including encryption attacks, hijacking, spoofing and impersonation. Cybra will perform thorough security assessment of your wireless networks to ensure your network is not at risk of compromise.

Physical Penetration Test

Physical Penetration Tests are customisable engagements aimed at assessing the security controls of your physical office, building or facilities. Cybra will perform checks that include physical access point security (doors, windows, censors, man-traps, locks, alarms), security protocols are being followed (receptionist requires signing in with ID, guest badges are enforced, staff don’t open the door for strangers or allow tail-gating), staff challenging suspicious behaviour, sensitive areas being inaccessible, workstations and laptops being locked, network access is not exposed in unsecured areas, and more. We can also perform scenario tests that specifically target areas of your organisation offering you a thorough and detailed report documenting all risks and remediation advice.

Experience

We Have experience working with all industries.

Cybra’s vast service portfolio covers all corporate and enterprise grade systems, networks and applications. Our consultants are not only certified with globally recognised certifications, but have decades of experience consulting in all business verticals and industries, allowing us to use our experience to provide you unrivalled customer service and tailored services to meet your specific security requirements.

Education

Education remains a prime target to cybercriminals due to the private data that many schools and learning centres are custodians of. Education is often under-resourced and faces uphill battles when trying to maintain a strong cyber security posture against new and emerging threats.

We have vast experience in working with Education providers and understanding their specific needs and requirements when it comes to protecting their student and staff information.

Government

Government, particularly local governments and councils, face a multitude of challenges when protecting their assets from cybercriminals. This tends to stem from diverse architectures and systems, legacy applications, changing regulations and compliance and lack of budget.

We have worked extensively with local governments over the years and have a solid understanding of how they work, what they are trying to protect and what outcomes are desirable.

The most popular service we offer with government clients is penetration testing of external internet-connected infrastructure and websites.

Retail

Attackers can be opportunistic shoppers — and in the retail industry, they see a potentially vulnerable target. Countless big-name retailers have been hit by data breaches, including Macy’s, Home Depot, CVS, Kay Jewelers, Best Buy, Target and more. The retail sector is a top target for cybercriminals, especially as growing pressure from eCommerce giants forces more and more retail transactions online.

We have performed penetration testing over retail shopping websites, mobile applications and cloud deployments. We have also performed penetration testing designed to satisfy PCI DSS compliance.

Finance / Banking

The finance industry is always at the coal-face of cybersecurity, providing the most alluring target to would-be attackers. Due to the importance of protecting customer’s data and money, the finance industry is required to abide by some of the strictest regulations and compliance obligations.

We have performed penetration testing of banking infrastructure (internal and external) and of banking mobile applications.

Critical Infrastructure

Critical infrastructure, such as power and electricity, is becoming a hot-button cybersecurity topic due to the interconnected nature of new ICS and SCADA infrastructures worldwide.

Attacks on critical infrastructure, industrial espionage, phishing emails and drive-by downloads are just a few of the tactics employed by cybercriminals that can lead to defective products, production downtime, physical damage, injuries and death, the loss of sensitive information and more.

The manufacturing industry is an especially attractive target for cybercriminals for several reasons, including:

* Legacy equipment or industrial IoT devices that were not necessarily put in place with security in mind

• Gaps between IT and operations technology

• Lack of documented training, processes and procedures a

• Failure to conduct adequate risk assessments

The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the greatest potential weak spots for manufacturers when it comes to cybersecurity. While they gain efficiencies and improve production processes with connected devices and intelligent machinery, the IoT exposes manufacturers to a network easily infiltrated by those looking to do harm.

We have performed penetration testing of critical infrastructure networks, including secure network segmentation testing.

Healthcare

Like the government, health care organisations are privy to a plethora of sensitive information. And like the government, many organizations are not adequately protecting that data. Millions of patients have had access to private records compromised in an ongoing series of costly and high-profile data breaches. The health care industry also has suffered considerably more than other industries when faced with ransomware attacks.

Health care organisations have been a frequent target of cyber-attacks for two primary reasons, the high value of data that these organisations possess and the ease with which hackers are able to access this data. Data gleaned from insecure systems is then sold on the black market, where cybercriminals purchase and sell personal data for a multitude of purposes including espionage and identity fraud.
