Frequently Asked Questions
Our External Network Penetration Testing covers the entire external digital footprint of your organization. This includes your external network infrastructure, email/DNS configurations, and any publicly leaked Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
Email/DNS configurations and leaked PII can often be overlooked areas of vulnerability. Misconfigured email or DNS settings can expose your organization to cyber threats such as phishing attacks, while publicly leaked PII can be exploited for identity theft or other malicious purposes.
As a general rule, it’s advisable to conduct an External Network Penetration Test at least once a year. However, more frequent tests might be required depending on changes to your network, after deploying new infrastructure or applications, or due to specific industry regulations.
Our Penetration Testing is designed to be as non-disruptive as possible. We conduct the tests in a controlled manner, ensuring normal business operations continue without significant interruption.
Once you receive the Penetration Test report, it’s essential to review the identified vulnerabilities and take the necessary steps to address them. Our team will provide detailed recommendations for remediation and is available for further support if needed.
