We've recently conducted a comprehensive series of thorough penetration tests, covering both internal and external environments.

This extensive pentest series was carried out by a team of ethical hackers who utilized the latest techniques and methods to assess our security. In a time where cyber threats continue to evolve at an alarming pace, protecting our digital assets is of utmost importance. That's why we take proactive measures to strengthen our defense, ensuring we remain resilient against potential attacks.

Our goal is also to align as much as possible with existing standards such as those outlined in ISO27001.

Why Pentesting?

Pentesting (short for penetration testing) is an integral part of a strategic approach to examine systems, networks, and applications for vulnerabilities that malicious actors could exploit.

By simulating real cyber attacks, we gain invaluable insights into our own security posture. The outcomes of these simulations allow us to proactively address vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by malicious actors.

Regularly conducting pentests provides several other benefits:

Evaluating current security measures: We can better assess the effectiveness of our current security measures in practice and identify any potential gaps.

Increasing awareness: Pentests help raise awareness of potential threats and how to handle them, contributing to an overall improvement in our security culture.

Compliance with regulations and standards: Conducting pentests is often a requirement to comply with cybersecurity regulations and standards (such as ISO27001).

Turning Insights into Action:
Pentesting isn't just about identifying vulnerabilities; it's primarily about taking structured action to mitigate risks, and then continuously monitoring the effectiveness of those follow-up actions and intervening as needed.

In summary, we've also developed policies and protocols to ensure that pentest results are translated into concrete improvement actions.

Pentesting should not be a one-time action; it should be a regular part of a set of recurring actions aimed at keeping us well-informed about our security posture.
