What is a pentest?

Pentests, or penetration tests, are essential security procedures in which specialized pentest providers attempt to penetrate a company’s IT systems to uncover vulnerabilities. These deliberate cyberattacks help to identify potential risks that real attackers could exploit. By finding and fixing these vulnerabilities, companies can strengthen their security architecture and reduce their attack surface.

The different types of pentests

Pentests can be designed in different ways, depending on the objective and scope. The most common types include:

Black box pentest

In which the tester acts without prior knowledge in order to test the effectiveness of the existing security measures.

Gray box pentest

Partial prior knowledge is used to identify specific vulnerabilities and realistically simulate attacks such as credential leaks.

External pentest

Focuses on publicly accessible systems such as websites or external servers.

Internal pentest

The internal network is tested in order to uncover vulnerabilities behind the firewall, true to the motto: the attacker will make it in sooner or later, how secure does the internal network look?

Automated pentest

There are now fully automated solutions for various types of pentests that make it possible to move away from annual pentests to continuous pentests. This is because new vulnerabilities become known almost daily and hackers do not wait a year to attack them the next time.

Managed Pentest as a Service

Our managed pentests perform automated security tests and real hacking attacks to identify potential threats. PtaaS offers a complete solution to increase your security standards – without additional strain on your internal resources or budgets.

Who carries out pentests?

Pentests are usually carried out by external pentest service providers who act as ethical hackers. These experts have extensive knowledge and experience in the field of cyber security and use their skills to uncover vulnerabilities in IT systems. Their independence and objectivity are crucial in identifying blind spots in the company’s security architecture.

Why is a pentest important for companies?

Pentests are crucial for companies for various reasons:

  • Uncovering security vulnerabilities: Pentests are used to identify hidden vulnerabilities in networks that could otherwise remain undetected.

  • Reduction of network downtimes: Early detection and elimination of weak points can reduce downtimes and the associated costs.

  • Compliance with security regulations: Pentests help companies to meet compliance requirements and protect themselves against legal consequences.

  • Maintaining customer trust and improving image: A proactive approach to security promotes customer trust and improves the company’s image.

  • Development of efficient security measures: Pentests make it possible to target security resources where they are needed most.

Structure and procedure: The pentest

The pentest process at accompio is carefully structured to ensure a thorough and effective review of your IT security. Each step of our pentest is designed to uncover the hidden vulnerabilities of your system and provide practical solutions. Our approach enables a comprehensive examination of your IT infrastructure to strengthen your organization’s security and compliance.

Consulting

During the consultation phase, we work with you to define the objectives of the pentest. We determine the focal points and tailor the scope of the audit precisely to your needs. This phase is crucial to ensure that the pentest is targeted at the specific security aspects of your company.

Implementation

During the implementation phase, we scan your internal systems for vulnerabilities and include external systems such as systems accessible from the Internet or demilitarized zones (DMZ) if necessary. Social engineering attacks can also be carried out with regard to the “human factor”. This step is comprehensive and aims to uncover potential security risks.

Analysis

Once the scans have been completed, the analysis phase follows. Here we evaluate the results of the security scans and develop tailored recommendations for specific solutions to effectively eliminate the identified vulnerabilities.

Presentation & Workshop

In the final phase, we present the results and findings in a management presentation and supplement them with a workshop for IT administrators. Here you will receive additional recommendations for action and deeper insights into the identified vulnerabilities and their elimination.

FAQs about Pentest

A pentest, or penetration test, is a method of assessing the security of IT systems by simulating attacks in order to identify and eliminate vulnerabilities.

Vulnerability scans are automated processes that identify known vulnerabilities. Pentests go deeper by proving whether and how these vulnerabilities can be exploited.

The duration varies, usually a comprehensive pentest takes about five days, depending on the complexity and scope.

After the pentest, the results are analyzed to implement security upgrades and fix any vulnerabilities discovered.

Pentests are useful when introducing new applications, expanding the IT infrastructure or as part of a regular security check.

Regular pentests are recommended, especially after major changes to the IT infrastructure, in order to continuously close security gaps. Modern solutions even enable fully automated infrastructure and AD pentests that can be carried out monthly or quarterly, for example.
