External Network Penetration Testing

Our external network penetration testing services proactively exposes vulnerabilities in your external network infrastructure and enables efficient remediation.

External Network Penetration Testing for Comprehensive Cybersecurity

The majority of cyberattacks targeting your environment will focus on the outside of your networked environment – these are remote attacks designed to provide an external attacker the means to gain access to your computing assets. Most researchers agree that cyberattacks are continuing to rise in frequency, sophistication, and impact. Any organization with an online presence is a target of both opportunistic attacks and targeted attacks.

To make you a victim, a cyber attacker must find a way to disrupt your environment and get a foothold in one of your systems via an attack. These attacks are often complex, and include multiple stages and targets within the organization. Unfortunately, as organizations offer more on-line services they are often increasing their digital footprint, and increasing their potential exposure. With organizations facing challenges of falling budgets and staffing shortages, that chances of a breach that can expose your sensitive data are only rising.

Evolve Security’s external network penetration testing services are designed to help you proactively identify potential exposures of which an attacker can take advantage. This includes problems like vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, exposed external assets, and also includes evaluation of the effectiveness of your existing security controls by determining which tests you detected. Evolve Security provide information to help you identify, prioritize, remediate, manage, and report on the associated vulnerabilities. Evolve Security maximizes the effectiveness of this service by providing you with results in our Darwin Attack® portal as the test progresses. Evolve Security ensures you have details that enable you to conduct proactive remediation, reducing the exploitable vulnerabilities in your environment, enhancing your control and security, improving compliance, and reducing risk.
