Infrastructure Penetration Testing

LACHANIS offer consultant-led Infrastructure Penetration Testing to provide a thorough and independent examination of your corporate infrastructure and systems to identify software and configuration based security vulnerabilities.

There are two components to delivering Infrastructure Penetration Testing and these are Internal and External assessments. It is commonplace to combine these into a single test that covers both the internal and external components of the network.

Infrastructure Penetration Testing can be performed Internally within your corporate network or Externally over the Internet:

Internal Penetration Test

An Internal Penetration Test is performed by a qualified LACHANIS security consultant who is onsite within your corporate network.

This type of assessment looks for security issues and vulnerabilities on the inside of your corporate network with the same physical access as a member of staff or other types of employee who has access to the building.

This assessment provides a very comprehensive view of the configuration of your corporate network devices and servers from a security viewpoint of an insider, connected to your network.

External Penetration Test

An External Penetration Test is performed by a LACHANIS security consultant whilst remote from your corporate network.

This type of assessment is concerned with assessing the external, Internet-facing infrastructure of your corporate network. This could be your Firewall, VPN endpoints, Web Servers and Mail Servers etc..

The level of access to these resources would be the same as an external hacker trying to break into your corporate environment so this assessment provides you with a real risk indicator as to your external security posture.
