Infrastructure Security Testing
- Infrastructure security testing involves conducting an assessment of network security and identifying vulnerabilities in computer systems, network devices or IP address ranges that could be exploited. This type of testing is commonly known as a penetration test. Pentest and it is essential to perform both internal and external tests within an organization.
- During the testing process any vulnerabilities discovered are reported to the system owner along with recommendations for addressing them. By conducting infrastructure testing organizations can assess their ability to respond to security threats effectively and determine their compliance with security policies.
- External Penetration Testing entails assessing security services accessible via the Internet remotely. On the hand Internal Penetration Testing involves evaluating vulnerabilities within internal hardware or network IP ranges by connecting to the organizations internal network.
- Through vulnerability assessments and infrastructure penetration tests organizations can ensure that their systems are configured according to security practices and do not contain any widespread or well known vulnerabilities at the time of testing.
- In addition to infrastructure testing there is a growing emphasis, on cloud security testing services to evaluate and enhance the security of cloud based infrastructures.Cloud security services play a role in setting up secure cloud environments and addressing any potential vulnerabilities to enhance overall security measures. Conducting infrastructure security testing offers benefits, such as minimizing the risk of cyberattacks avoiding extra costs and damage to reputation due to security breaches. It serves as a demonstration that your organization adheres to industry security standards fostering trust and credibility, with both clients and investors.
