What Type of Pen Test Does Your Start Up Need?

In general, there are two categories of penetration testing or “pen test” that start ups usually require: customer-driven / compliance-driven, OR penetration tests that attempt to exploit people, process or technology with the objective of breaking into the network and gaining access to digital assets.

PENETRATION TESTING FOR A START UP – AN OVERVIEW

The initial phase of a penetration test is to take all the reconnaissance data, enumerated system data and every one of the identified theoretical vulnerabilities and attempt to exploit them the same way a hacker would.  This is the Penetration Test or Pen Test and it is where all those theoretical weaknesses get exercised to see if there is way into the network or web application.  Each pen test is customized to meet the needs of the client.  Whether white-box or black-box, internal or external, wireless or wired…we even perform social engineering tests to see if we can ethically hack into your START UP organization.

Four Key Cyber Security Principles for Start Up Companies

The following four key principles can help guide start ups in taking a more proactive stance in combating malware:

  1. Accept that malware and APTs will breach existing defences.

  2. Treat endpoints as untrusted until proven otherwise.

  3. Trust established in an endpoint is both finite and fleeting.

  4. Validate endpoints as malware free, anytime, anyplace.

Vulnerability Assessments vs. Penetration Tests for Start Ups?

Vulnerability assessments and penetration testing are terms that are used interchangeably but are ultimately different services. In plain terms, a vulnerability assessment is like a thief making a note of all your points of entry and identifying the locks you have in place. Penetration testing, on the other hand, is actually picking the lock and getting inside — but with permission.
