Penetration testing services are designed to emulate real-world attacks against your network, people and systems to identify and uncover critical issues within your organization’s control structure. Our seasoned team of adversarial emulation consultants and white-hat hackers will use advanced tactics, techniques and procedures to put your organization to the test.
By knowing the vulnerabilities in your environment, you can make informed decisions about mitigating and monitoring associated risks. Our penetration testing process will not just help your organization become more secure, it will improve the capabilities of your team.
Our penetration testing service follows the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES), widely accepted and adopted as a best practice in the industry. One of the key benefits of our approach is that we bring flexibility to best meet our clients’ needs.
Our penetration testing process is designed not only to help your organization improve your cybersecurity posture but also to ensure compliance with standards requiring penetration testing (e.g., CMMC, HIPAA, HITRUST, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, FFIEC, NCUA, GLBA, FISMA, SOC2 and more).
We use a standardized process/methodology that is broadly recognized and adopted within the security testing community:
In this phase, we'll confirm timing, objectives, scope, and agree on allowable activities, while assessing threat intelligence to tailor our tactics to potential threats.
Intelligence Gathering involves collecting information about your organization for use in future penetration testing. We conduct Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) to identify potential entry points, including physical, electronic, and human.
This process helps engineers emulate attackers tools, techniques, capabilities, and profiles. We focus on testing your organization's cyber resilience against relevant controls, processes, and infrastructure, not a random IT inventory.
Aims to identify flaws in your systems, applications, physical infrastructure, or human capabilities. These vulnerabilities will be used by our testing team later and can include misconfigurations, insecure designs, weak physical controls, or poor social engineering training.
It focuses on gaining access to systems or resources by bypassing security. It builds on previous phases and should be executed precisely to identify key entry points and high-value targets. We assess each attack vector for success probability and impact. The main challenge is finding the least detectable path into the organization while maximizing potential impact.
This phase aims to assess the value of a compromised asset and maintain control for later use. Our engineers identify and document sensitive data, settings, communication channels, and relationships with other devices to gain further access and meet objectives.
A successful engagement results in actionable findings and analysis. We will collaborate with you throughout the process to ensure this. We take great pride in our deliverables and will provide you with the following:
• Executive Summary.
• Detailed Report.
• Threat Intelligence Report.
• Recommendations.
• Executive Summary Presentation.
A successful engagement results in actionable findings and analysis. We will collaborate with you throughout the process to ensure this. We take great pride in our deliverables and will provide you with the following:
Summarizes the scope of the assessment, primary strengths, major areas for improvement, and notable recommendations.
Highlights the strengths your organization exhibited during testing and includes a graphical overview of our attack paths and discovered root causes.
The detailed section of the report also contains actionable recommendations for closing observations.
“We used Echelon Risk + Cyber for the first time to do our penetration testing this year. The experience was great as the team worked with our tight timelines and provided a thorough breakdown of what they would be doing and how long it would take. Any questions we had were answered promptly and there were no delays in the process. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a partner to perform their penetration testing.”
“Echelon Cyber has been an incredible partner from our very first implementation of a comprehensive security program to our recurring penetration test. From the start, the team has engendered trust, professionalism, and most importantly a spirit of true partnership to always help enhance our security posture. Absolutely recommend these folks for your needs!”
