Striking the right balance between cyber risk and security is a challenge for most businesses. This challenge is tough to understand, let alone meet if the vulnerable paths a skilled hacker will move through in your IT/OT landscape are not known. To deal with this challenge you need a trustworthy cybersecurity professional with a hacker’s skills.
Penetration test types
When performing penetration tests, there are three principal approaches, each with its own unique benefits and constraints.
Simulates an external attack with no prior knowledge, focusing on vulnerabilities visible from outside the system.
Provides limited knowledge of the system, balancing depth and efficiency.
Involves full access to source code, offering comprehensive testing.
The choice of penetration testing approach depends on the specific context, goals, and constraints of the assessment. Each method has its place in ensuring robust security.

An understanding of your IT landscape, e.g., domain, network structure, services running, open firewall ports, etc.
Identification and evaluation of common and uncommon threats to a web page, system, or application based on recognized industry standards, e.g., the key security risks in web applications as outlined in the “OWASP TOP 10” list.
An understanding of what the effect would be of executing relevant malicious software/code (so-called “exploits” or “Proof of Concept”) on your critical processes/data.
An analysis/assessment of the impact the relevant malicious software/code can have on the critical processes/data identified in terms of confidentiality, integrity, and availability loss.
The findings, conclusions and recommendations of the pentest, both in a condensed executive summary and in a comprehensive report.
