External Network Pen Testing
Identify and exploit vulnerabilities in your external-facing infrastructure from the perspective of a sophisticated attacker
Service Overview
Your external network is your first line of defense against attackers. Our External Network Penetration Testing service identifies vulnerabilities in your internet-facing infrastructure by simulating how real-world adversaries would target your organization.
Our offensive security specialists employ the same techniques as sophisticated attackers to identify, exploit, and document vulnerabilities in your external attack surface. This approach provides an accurate assessment of your security posture and delivers actionable recommendations to strengthen your defenses before real attackers can strike.
Key Features
External attack surface mapping and enumeration
Network vulnerability exploitation
External service configuration review
Perimeter security assessment
Real-world attack simulation
Detailed remediation guidance
Key Benefits
- Identify external security vulnerabilities before attackers
- Understand your organization's attack surface from an attacker's perspective
- Validate security controls and defenses
- Meet regulatory and compliance requirements
- Prioritize security investments based on real risk
Our Methodology
Discovery & Mapping
Comprehensive identification and mapping of all external-facing assets, including domains, subdomains, IP ranges, and exposed services.
Vulnerability Assessment
Thorough evaluation of discovered assets to identify security weaknesses, misconfigurations, and exploitable vulnerabilities.
Exploitation & Post-Exploitation
Safe exploitation of identified vulnerabilities to validate findings and determine potential business impact through controlled post-exploitation activities.
Common Vulnerabilities
Exposed Services
Unnecessary ports and services accessible from the internet that expand your attack surface
Insecure Configurations
Misconfigurations in external-facing systems that could allow unauthorized access
Authentication Weaknesses
Weak or default credentials, insufficient authentication mechanisms, and password policy flaws
Missing Patches
Unpatched systems with known vulnerabilities that attackers actively target
Network Filtering Bypass
Improper network segmentation and filtering that allow unauthorized access to internal systems
TLS/SSL Issues
Deprecated protocols, weak cipher suites, and certificate problems exposing communications to attack
