External Penetration Test

Attackers are always looking for systems they can get into, and every new technology or employee adds to what they can see. A CoNetrix External Penetration Test shows you what an outsider can find and what they could do with it, before someone with bad intentions does.

SEC-ExternalPenTest

Attacker’s View, Clear Answers

We test your internet-facing systems the way an adversary would. We map what’s exposed, check for weaknesses and configuration problems, and where it makes sense, exploit them to show the real risk. Our engineers review and validate every result by hand, so you aren’t left sorting through automated scan output.

Then we make the results easy to act on. Reports sort findings by risk, include specific recommendations for fixing each one, and come with a personal review by a security expert. After the test, you can call us with questions about findings or upcoming regulatory exams.

Service Features

Our standard engagement is an annual External Penetration Test with quarterly Internet Exposure and Vulnerability Assessments, so you’re covered between full tests. Organizations with more exposure or frequent changes can test more often. Every engagement can be adjusted to fit your size and complexity, and you can add coverage for areas like social engineering or systems hosted by vendors and cloud providers. Our engineers hold certifications such as CISSP, CRISC, CISM, and CISA.
