Software is prone to hacker attacks; hence, the security system should be up-to-date and given top priority. Information stealing is very natural when an intruder finds weak points and loopholes in the security, leading to fatal consequences. To mitigate such risks, penetration testing must be done.

KRCMIC provides penetration testing services to fend off potential attacks and solidify your security walls against such skillful hackers. Our services include a detailed customized plan of a multistage breach that targets system framework and applications.

When Do You Need Penetration Testing?

Our recommendation is to carry out a penetration test if:

• Regulatory authorities require regular pre-scheduled evaluations.
• New system frameworks or applications are incorporated.
• Important upgrades or changes are made to the application or system.
• Office premises are changed or built.
• End-user protocols are updated.
• The company’s IT team is changed.

ETHICAL HACKING TO PREVENT A POSSIBLE BREACH

• A comprehensive penetration test is designed to detect the system’s weak points, strengthen current security commands, and offer a report of possible corrective measures.
• Our technical team works with the latest industrial-standard testing tools to get the best results. A detailed evaluation is done to check:
  • Vulnerabilities and defects in the application, OS, and service.
  • Loopholes and errors in programs and configurations.
  • Possible disagreements to protection policies.

Types of penetration tests:

• Remote access security test
• Network services test
• Client-side security test
• Social engineering test
• Web application security test
• Physical security test

Penetration Testing Techniques

Black Box testing

This testing is done in real-life conditions with limited or no information. The black box denotes the test being done blindly having low or no knowledge of network, protection protocols, infrastructure, and software.

Gray Box testing

During the test, system network information like user credentials, architecture design, or the overall framework is known.

White Box Testing

In this testing technique, all sorts of information are known based on which possible vulnerabilities are detected. The information includes administrator credentials and access rights of database encryption principles, architecture designs, configuration files, or source code.

STEPS WE TAKE IN A PENETRATION TEST

1. Pre-attack phase / Planning

• Determining intruder version i.e., internal or external, and set its rights and liberties.
• Determine objectives, the scope of work, source data, and test targets.
• Define the scope of a target area.
• Design the test procedure.
• Define communication plan.

  2. Attack phase / Testing

• Service identification and Fieldwork.
• If needed, detection or breaching tools are customized.
• Survey and detect defects, remove false positives.
• Manipulate weaknesses and get an unaccredited entry.
• Taking advantage of the free reign in the compromised system and explore further.

  3. Post-attack Phase / Reporting

• Draw an analysis report and recommendation list for risk reduction.
• Visual presentation of the possible damages and their effects, in the case of a real hacker.

At KRCMIC, we also offer additional fault elimination services.

DELIVERABLES

After successful execution of the penetration test, a considerable set of reports is shared with customers. The reports consist of detailed results and recommendations for the successful removal of discovered breach points.

• A short explanation of the accomplished findings.
• A tabular record of discovered vulnerabilities categorized based on ease of exploitation and danger.
• A log indicating the modifications applied to the system during the test.
• Details of all the test protocols such as tools and instruments used, a list of all the scanned areas, and any issues detected.
• Possible suggestions to remove the discovered security issues.
