Protecting your external networks
A company's external infrastructure includes all systems and services accessible on the Internet, such as web servers, e-mail servers, VPNs and other public interfaces. A penetration test of this external infrastructure, also known as external penetration testing, checks these systems for vulnerabilities and security gaps. The aim is to ensure that your external systems are protected against unauthorized access and cyber attacks.
Motivation
The security of your external infrastructure is critical as it is your company's first line of defense against cyber attacks. Vulnerabilities in publicly accessible systems can allow attackers to gain access to sensitive data and internal networks. A successful attack can lead to significant financial losses, reputational damage and legal issues. It is therefore essential to conduct regular security audits to ensure that your external systems are robust and resistant to attack.
What we offer
At rasotec, we offer comprehensive testing of your external infrastructure, tailored specifically to your organization's security needs. Our offering includes testing of the following systems:
- Web applications: We test external web applications for injection vulnerabilities, incorrect authentication and disclosure of sensitive data. In doing so, we enumerate hidden application parts or HTTP paths.
- Email servers: Our experts check your email servers for vulnerabilities that can lead to phishing attacks, spam distribution and data loss. This also includes checking the implementation of security protocols such as SPF, DKIM and DMARC.
- VPNs and other remote access services: We examine your VPNs and other remote access services for vulnerabilities that could allow unauthorized access. This includes testing authentication mechanisms, encryption and access controls.
- Cloud services: We test the configuration of cloud systems on AWS, Google, Azure and co. In doing so, we analyze access rights and the handling of sensitive data (e.g. access keys).
- Public interfaces: We identify and analyze all other publicly accessible services and systems to ensure that there are no unsecured gateways for attackers.
- Cryptography: We check all services for the use of outdated cryptographic methods and protocols. We document weak cipher suites as well as missing encryption, authentication and integrity checks.
Our experienced security experts use a combination of automated tools and manual techniques to obtain a comprehensive picture of the security situation of your external infrastructure.
After the test, you will receive a detailed report that not only highlights the vulnerabilities found, but also recommends specific measures to rectify and improve security.
Protect your company with a professional external infrastructure test from rasotec and minimize the risk of cyberattacks and data loss.
