Black Box vs. Grey Box Penetration Testing
In the cybersecurity landscape, penetration testing is a critical component of an organization’s security framework. Among the various types of penetration testing, Black Box and
Penetration testing, often referred to as pen testing, is a simulated cyber attack on your systems and networks to identify vulnerabilities and security weaknesses before malicious hackers can exploit them.
Vulnerability scanning is an automated process designed to detect known vulnerabilities in systems and applications. It can be scheduled as an ongoing task for continuous monitoring. Penetration testing, however, is a more in-depth, manual assessment conducted at a specific point in time. It simulates real-world attack scenarios to uncover both known and previously unidentified vulnerabilities.
We follow industry-leading standards including the OWASP Testing Guide, Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES), and NIST SP 800-115 to ensure thorough and up-to-date testing methodologies.
We offer Pen Testing & VM services across all cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean, Oracle, etc), hybrid environments, and on-site/collocation data centers.
