Your Questions, Answered. Dive into our most commonly asked queries about cybersecurity and our penetration testing.

How Can I Tell a Real Pen Test from a Fake?

There are a lot of companies selling penetration tests (pen tests), but how do you know if what you are getting is a real pen test? When it’s something that’s less tangible than, say, getting an oil change, it can be hard to determine if what you are purchasing is what you need.

What is Penetration Testing?

Penetration testing is a targeted manual approach to identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in an organization. Depending on the scope, this could include their wireless infrastructure, web applications, internal and external networks, personnel (e.g., social engineering campaigns), physical security, mobile devices, and source code.

What is a Security Risk Assessment and why is it so Important?

In simpler terms, a risk analyst will go over a company’s policies and procedures. They will also determine if there is a security awareness training program and certain safeguards are in place, such as encryption and log monitoring.

Cybersecurity Partners are Important, But Why?

Social Engineering Testing and a Security Risk Assessments with a skilled cybersecurity partner are two very important things you can perform to help keep your network safe.
