Network security is a serious cause for concern in the mind of any business owner, especially nowadays, when cybercrime is rampant and hackers scour the internet, looking for exploitable vulnerabilities in computer networks. That is why you need to make sure that your company network resembles nothing short of a fortress, in terms of security rating.

However, merely hiring a team of IT professionals to set up a secure network may not be enough. Even the best setups may have hidden vulnerabilities that hackers can identify and exploit to gain access to your sensitive business data. That is why you need a team of experienced network penetration testers (also known as pen-testers), who can simulate actual attack scenarios to pinpoint vulnerabilities in your company network. Once those security loopholes are exposed, plugging those up is just a matter of hours.

The network penetration testing (NPT) package offered by WSC includes the following services:

Network Protocol Vulnerability Testing

Are there unnecessary network protocols kept open in your router or firewall? Or are there more ports kept open than the ones you actually require? Hackers are always on the lookout for ports which are open, but not being used. The more of such ports you manage to seal off, the greater will be your chance of protecting your network from malicious intrusions. Besides, even network protocols being used may have glitches or loopholes in them that hackers can exploit. As you fix those glitches following comprehensive penetration test (or in other words, pen-test), hackers will have a harder time getting into your network.

AI Simulation of Attack Scenarios

In order for a security system to work properly, it needs to work on a practical level as much as on theoretical. No matter how powerful your security system may seem to be, unless it can stand up to real attacks from real hackers, it is of no use. The experienced professionals of the network penetration testing team in WSC use advanced artificial intelligence to simulate actual attack scenarios and evaluate how effective your security systems are in combating those. This will help you understand which sections in your network security system need to be improved.

Elimination of Vulnerabilities against Automated Scripts

Most hackers of nowadays like to use automated scripts to make hacking into network systems hassle-free. The network penetration testing team from WSC has experts on board who are used to creating preventive measures against such hacking attempts.

Comprehensive Coverage of Vulnerabilities

SANS, a global organization for identifying dangerous security threats worldwide, builds a list of top 20 major threats every year. The team of network security professionals from WSC uses the updated version of this list, to make sure that your network stays secured against the newest threats that have popped up recently.

Flexible Compliance Reporting

Which kind of report do you need from the network penetration testing team? Do you simply need a bare bone account of which tasks they have performed, or do you want detailed explanations of which kinds of vulnerabilities were present in your network, and how the professionals managed to plug those loopholes? Simply ask for the kind of report you need, and you shall receive it as soon as the testing sessions are completed.
