Penetration Testing
At OCD Tech, we help safeguard your business by simulating real-world attacks on your systems. Our penetration testing, also known as “ethical hacking,” involves acting like hackers trying to break into your network, identifying weaknesses before malicious actors do. We examine your environment for vulnerabilities—such as weak passwords or outdated software—and try to exploit these issues to show just how far a real hacker could get. This helps uncover potential risks, like gaining unauthorized access to sensitive data. Unlike simple vulnerability scans that just list problems, penetration testing demonstrates the real-world impact of those vulnerabilities. Our goal is to help you strengthen your defenses, so you can protect your business and customer information. The exact details of the test are tailored to your needs, ensuring we’re focusing on what matters most to your company.
Methodology
The methodology presented below is broad, and a carefully defined scope will drive the actual components of the test. The penetration test, in general, includes the following components:
Leverage sources of Open Source Intelligence to collect information about the organization and its employees.
Characterize the target network and target systems to identify potentially exploitable vulnerabilities or misconfigurations.
Target end-users in an attempt to recover sensitive information or install malicious software. This can take several forms.
Gain unauthorized access to target systems.
Use the newly established foothold to gather information specific to the level of privilege gained that was previously not available.
Gain administrator-level access to target systems.
Leverage collected data to move throughout the network, with a focus on obtaining access to critical systems.
Depending on the scope of the test, ensure that compromised systems may be accessed throughout the test.
Depending on the scope of the test, ensure that all traces of attacker activity are removed.
Compile all information gathered during the penetration test for management.
