Overview
Your infrastructure components, servers, network devices, and endpoints often contain hidden vulnerabilities due to misconfigurations, outdated software, or weak policies. Attackers exploiting these can gain unauthorized access, disrupt services, or move laterally within your network.
Our Infrastructure Penetration Testing service thoroughly evaluates your infrastructure’s security posture by simulating real-world attacks aimed at uncovering misconfigurations, outdated software, and weak defenses before adversaries exploit them.
Infrastructure
Network Discovery
Identify live hosts, open ports, services, and devices across the infrastructure.
Vulnerability Assessment
Detect known vulnerabilities, missing patches, and misconfigurations.
Password & Credential Testing
Identify weak, default, or reused credentials across systems and services.
Exploit Attempts
Safely exploit validated weaknesses to demonstrate real-world risk.
Privilege Escalation
Escalate access to administrative accounts or critical systems.
Persistence & Lateral Movement
Simulate attacker techniques to maintain access and move within the network.
Critical Asset Exposure
Identify sensitive data, management interfaces, and high-value targets.
Configuration Issues
Review system, device, and policy configurations for security flaws.
What you will get
Deliverables that keep every stakeholder aligned
We deliver more than raw findings: you receive a complete package that leadership, engineers, and auditors can all act on immediately.
Reporting package
Evidence-rich documentation for executives and technical teams.
Executive summary that explains business impact, key risks, and the
narrative behind the assessment.
Vulnerability summary with grouped issues, risk owners, severity,
and time-to-fix guidance.
Technical analysis that includes screenshots, observations, attack
flow notes, and proof-of-exploitation where appropriate.
Metrics & scoring covering CVSS, likelihood/impact rationales,
and remediation priority to unblock quick decisions.
Remediation toolkit
Clear next steps, mapped to the people fixing the issues.
Excel remediation tracker that consolidates every vulnerability with
owners, status, due dates, and comments so progress is easy to measure.
Prioritized backlog with quick wins, blocked items, and prerequisites
highlighted to reduce remediation friction.
Restitution meeting to walk through findings live, align on
fixes, and answer engineer questions while the context is fresh.
Optional retest to validate patches and refresh CVSS scores so the
final report reflects your latest posture.
Where this service excels
Recent scenarios our team solved
Real-world stories that mirror the way customers deploy, defend, and recover.
Manufacturing
Legacy SMB exposure in flat networks
Identified unpatched file servers reachable from guest Wi‑Fi segments.
Outcome
Segmented network zones, disabled SMBv1, and added NAC policies for unmanaged devices.
Financial Services
Domain admin via printer spooler attacks
Exploited PrintNightmare in a lightly monitored branch office domain.
Outcome
Patched GPO baselines, restricted printer RPC, and deployed just-in-time admin workflows.
Energy
VPN credential stuffing
Simulated password spraying against exposed VPN gateways lacking MFA enforcement.
Outcome
Enabled MFA for all remote access, added adaptive lockouts, and tuned SIEM detections.
Testing Methodology
1
Scoping & Kick-off
Define the project’s objectives, scope, and constraints, aligning expectations, testing approach, and deliverables during a structured kick-off meeting.
2
Reconnaissance
Collect passive and active information about network architecture, hardware, operating systems, services, and external-facing assets to map the infrastructure landscape and uncover potential entry points.
3
Threat Modeling
Analyze gathered data to identify likely attack paths, critical servers (e.g., perimeter firewalls, VPN gateways), and high-value targets (e.g., databases, application servers). Prioritize based on business impact and ease of exploitation.
4
Vulnerability Analysis
Use automated tools to scan for known vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in network devices, operating systems, and applications, followed by manual verification to confirm findings and rank them by exploitability.
5
Exploitation & Initial Access
Safely exploit validated vulnerabilities to demonstrate realistic access scenarios such as open ports, unpatched services, or weak credentials to gain initial access to systems without disrupting operations.
6
Post-Exploitation & Lateral Movement
Assess the extent of access achieved by demonstrating lateral movement between hosts, privilege escalation to administrative accounts, and potential data exfiltration paths. Demonstrate persistence techniques applicable to infrastructure components.
7
Reporting & Debrief
Produce a comprehensive report containing an executive summary, scope, methodology, prioritized findings with evidence/PoCs, business impact, risk ratings, and actionable remediation, and present the results during a restitution meeting.
8
Retest (Optional)
Ensure all identified vulnerabilities have been properly fixed without introducing new risks.
FAQ
- Confirmed scope, targets, and testing windows.
- Necessary approvals and credentials for authenticated testing.
- Network diagrams, asset inventories, or architecture documentation if available.
- Whitelist our IPs and accounts where needed for uninterrupted testing.
Weaknesses within a network can be exploited by insiders or unauthorized actors to move laterally, access sensitive data, or disrupt operations. This service simulates those real-world scenarios to find and fix vulnerabilities before they are weaponized.
Our tests are designed to be safe and non-destructive. If performed in production, we coordinate testing windows to reduce any potential impact. Disruptive actions are always validated and approved beforehand.
Typically between 5 and 15 business days, depending on environment size and complexity. Smaller infrastructures can be covered in 5–7 days, while larger multi-segment or hybrid environments may extend to 15 days or more.
