CyberAnt is an organisation specialising in cybersecurity and offering various services, including penetration testing. During a penetration test, CyberAnt's experts test an organisation's network, systems, and/or applications by attempting to hack them in order to identify vulnerabilities and weak points.

A penetration test can take various forms, depending on the customer's wishes and needs. For instance, a black-box penetration test may be chosen, where the experts have no prior knowledge of the system or application they are trying to hack. In this scenario, the pentester is expected to figure out the best way to hack the system and identify its weak points.

Another option is a white-box penetration test, where experts do have prior knowledge of the system or application. For example, this could be the case when a customer wants to assess the security of a specific part of the system. The pentester can then work more methodically to identify weak points.

During a penetration test, automated tools are used, but CyberAnt's experts also work manually to detect any vulnerabilities. For example, they may try to log in with obtained credentials or use social engineering techniques to gather information that could be used to hack the system.

After the penetration test, CyberAnt will provide a detailed report containing findings and recommendations. This report often distinguishes between critical, high, medium, and low risks, so that the customer knows exactly where to focus attention.

CyberAnt will also explain the report to the customer in a personal follow-up discussion.

It is important to emphasise that a penetration test provides only a snapshot in time. A system that appears secure at the time of the test may become vulnerable a week later due to, for example, a new software update. It is therefore crucial to conduct regular penetration tests to ensure the system's security remains up-to-date.

NetCaptain is a Vulnerability Management solution developed by CyberAnt. NetCaptain helps companies monitor and improve the security of their systems and networks. The goal of NetCaptain is to minimise the attack surface of an organisation by identifying vulnerabilities so that organisations can address them before attackers can exploit them.

NetCaptain works by regularly scanning an organisation's systems and networks to detect vulnerabilities. These scans are conducted using advanced technologies to detect vulnerabilities at different levels, such as operating systems, web applications and mobile applications.

Once vulnerabilities are identified, NetCaptain provides a dashboard displaying the scan results, including an overview of the vulnerabilities and the level of risk. It also offers detailed information on the vulnerabilities, including the cause, impact and recommended solution.

In addition to providing detailed information on vulnerabilities, NetCaptain enables companies to set up automated workflows for prioritising and addressing vulnerabilities. This allows organisations to proactively address vulnerabilities before they are exploited by malicious attackers.

Phishing is one of the most common forms of cybercrime targeting employees of organisations. The goal of phishing is to obtain sensitive information such as usernames and passwords, credit card details, personal information, and other confidential data. Phishing attacks are often carried out through emails but can also occur in the form of phone calls, SMS messages, and social media messages.

Phishing campaigns are designed to raise awareness among an organisation's employees through the simulation of realistic phishing attacks. This is done by creating fake emails that resemble real phishing attacks. The fake emails are then sent to employees within the organisation. The aim is to educate employees on how phishing attacks work and how to protect themselves against them.

A CyberAnt phishing campaign helps organisations test employees' cyber resilience and increase employees' awareness. The service consists of various stages, including planning the campaign, creating fake emails, sending the emails, and reporting the results.

During the campaign planning phase, objectives are established, and it is decided which employees within the organisation will participate in the phishing campaign.

The fake emails are then sent to the selected employees. It is important to send the fake emails at a time when employees can actually open and read them. After sending the emails, the responses from employees are monitored. If employees click on links or enter login details, this is recorded.
