Pentest and What It Entails

A pentest is the ideal starting point for upgrading your cybersecurity. Through a penetration test, DeepBlue investigates whether, and if so, how (malicious) external parties can access your network or application. We try to infiltrate the system to identify its weak points. There are different strategies for conducting a penetration test. DeepBlue conducts the tests in close consultation with you with 0% prior knowledge (black box), 50% prior knowledge (grey box), or 100% knowledge of the task (white box). We clearly define the scope, approach, and objectives of the penetration test beforehand for optimal results.

Weaknesses in the Security of Your Network

In practice, we exploit potential weaknesses in the security of your network to gain access to underlying systems or information. We literally break in. DeepBlue's specialists use self-developed and highly intelligent tools for this purpose. The results of our intrusion attempts lead to new detection attempts and are included in the analysis phase. Through a penetration test, we can also investigate the likelihood of abuse by unauthorised persons, such as former employees or other external parties acting against your interests. Subsequently, you can proactively take measures to enhance your security if necessary.

DeepBlue's Pentest Goes Beyond Just a Scan

There are plenty of companies offering penetration tests, but often they do not go beyond automated scans. These scans reveal error messages that they incorporate into a report. This is valuable information, but we can offer you much more. The power of a good test lies precisely in manual work. Our certified specialists - ethical hackers - manually verify the findings of scans and attempt to exploit any weaknesses manually, just as a real hacker would. In other words, DeepBlue sees pentesting not only as scanning but as manual work, providing the extra service necessary to deliver quality and gain control over your data security. Therefore, it is always recommended to perform a pentest, but if you truly want to elevate your security to a higher level, DeepBlue is your best choice!
