Network Testing

Network Penetration Testing keeps you aware of your weaknesses. At Digital Forge, we work to identify and remedy these points of access to optimize your network security.

Key Access Points We Look for in

Network
Penetration

Passwords

Are password security features enabled such as 2FA and is password saving options turned off unless through a secured application such as OneLogin.

Servers

Starting from the basics of password protected servers, up through full encryption, assuring the server access is limited to the correct persons.

IDS/IPS

Intrusion Detection or Intrusion Protection Systems prevent cyberattacks by analyzing traffic for signatures of known cyberattacks. Constant monitoring allows IDS and IPS systems to learn as the industry expands.

Network Routers

Securing Routers within your network is an easy way of hardening access to the network, limiting access to the network to only those devices that have access to the router.

Network Switches

Enabling secure connections between devices, these switches need to be secure to protect data transfers.

Firewalls

Provides secure access to approved networks only, and prevents unsecured data transfer through to devices. Firewalls are common preventers of viruses.

Content Filtering/AV

Restricting information that can be accessed while on a network such as applications, websites or users. The most simplified and common content filters are parental controls, but restricted access is utilized across all industries.

Private Networks

VPN access to a private network can be done through any network, providing secure data when accessing the VPN. These are utilized for remote access when employees or those who need access cannot be within the physical network.

Our Process Is

Quite
Simple

Our process is quite simple - Planning - Discovery - Exploitation - Analysis & Reporting

Step 1Plan

What does success look like for your network, what capabilities are we looking to confirm.

Step 2Discovery

Gathering of information through scanning ports and sniffing networks with an intent of detecting vulnerabilities and confirming data validity.

Step 3Exploitation

Verify vulnerable access points through testing the system at the identified access points.

Step 4Analysis & Reporting

We provide detailed reports of our findings including suggested next steps to fix vulnerable access points.

When you know your flaws and vulnerabilities, you can work to improve them. Network security is never the place to turn a blind eye.

In addition to our process, knowing distinct features of your cloud will play into our cloud penetration testing. We would identify some critical elements prior to starting our process. Like what type of cloud you are using, with common types being SaaS, IaaS or PaaS, and what permissions you need before beginning penetration testing on your cloud. If you have a private cloud, the permission to test is easily obtained. Many public cloud systems will not allow third party penetration testing, in which we would proceed to alternate penetration testing such as network, endpoint and application testing.
