Healthcare & Life Sciences
Healthcare organizations must comply with HIPAA and HITECH, which mandate robust protection of patient health information (PHI) from unauthorized access, both external and internal.
Legal & Professional Services
Law firms and professional services companies manage confidential client information, making internal network security essential to protect proprietary data and maintain client privilege against sophisticated threats.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an internal penetration test?
An internal penetration test simulates an attack originating from within your network, such as from a compromised employee account or a malicious insider. It aims to discover vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker to move laterally, escalate privileges, and access sensitive data.
How is this different from an external penetration test?
An external penetration test focuses on vulnerabilities accessible from the internet. An internal penetration test assumes the attacker has already bypassed external defenses and is testing the security of your internal network infrastructure and systems.
What kind of vulnerabilities does this test identify?
This test can identify a wide range of vulnerabilities, including weak password policies, unpatched software, misconfigured network devices, insecure internal applications, and improper access controls.
