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 device or a malicious insider. It aims to discover vulnerabilities that could be exploited once an attacker has gained initial access.
How many hosts does this test cover?
This specific service covers up to 750 hosts or IP addresses within your internal network. For larger environments, custom scoping may be required.
What is the difference between a vulnerability scan and a penetration test?
A vulnerability scan identifies and reports on known vulnerabilities. A penetration test goes further by attempting to actively exploit those vulnerabilities to determine their real-world impact and potential for compromise.
What kind of report will I receive?
You will receive a detailed report outlining the vulnerabilities discovered, their severity, the methods used to exploit them, and actionable recommendations for remediation. This report is designed to help your IT team prioritize and address security gaps effectively.
