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 be exploited to gain further access or steal data.
How is this different from an external penetration test?
An external penetration test assesses your network's defenses from the internet. An internal test focuses on what an attacker could do once they are already inside your network perimeter.
What kind of vulnerabilities can be found?
This test can uncover issues like weak passwords, unpatched software, misconfigured services, insecure internal applications, and vulnerabilities in network segmentation.
