Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a vulnerability scan and a penetration test?
A vulnerability scan uses automated tools to identify known weaknesses. A penetration test is a manual, in-depth assessment that simulates real-world attacks to find exploitable vulnerabilities and assess their impact.
How long does an internal penetration test take?
The duration varies based on the complexity and size of the network segment being tested, but typically ranges from a few days to a couple of weeks. The scope of up to 500 hosts/IPs allows for focused engagement.
What happens after the penetration test is complete?
You will receive a detailed report outlining all findings, their severity, and actionable recommendations for remediation. Zent Networks can also provide guidance on implementing these fixes.
