Maximize your security posture with the benefits of pentesting

Pentesting – the power of proactive security

Penetration testing, also known as pen testing, is a crucial security exercise in which a skilled cyber-security specialist tries to exploit vulnerabilities in a computer system. This simulated attack is designed to identify any weaknesses in a system’s defenses that an attacker might exploit.

Think of it like a bank hiring a thief to break into their building and try to open the vault. If the “burglar” is successful in breaking in and taking over the bank or the vault, the bank will learn valuable information about how to improve their security systems.

When should you perform a penetration test? Here are a few scenarios:

When you’re,

1. Facing new or suspected IT security threats
2. Developing or upgrading new enterprise software or an intranet
3. Changing the location of your workplace and network, or going completely remote
4. Creating a new internal data storage location, or moving an existing one
5. Recently been targeted by malware or ransomware attacks
6. Setting up a new end-user policy or program

Now, let’s explore the top 7 benefits of penetration testing:

1. Identifies your shortcomings

   Knowing about your security weaknesses is crucial to avoid losing time, money, and trust. Our security team reveals your security shortcomings in a report, allowing you to make informed and improved decisions. Understanding your software and hardware upgrades helps increase the overall security of your enterprise. As every business model is unique, our team tries to understand your business before providing any solutions.

2. Displays actual risks

   If you don’t know what your actual problem is, how can you resolve it? Identifying the problem is half the solution, and that’s what we do at zeb. With our report, we easily convey the vulnerabilities, how we exploited them, and what would be the right remediation for you.

3. Tests the strength of your cyber defense

   Have you made a change in your organization and need to know how well it provides security? If you don’t have an answer, then you are in great danger. You should be able to recognize attacks and react suitably and promptly. The results of a penetration test will inform you how robust your security system is and will help strengthen your defense.

4. Provides a qualified opinion

   Even if you have a strong security team, sometimes it’s difficult for them to see every problem. As they get used to the situation or environment, it becomes difficult to see the forest for the trees. Security may not be given a high priority simply because things work. A report from our expert usually has a more significant impact, helping you save the organization from substantial loss. In addition, having unbiased third-party testers in place brings them a new set of skills.

5. Upholds trust

   A cyberattack or data leak will adversely affect the trust and loyalty of your partners, resulting in a great downfall for your business. To avoid this, penetration testing can help you immensely. All stakeholders will feel more secure if your company is recognized for its rigorous security audits enabled by us.

6. Helps allocate your budget

   Do you know how bad an attack can get?
   Industries that deal with sensitive customer data should use Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing as a rule. Compliance Standards such as HIPAA, PCI-DSS, RBI-ISMS, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 are crucial for organizations dealing with sensitive data. Failing to follow the rules might result in penalties of millions.

   By knowing your strengths and weaknesses through a pen test and the right remediation for your organization, you will be able to allocate the proper funds and components to resolve the problems as soon as possible. Pocket-friendly decisions can be made that will safeguard your organization and improve your security infrastructure.

7. Provides a new dimension

   Improving your company in a distinctive way is important, as this world is getting complicated with sophisticated attacks. New exploits and vulnerabilities are discovered daily. With our penetration testing service, you can get a unique perspective of your enterprise, which will help improve your security posture and upgrade your enterprise in every aspect.

   We believe that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to business models. That’s why we take the time to understand your business first before suggesting any solutions.
