Have you ever wondered if your digital safety systems stand up to the real threat? If there was a way to examine it in the most reliable, real-world conditions, it would start with getting under attack. The data provided by recording the efforts of a malicious attacker would be used as a benchmark in vulnerability assessment, spotting and ranking weaknesses with complex strategy provided after a full analysis. Fortunately, that’s what we do.
Identification of flaws in your security systems
Verification of your hacking attempt readiness
Assessment of successful attacks’ impact on both business and operational level
Input on how to update and develop security protocols and systems
Penetration testing is all about a skilled specialist using a full arsenal of methods and technics trying to compromise clients security systems. The manual and automated tests combined with the ethical hacker’s knowledge and creativity are considered a detailed representation of how a real attack would be conducted.
Pentesting considers several areas:
Well performed pentesting allows analyzing vectors, assessing casualties and overall testing your security infrastructure in real conditions. Ultimately the goal is to prepare a strategic roadmap with solutions aiming to patch the vulnerabilities we found and develop defences in a short- and long-term.
While performing pentesting services we adopt state of the art tools, according to best practices in security testing industry:
For best mobile and WWW services coverage, we work along the OWASP Testing Guide. For more complex tests that include infrastructure and multi-compound projects, we use the PTES guide.
After signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement we gather access data to your systems.
We verify tests range by an understanding of your system’s architecture and operation to quote a project.
We make sure we can allocate the right specialists to conduct the tests meeting the highest standards. We base the testers’ choice on their expertise on a field of the client’s system.
We put on an offer with the scope of services provided, we provide the client with our IP addresses so he can tell whether we’re the ones conducting malware operations or is he under an adversarial attack.
We make sure all the stakeholders know when and how will the test be conducted (including the client’s hosting service). We schedule the tests so it doesn’t affect clients systems and digital infrastructure to ensure we don’t harm the business integrity.
The moment you know how it feels when your company is under a massive cyberattack. All the critical vulnerabilities we found are reported immediately.
The overall report contains two sections:
The report presents types of flaws, points out specific flaws we found and a suggest priorities of patching. Each vulnerability instantiation is described with deep characteristic, its origin, steps to reproduce it and suggested way to fix it. We send the report by a secure channel of client’s choice.
We wait for the client to call and schedule retests to verify proper flaws correction. We can also conduct workshops and lectures considering ways to mitigate further risks, avoiding mistake patterns and raising cybersecurity awareness.

What is penetration testing?
A penetration testing is when a qualified professional walks into hacker shoes to recreate his way of thinking and methods he uses in order to breach a company’s security infrastructure, which allows him to gain the knowledge needed for further improvement in their defence systems.
What’s the difference between a vulnerability scan and a pen test?
A vulnerability scan is a previously programmed automatic search for predefined weak spots, while pen test is more of an exploratory evaluation with a machine and human-driven approach combined, that covers a much wider field and reproduces real hackers methods much more precisely.
How is a pen test conducted?
Penetration testing is all about trying to utilise cybercriminals’ operations. Therefore its main tools and techniques include phishing, cross-site scripting, SQL injection and custom malware deployment.
Will a pen test disrupt my systems?
CyberForces is greatly concerned about our clients’ business, therefore our penetration tests are performed under strict ethical standards. As our testers are specialized professionals we’ll do whatever we can to annulate the risk of affecting the everyday business schedule.
How often should a pen test be performed?
At least once a year, but considering the high priority of implementing modern, strict security standards as well as being under a constant threat of hackers attacks we recommend scheduling them quarterly or even more often.
What happens after a pen test is completed?
After completing pentesting procedures, CyberForces specialist gather intel and write a custom report considering all the vulnerabilities they found with indicated recommendations of remedial actions.
How much does a pen test cost?
A pen test cost depends on various compounds such as the tested network size, that will ultimately define the length of tests. A custom quotation is created for each and every project.
