An external pentest is a comprehensive and detailed testing process where we assess the security of an organization or system from the outside. We test systems that are directly connected to the internet.
This has several advantages. For one, an external pentest can help improve an organization’s security. With this independent advice, you can enhance the security of your systems.

A pentest begins with the development of a plan, which outlines the security tests to be conducted and their objectives. Next, the organization’s network and systems are examined for weaknesses. We do this using automated tools and manual testing.
If we find vulnerabilities, they are reported to the organization. We describe how we could exploit the weakness and provide recommendations for how it can be resolved.
