External Penetration Testing

Stay safe from online threats.

The Internet’s Dark Side: Cyber Attacks

Attacks From the Internet

Every online service you use is connected to the Internet, making penetration testing essential to address potential vulnerabilities.

Frequent Cyber Attacks

Cyber attacks are rapidly increasing, with automated tools scanning the internet for vulnerable systems and often breaching them automatically.

Constantly Evolving Threats

Cyber threats evolve rapidly, with attackers using automated tools to scan, breach, and establish control over vulnerable systems.

Stay Secure by Uncovering Hidden Risk

External penetration testing protects your systems by simulating real-world cyber attacks, uncovering hidden vulnerabilities before hackers can exploit them, and empowering you to proactively strengthen your defenses against ever-evolving online threats.

Realistic Threat Assessment

Attack simulation in external penetration testing provides a realistic assessment of an organization’s security defenses by mimicking real-world attack scenarios. This helps customers understand how external threat actors could potentially breach their systems.

Enhanced Incident Response

Simulations help organizations develop and refine their incident response capabilities. By practicing responses to simulated attacks, security teams become better equipped to handle real-world cyber threats, minimizing potential damage and recovery time.

Compliance and Due Diligence

Regular attack simulations can help organizations meet regulatory requirements and demonstrate their commitment to cybersecurity, which is important for building trust with stakeholders and customers.

Improved Detection Capabilities

Through hands-on experience with simulated attacks, security teams can develop the skills needed to detect and respond to actual cyber threats more effectively. This reduces the risk of successful breaches and enhances overall security posture.

Continuous Security Assessment

Unlike traditional penetration testing, Raxis Attack can provide ongoing, automated assessments of an organization’s security posture. This allows for real-time understanding of vulnerabilities against both known and emerging threats.

Proactive Vulnerability Identification

By simulating real-world cyber attacks, organizations can uncover weaknesses in their security controls before malicious actors exploit them. This proactive approach allows companies to address vulnerabilities and strengthen their defenses preemptively.

Detailed Reporting and Remediation

Raxis provides a comprehensive overview of identified vulnerabilities, their potential impact, and actionable recommendations for remediation. This documentation not only helps organizations prioritize and address critical security flaws but also serves as essential evidence for compliance with industry regulations and standards, ultimately strengthening the overall cybersecurity posture.

Employee Education

Attack simulations provide valuable training for employees, helping them recognize and respond to various cyber threats, including phishing and social engineering attempts. This is crucial as human error accounts for over 88% of all data breaches.

The “Pentest” They Do Isn’t Very Effective

Most of our competition offers lower cost services that are labeled as penetration tests. The old saying, “If it seems too good to be true, it probably isn’t true,” comes to mind.

There’s no “easy” button in penetration testing. We suggest that you take a close look at their offering. Find out who will be doing your tests, how successful they have been in the past, and review their sample reports. Time and time again, we’ve seen subpar results with these providers and many customers come to us to finish the job that they couldn’t deliver.

With us, you may have to remediate a few items and leverage our included re-test to get a “clean report”. We will help you every step of the way. The difference is that our “clean report” will leave you far better protected from the real hackers.

A Few Cases We’ve Seen Before

Many companies don’t know everything they have exposed externally. We often find that someone rushing to get their job done may focus most on getting things working . . . and not on securing them. Here are some examples of what we’ve found:

Telnet and FTP services that require no credentials and allow malicious file uploads.

Exposed administrative pages, often requiring only easily discovered default credentials, that allowed Raxis to view and edit high level device settings — and even sensitive customer and system data.

Web login pages that revealed which usernames were valid and didn’t block brute-force attacks. This enables malicious actors to use easily accessible technology and test billions of potential password combinations per second. Weak ones can be cracked in an instant.
