Test How Weaknesses Could Be Used Against Your Systems
A list of vulnerabilities leaves an important question: what could an attacker do with them? Axelris Technologies provides penetration testing of agreed systems, examining how weaknesses could be used and what the findings mean for your business.
You may be preparing a system for launch or responding to a customer’s security requirement. Explain the decision the test needs to support. That helps define the targets and the evidence your team needs from the work.
Examine how weaknesses in internal or external networks could be used to gain access.
Test the selected web applications and APIs for weaknesses an attacker could use.
Review attack paths involving Active Directory and identity systems included in the test.
Examine weaknesses in the cloud accounts and resources selected for testing.
Social-engineering simulations and red-team exercises require their own agreed scope. They are not assumed to be part of every test.
Define the targets and exclusions, with written authorization from the relevant system owner. Agree on the testing window, access required and contacts for urgent findings. Check provider requirements and identify production dependencies or restrictions before work begins.
The service provides an executive summary and a technical report, with remediation guidance. Management can use the summary to understand the business concern; technical staff can use the detail to plan the fixes.
Agree on the report requirements before testing. Clarify who implements the changes and whether a later retest is included.
FAQ
Scans identify potential weaknesses. A penetration test examines how weaknesses could be used, including whether they form an attack path. Share existing scan results when discussing the scope.
Testing can affect live systems. The permitted methods and timing need to account for the services your business depends on.
Ask for retesting when planning the work. The proposal should state which fixes will be checked again, when and at what cost.
Share the customer’s requirements before booking. The scope and reporting need to match the evidence requested; a test is not a general security certification.
Describe the systems involved and any deadline or customer requirement. We can discuss the testing scope and the report you need.
