What is Penetration Testing?
A penetration test (pen test) is an authorized simulated cyberattack on your computer systems, performed to evaluate the security of the system. Unlike automated vulnerability scans, penetration testing involves manual exploitation and creative thinking to identify complex attack paths.
At Eduron IS, we go beyond automated scanning. Our testers combine technical expertise with business context to deliver findings that are both technically accurate and practically relevant to your organization.
Types of Penetration Tests We Offer
External Network Testing
Assessment of externally-facing systems, simulating attacks from the internet.
Internal Network Testing
Simulating insider threats and post-breach lateral movement scenarios.
Web Application Testing
OWASP-based testing for web applications, APIs, and online services.
Cloud Security Testing
AWS, Azure, and GCP configuration and access control reviews.
Wireless Network Testing
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other wireless technology security assessments, including digital badges, keycards, etc.
Social Engineering
Phishing simulations with pre-defined list of E-mail addresses (white-box) or without it (black-box).
Vulnerability Assessment
Automated vulnerability scanning, assessment and recommendations.
Agentic penetration testing
Agentic, aka. AI-driven or AI-assisted penetration testing. Uses AI agents to carry out reconnaissance and repeatable test steps
Our Methodology
Scoping & Rules of Engagement
Define targets, constraints, communication channels, and legal authorization. No testing begins without signed authorization.
Reconnaissance & Enumeration
Passive and active information gathering. Mapping the attack surface and identifying potential entry points.
Exploitation & Lateral Movement
Manual and assisted exploitation. Chaining vulnerabilities to demonstrate real-world impact and business risk.
Post-Exploitation & Cleanup
Documenting access achieved, data accessible, and impact. All artifacts and backdoors removed.
Reporting & Remediation Guidance
Detailed technical report with executive summary, risk ratings, proof-of-concept, and prioritized remediation steps.
Free Retest
Verification of fixes within 120 days at no additional cost. Ensuring vulnerabilities are properly addressed.
Standards & Frameworks
Our testing aligns with industry-leading standards:
- OSSTMM (Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual)
- OWASP Testing Guide (v4.2)
- PTES (Penetration Testing Execution Standard)
