Penetration Test Services

Put Your Cybersecurity to the Test

Understanding and addressing network and host vulnerabilities is an essential element to strong information security, but that alone is insufficient. Network penetration testing—also commonly referred to as ethical hacking—goes beyond the actual discovery of vulnerabilities. It actively exploits vulnerabilities with real-world attack techniques to see if your IT assets, data, humans, and/or physical security can be compromised.

Regardless of the strength and sophistication of your defense strategy, a clever enough human mind with strong motivation and determination can (and will) find a way in. This is where the world of ethical hacking can be brought to bear on your behalf.

Pen Test Services mobilize Fortra’s skilled and experienced team of testers against your network defenses to:

• Assess the business impact of successful attacks
• Provide quantifiable support for increased investments in security personnel and
  technology
• Improve compliance posture, e.g., PCI DSS—which requires both annual and
  ongoing penetration testing

Pen Test’s online reporting and remediation tracking resides within a cloud-based SaaS platform, offering a holistic view and one convenient portal for vulnerability assessment and penetration test findings.
