Internal Penetration TestAn internal penetration test is an attempt to gain access to internal systems from either the perspective of an attacker who has internal access or an employee with low access privileges. Often deemed low risk by management, internal security risks can often pose a substantial risk.
We will attempt to escalate privileges and gain access to systems or devices agreed to prior to testing. In order to confirm the situation we will have a number of targets such as retrieving administrator passwords, database passwords, system or server screenshots, confidential emails or confidential documents.
An internal penetration test follows the standard penetration test methodology. Information is gathered about the local network. Service and vulnerability scanning is carried out. Potential exploitation is determined and exploitation is attempted. Internal testing has a significant manual element due to how sensitive information can be identified.
The report will provide an executive summary section with a non-technical explanation of the impacts and likelihoods of the more serious issues, as well as a more in-depth technical section.
