Pentesting Overview
What is pentesting, how is it carried out and how does it work in the CybaVerse platform.
What is Pentesting?
Penetration testing - often referred to as pentesting - is a proactive security exercise aimed at
identifying vulnerabilities or weaknesses within a company's digital environment.
This can include:
- Websites
- Mobile applications
- External interfaces
- Internal networks
- Or any other part of your organisation's infrastructure
Tailored Testing Approach
Our team will collaborate with you to:
- Define the scope of the test
- Agree on timelines
- Determine the most suitable testing methodology
You can choose from a range of approaches, including:
- Black-box testing: No prior access or information is given, simulating an external attack
- Authenticated testing: Access is provided in advance to simulate an insider threat
- Hybrid models: A combination of both to match your specific needs
Flexible Delivery
Testing can be conducted either remotely or onsite.
We can also align testing with specific standards or frameworks to meet compliance or policy requirements.
Secure Platform Integration
- All tests are managed through our secure platform
- You can upload necessary details - such as credentials or technical documentation - safely and easily
- Once testing begins, your assigned tester will reach out with updates and early findings
Post-Test Reporting
After testing:
- An interactive report will be uploaded to the platform, breaking down findings in a clear and actionable way
- A PDF version will also be available for download, ideal for sharing internally or with stakeholders
Retesting
If vulnerabilities are found and later remediated, you can schedule a retest to validate the fixes.
Note: A retest may be included in your package. If you're unsure, please contact your account manager to confirm.
