Penetration Testing
Penetration testing is an authorized, simulated attack conducted on systems to assess security. In this process, penetration testers employ tools, techniques, and procedures typically used by malicious actors to identify and demonstrate the potential business impact stemming from vulnerabilities within the system. Furthermore, while scrutinizing different system roles, they ascertain whether a system exhibits the resilience required to withstand attacks from both authenticated and unauthenticated systems.

Accorian’s Proven Approach
Planning and Reconnaissance
- Use passive techniques like searching online resources to gather information about the target system or network
- Use active techniques like port/service scanning and enumeration to identify potential weaknesses and develop test cases
- Traverse through the application to identify workflows and feature lists and develop test cases
Vulnerability Analysis
- Perform an automated scanning process to detect all easily identifiable findings
- Validate the vulnerablities identified by the scanner to eliminate false positives
- Conduct manual testing of the application/systems against all potential threats identified during the reconnaissance phase
Exploitation
- Leverage TTPs (Tactics, Techniques & Procedures), proprietary tools, & research to discover and analyze
- Exploit the identified vulnerabilities to evaluate their impact on the systems
- Traverse through the application to identify workflows and feature lists and develop test cases
Post Exploitation
Remove all exploit files or payloads that have been uploaded or installed on the target system
Reporting
- Prepare comprehensive reports tailored for technical and executive teams
- Provide clear illustrations of identified vulnerabilities, including descriptions, mitigation strategies, & steps to reproduce
- This will assist in verifying the implementation of appropriate measures to address the identified issues
