External Penetration Testing.
Your perimeter is the first thing an attacker sees. We test it the way they would: enumerating exposed services, chaining weaknesses, and proving what an external adversary could actually reach — then handing you a prioritized path to close it.
What's included
Every engagement is scoped to your environment and objectives. A typical external penetration testing engagement covers:
Attack-surface mapping
Discovery of exposed hosts, services, and forgotten assets.
Vulnerability validation
Real exploitation, not just a scanner dump of false positives.
Credential & exposure checks
Leaked credentials, weak auth, and misconfigurations.
Business-risk reporting
Findings ranked by impact, with clear remediation steps.
Scope & discover
We map your assets, systems, and objectives before any testing begins.
Assess & test
Hands-on assessment aligned to recognized methodologies.
Report & prioritize
Executive-ready findings ranked by business risk.
Remediate & retest
We help you fix, validate, and confirm the fix holds.
Questions, answered.
External penetration testing simulates an attack from outside your network against your internet-facing systems — websites, VPNs, mail, and exposed services — to find and safely exploit the weaknesses a real attacker would use to get in.
