Internal Network Penetration Testing Services

At Tanner Security, we provide internal network penetration testing services to identify vulnerabilities within your organization’s internal IT network. Our team of ethical hackers will test your security controls to ensure they are effective against a potential insider threat or a compromised device. An internal network penetration test verifies that your sensitive data is secure.

Tanner Security’s Internal Network Penetration Testing?

Experienced Professionals: Our team of seasoned penetration testers brings extensive experience and a deep understanding of internal network security controls.

Comprehensive Vulnerability Assessment: We conduct thorough assessments to uncover security gaps, misconfigurations, and vulnerabilities within your internal network.

Simulated Insider Attacks: By simulating attacks from within your organization, we provide a realistic evaluation of your network’s security posture.

Customized Testing: Our testing is tailored to your environment, ensuring relevant and actionable findings.

Detailed Reporting and Remediation: After the assessment, we deliver detailed reports highlighting identified vulnerabilities and providing actionable remediation steps. We work closely with your IT team to ensure the effective implementation of the security controls.

Ongoing IT Security Support and Training: Security is an ongoing process. We offer continuous support and training to help your team stay updated on the latest security practices and threats.

Types of Network Penetration Tests

  • Black Box Penetration Test: Simulates an attack by an uninformed outsider, providing a realistic assessment of your network defenses.
  • Gray Box Penetration Test: This test combines partial knowledge of your network with efficient security assessments, balancing the benefits of black and white box testing.
  • White Box Penetration Test: This test involves complete knowledge of your network to identify deep-rooted vulnerabilities and assess internal security controls.
  • Authenticated Penetration Test: Uses valid user credentials to assess security from the perspective of an authenticated user, identifying vulnerabilities from malicious insiders or attackers with stolen credentials.
  • Red Team Penetration Test: Simulates an attack by an outsider, providing a comprehensive evaluation of your security defenses and incident response capabilities

We were fortunate to have collaborated with Tanner IT Security Consultants. From the outset, John’s team exhibited a remarkable depth of knowledge and a clear understanding of our specific requirements.

Our Internal Network Pen Test Approach

Our Pen Testing Methodology

  1. Planning and Scoping: Define the scope of the test, including which systems, servers, and networks are tested. Gather necessary information such as network diagrams, system configurations, and credentials.
  2. Reconnaissance and Information Gathering: Collect additional information about the target systems through passive and active reconnaissance techniques. This step helps map the attack surface and identify potential entry points.
  3. Vulnerability Identification: We use automated tools and manual techniques to identify system vulnerabilities. These tools scan for open ports, outdated software, misconfigurations, and insecure coding practices.
  4. Exploitation: Attempt to exploit identified vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access, escalate privileges, or extract sensitive data. This step helps demonstrate the vulnerabilities’ real-world impact.
  5. Post-Exploitation and Analysis: Analyze the exploitation phase results to understand the compromise’s extent and potential damage an attacker could cause.
  6. Reporting: Compile a detailed report outlining the vulnerabilities discovered, the methods used to exploit them, and the potential impact. The report should also include recommendations for remediation and improving the overall security posture.
  7. Remediation and Re-Testing: Work with the organization to address the identified vulnerabilities and implement security improvements. Conduct follow-up testing to ensure that the remediation efforts are effective.
