Infrastructure Penetration Testing

Discover, assess & protect your critical external and internal infrastructure with vulnerability scanning and on-demand pen tests. Deploy continuous scanning to ensure no unnecessary services or misconfigurations are exposed over time.

Comprehensive Testing For Resilient Security
overview

A Modern Approach to Protecting Your Infrastructure

Continuously monitor your infrastructure attack surface with our purpose-built, cloud-native platform. Full-scale manual penetration testing is only a click of a button away, or simply request manual validation of individual vulnerabilities and misconfiguration findings, all from within your dedicated Blacklock dashboard. Schedule automated scans with a frequency up to and including weekly and daily. Our reporting approach delivers truly actionable insights, assisting your IT team to prioritise remediation efforts with context, risk score and criticality rating.

The Centre for Internet Security recommends web facing assets undergo automated vulnerability scanning at least monthly. In the modern age of cyber defence, in order to stay one step ahead of the attackers, the old paradigm of yearly or quarterly manual scans is not only ineffective but can inherently leave your organisation exposed to significant reputational and business risk.

he scanning process we perform systematically
Scoping & Target Specification
1.
Scoping & Target Specification
Detailed pre-engagement scoping allows us to understand your technical environment and craft the correct approach for your specific needs. We consider the underlying infrastructure system status, business risk tolerance, and desired outcomes.

The scan profile is configured with either target individual IP addresses, CIDR blocks or Fully Qualified Domain Names and scan frequency.

Infrastructure Vulnerability Scanning
1.
Infrastructure Vulnerability Scanning
We thoroughly assess and enumerate your private or publicly accessible digital assets. Nothing escapes scrutiny - Hosted applications, open ports and API endpoints are all subject to rigorous testing, including identification of software and operating system misconfiguration, known vulnerabilities and discovery of vulnerable legacy protocols and software.

Our self-service platform and zero config VPN solution allow scanning to be triggered on-demand, scheduled daily, weekly or monthly, and cancelled when necessary. The powerful Blacklock scan engine deploys an array of industry leading, open source and commercial tools against your targets, ensuring maximum attack surface coverage. Scanning tools are continuously updated and tuned to minimise false positives.

Manual Penetration Testing
1.
Manual Penetration Testing
With a robust methodology aligned to leading industry security standards - PTES, OWASP and OSSTMM - our expert team of penetration testers connect through the same VPN tunnel to perform the tests. The tests are conducted from an anonymous, unauthenticated user perspective. The primary purpose of the assessment is to uncover network-layer vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that could result in the complete compromise of the organization’s internal network. No user or domain credentials are required for this assessment.

The manual approach is targeted to gain the highest level of domain privilege (domain admin or enterprise admin) by the end of an assessment.

Reporting & On-Going Support
1.
Reporting & On-Going Support
We take the time to craft, deliver and walk you through three actionable reports for key audiences within your organisation and your customers; Executive, Developers, and Full Penetration Test. Our approach includes working with your teams to re-assess and confirm remediation of vulnerabilities. Via the self-service platform and smart integrations you can interact directly with our team, requesting re-tests and verification.

Based on the report results, we will support you to decide the appropriate on-going vulnerability scanning and manual testing frequency to suit your business operations, development lifecycle, and risk appetite.

Continuous Vulnerability Scanning
1.
Continuous Vulnerability Scanning
Implement on-going vulnerability scanning to ensure that your organisation meets compliance requirements for PCI, ISO 27001, SOC-2, HIPAA or GDPR. Achieve critical NIST, ASD Essential 8 requirements through Blacklock’s Automated Vulnerability Scanning of your external or internal infrastructure assets. Receive regular insights via Teams, Slack or Email notifications. Use these results to inform your own remediation and assurance processes, satisfy board reporting requirements, and ultimately reduce the risk of customer PII or other sensitive data breaches - ensuring the integrity of your internet-facing business presence.

Static Code Analysis
Static code analysis is one of the most effective ways to root out the vulnerabilities in applications and remediate their underlying security flaws. Early and frequent scanning allows for faster vulnerability discovery and resolution and results in a more secure application delivered to customers or end users. It is always cheaper to fix the vulnerability early in the lifecycle.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the difference between Infrastructure Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Scanning?
Plus Icon

A vulnerability scan is fully automated, triggering multiple security tools against the target. The results are fully dependent on the tool output and can contain false positives. The penetration test is executed by our certified security consultants in a controlled environment. This simulates real-world attacks to exploit vulnerabilities, offering in-depth testing of all features, including the validation and elimination of false positives.

How secure is the zero-config VPN connection?
Plus Icon

The solution requires you to install an agent on the internal network and is protected by multi-factor authentication. It is a single click to commission or decommission remote access.

How long does an Infrastructure Penetration Testing typically take?
Plus Icon

The duration varies depending on the network size and the number of VLANs (or CIDRs) in scope. A standard test typically lasts one to two weeks. Larger or highly complex networks may require additional time.

What are the Benefits of Security Code Scanning?
Plus Icon

Security code scanning offers several key benefits, including early detection of vulnerabilities, which helps prevent potential security breaches. By automating the scanning process, businesses can save time and resources while ensuring compliance with industry standards such as ISO, SOC2. Additionally, security code scanning enhances overall software quality by identifying coding errors and security flaws that developers can address before deployment.

What Type of Errors Can be Detected During Security Code Scanning?
Plus Icon

During security code scanning, various types of errors can be detected, including hard-coded secrets, out of date softwares, injection vulnerabilities, buffer overflows, improper error handling and misconfigurations. Identifying these errors early in the lifecycle enables businesses to remediate them effectively and enhance their security posture.

Why is Security Code Scanning Essential for a Business?
Plus Icon

Security code scanning proactively identifies and mitigates potential security risks before they can be exploited by attackers. This practice not only protects sensitive data but also helps maintain customer trust and meets compliance requirements. Regular security code scanning contributes to a robust security framework, ensuring that applications are resilient against evolving threats.
