Getting an unbiased view from the third-party security assessment team is crucial.
External networks comprise all public networks, including the internet at large. Threat actors venture to gain access to an organisation’s internal systems by leveraging these public-facing assets. Since many enterprise apps, like mail servers, websites, or even customer portals, sustain a nexus to these outside networks, they can present a doorway if not adequately protected. Adversaries may strive to snatch sensitive data, or take authority of an asset and use it for their malicious purposes, like crypto mining or as part of a botnet. External pen testers strive to find security flaws in the front-facing perimeter. Or venture to circumvent them all together with tactics like a spear-phishing campaign or additional social engineering techniques.
OMVAPT’s external network penetration and security assessment methodology covers cloud networks in the Penetration Testing scope.
Internal networks are those utilised entirely by employees within an organisation, like an intranet or any network using a private IP address. Intrusion attempts on internal networks can be astonishingly threatening, as most sensitive or classified data is present within a company’s intranet. Disgruntled employees or ex-employees profess a remarkably substantial risk since they already have access to specific private networks. Internal Pen Testers simulate the role of a disgruntled employee. Or a threat actor who has stolen credentials to illustrate potential flaws, like orphaned accounts or poorly managed access privileges.
