Infrastructure penetration testing

Our infrastructure penetration testing is a proactive ethical hacking assessment that evaluates the security of the key elements of your IT network such as your cloud environments, servers, and firewalls. We will act like a real attacker, simulating their techniques, thinking, and methodologies to find and exploit your vulnerabilities to assess the effectiveness of the current security controls you have in place. Our goal is to help you find and prioritise the remediation of your security flaws before they are discovered for real and exploited by a genuine attacker.

The benefits to you of infrastructure penetration testing

  • Uncover vulnerabilities and poor security controls across your infrastructure before attackers can
  • Exploiting network security flaws demonstrates current risk levels to senior leadership
  • Demonstrate excellent cyber security practices to your clients and partners
  • Remediation of vulnerabilities will help meet compliance requirements such ISO 27001 and NIS2

Our infrastructure penetration testing

How we work with you to help achieve your goals

We get into the fine details of your IT infrastructure

Our Infrastructure Penetration Testing blends internal and external approaches to thoroughly test connected network devices including servers, switches, endpoints, cloud environments, and firewalls. We will be looking closely at how they operate and communicate with each other, who has access to them, and how they are configured. We are not just on the look out for security vulnerabilities either. Because we use infrastructure engineers in our testing, who have considerable experience in building secure, reliable, and scalable networks, they will also advise when they believe improvements to day-day operations, efficiencies, or cost savings can be made.

We move quickly without sales people

In cybersecurity we know speed matters. Unlike most other providers, your main point of contact will be the technical expert leading your engagement. This means no delays while a sales person checks technical details or the delivery calendar for when your project can begin.

We outline the security priorities and how to fix them

The fact is that for an expert in infrastructure security, most vulnerabilities are of low risk, easily identified and quickly fixed. If we find a severe vulnerability, rest assured this will be highlighted immediately as a priority and you will have our recommendations for remediation as soon as possible.

Service Benefits

  • Learn more about your infrastructure - Our penetration test will be an in-depth analysis of your IT infrastructure and your ability to defend your applications, systems, networks, endpoints, and users against a real attack. Our testers are all experienced infrastructure engineers and will advise on any other operational 'wins' we can advise on beyond security.
  • An ideal opportunity to look at your IT costs - Because of its very nature; taking a holistic view of your infrastructure, our penetration testing often uncovers areas of under and overspend clients never knew existed, helping you allocate your IT budget more effectively. Highlighting your system’s weaknesses also shows business leadership where additional investment may be best spent.
  • Demonstrate your excellent cyber security practices to clients and partners - This is becoming ever more important to winning business. Many bid documents now include a weighted score for this, while many organisations put stringent checks in place before allowing suppliers to connect to their systems. Being able to demonstrate your infrastructure is secure will help you win business.
  • Develop your internal team skills - Our penetration testers are all highly experienced ethical hackers with huge insights into how your threats operate. They are part of your team and everything they discover will be shared with you, creating a fabulous opportunity to enhance your internal teams continued professional development
  • Access technical expertise when you need it - At Morgan Cyber, your main contact will be the technical expert leading our relationship, not an account manager. We believe this is the best way to provide great client service and accelerate your project. Unlike some other providers, we do not charge you for the administrative time spent on a project.

How It Works

Just as a skilled tailor crafts each garment to perfectly suit their clients requirements and preferences, our approach to infrastructure penetration testing is similarly bespoke. We understand that you will have unique needs and objectives, and will never force you into a mould that doesn’t align. Instead, we meticulously tailor each engagement to cater specifically to your situation and budget.

  • Stage 1 - Understand - Our team will meet with yours on a free scoping call to give us the best possible understanding of your existing infrastructure, what the penetration test needs to cover, and the parameters it will be undertaken. We would also really like to know your wider goals are, for example, penetration testing will help in obtaining compliance standards such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2
  • Stage 2 - Planning - The technical expert leading your engagement we will use the information gathered from conversations in stage 1, along with our own leading intelligence tooling and existing industry knowledge to start reconnaissance of the target infrastructure. Depending on the scope of the engagement, you may not hear from us again until completion.
  • Stage 3 - Analysis and exploitation - Using a combination of their expert skills and automated tooling our testers will start exploring your infrastructure and what factors are making it vulnerable. They will then simulate attacks using a combination of our own exploits and existing software without disrupting your operations
  • Stage 4 - Reporting, reviewing & improving - Our infrastructure testing report will be extremely detailed, thoroughly explaining the vulnerabilities we discovered, and how they were exploited. Once you have had a chance to read the report, the technical expert leading your engagement will host a call to review the findings collaboratively with your internal stakeholders. The objective of this call is to put in place a clear improvement path, prioritising the remediation of vulnerabilities posing the biggest threat
