Network Penetration Testing
In a time of rapidly evolving cyber threats, we help you stay ahead by proactively closing security gaps. Our experts simulate real-world attacks, revealing how adversaries could breach your network and exploit internal pathways. Network security pentesting explores internal and external networks to uncover vulnerabilities in your cloud, network, hardware, and embedded systems.
Simulating a malicious attack, our infrastructure penetration tests offer a powerful and proven method to assess and fortify your computing networks, revealing critical weaknesses in your infrastructure and applications. We seek to identify vulnerabilities in your protected systems across your cloud, network, and hardware and embedded system environments. Our infrastructure penetration testing services include both internal and external infrastructure penetration testing, cloud and virtualisation penetration testing, wireless security penetration testing, software penetration testing and SCADA security penetration testing.
The Importance of Network Penetration Testing
As organizations increasingly rely on interconnected systems and networks, the potential for cyber threats has grown exponentially. Attackers target network infrastructures to gain unauthorized access, disrupt operations, and steal sensitive information. Ensuring the security of your network is essential to maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of your business operations. During our network penetration tests we aim to provide you unique results offering you:
- Better understanding of your security exposure and their related impact:
- Our testing uncovers vulnerabilities and security gaps, helping you understand their potential impact on business operations.
- Assess and validate the efficacy of existing security controls: Our testers scrutinize your defenses using adversary tactics, providing a real-world view of how well your systems withstand the latest attacks.
- Identify which data and controls are accessible: Our thorough methodologies uncover vulnerabilities across your networks, exposing systems and pathways that could disrupt business operations.
- Pinpoint security gaps across various scenarios: Our testers understand your goals and recreate scenarios to assess how well your security controls handle modern and complex attacks.
- Bolster your security defenses: We do not only conduct attacks but also provide your security team with a full scope and actionable recommendations to enhance your overall security posture.
- Comply with increasing regulatory and third-party requirements: We go beyond basic compliance with tailored reporting that meets even the strictest requirements.
Our Approach
Pretera’s Network Penetration Testing services are designed to provide thorough security assessments to manage and mitigate the risks associated with your network infrastructure. Our expert team helps you identify, prioritize, remediate, manage, and report on vulnerabilities, ensuring your network remains secure. During our network Penetration Testing, we cover the following elements:
- Planning and Scope Definition: Define objectives, identify target systems, and agree on rules of engagement.
- Information Gathering: Collect data about the network, including IP addresses, domain names, and network services.
- Vulnerability Assessment: Scan and identify potential vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the network.
- Exploitation: Attempt to exploit identified vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access or escalate privileges.
- Post-Exploitation: Assess the impact of successful exploits, including potential data exposure and lateral movement.
- Reporting: Document findings, including vulnerabilities, exploits, and recommendations for remediation.
- Follow-Up: Review the remediation efforts and re-test to ensure that vulnerabilities have been effectively addressed.

Wireless Testing
Wireless technology is pervasive, powering smartphones, smart homes, office Wi-Fi, public hotspots, industrial automation, medical devices, streaming services, digital classrooms, and IoT gadgets. Wireless networks are vulnerable to breaches by external and internal threats.
ATM
With the rise in ATM machines and because they handle cash, these machines face increased risks from hacking, robberies, and fraud. Pentesting and securing all components of electronic fund transfers, communication links, computers, and terminals itself (ATMs), is crucial to prevent attacks.
Internal Pentesting
By assuming that an attacker has gained access to the internal network or that an insider threat exists, internal penetration testing focuses on your internal network. We evaluate the potential damage a compromised system could inflict and determine the extent to which an attacker could move laterally within the network.
External Pentesting
Companies nowadays have a huge number of internet facing assets which include sensitive data, IoT devices, cloud assets, etc. The dynamic nature of exposed systems and web applications, and the increasing adoption of cloud technologies further broadens potential entry points for attackers increasing the attack surface.
