Penetration Testing
While you may have security systems and processes in place to protect your business, the only way you often find out how good they are is when they come under attack. But waiting for an actual attack to strike is a risky strategy. This is where penetration testing comes into play. Our penetration testing process simulates real-world attacks using the same techniques as malicious hackers. Not only can it help you understand the real cybersecurity risk of your systems, but it gives you the opportunity to mitigate that risk and reduce the vulnerability of your business.
Understanding Your Risk
Despite many companies having comprehensive security measures in place, 64% of organisations still have one or more endpoints compromised each year. With the financial and reputational risk as well as the legal requirement to adhere to security regulations, you need to know that your defences can stand up to an attack. Our security assurance services can test and confirm your layers of defence to ensure your business is protected.
Testing Your Defences
To test your defences, our team of ethical hackers will carry out information reconnaissance and then use any means to gain access to your systems, bypass your defences, escalate privileges and exfiltrate sensitive data.
- Penetration testing - we test infrastructural, application, mobile and hardware components of your business from an attacker’s perspective to help you identify the risk associated with your configuration.
- Red team engagements - we focus on specific scenarios that are of concern to your organisation and carry out a highly targeted assessment to test every part of your business and explore the risk of real-world threats.
After a simulated attack, we’ll give you a full report of how we gained access and offer recommendations to help you improve your security posture.
Business Benefits
By testing your defences before your business is the subject of a real-life attack, you can:
- Expose the effectiveness of your security controls
- Understand the tactics and techniques used in real-world attacks
- Identify potential attack paths
- Remediate weakness that could compromise your business
- Ensure compliance with regulations
- Mitigate the impact of malicious insiders

As the silly season is around the corner, distracted Australians are thinking more about the upcoming festivities and taking a much-deserved break with family and friends. As they should, however, cybercriminals don’t take a break and use this time of year to take advantage of unsuspecting individuals within organisations with targeted phishing attacks.
In this blog post, we provide 5 tips for spotting a phishing email to protect yourself and your organisation during the Christmas period.
Organisations originally created governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) programs in response to strict regulations and operational risks. However, this led to GRC operating in silos, with legal, finance and IT all operating independently. This approach often leads to a disconnect between organisational objectives and risk appetite and ultimately failed to deliver business value.
Ransomware is the most concerning and dangerous type of malware that can cause severe financial and reputational damage. What separates it from other malware, is the word “ransom” which is a form of extortion. And cybercriminals are successfully using it to disrupt services and steal from Australian businesses and individuals. In fact, over the past 12 months, Australia has faced a 15 per cent increase in ransomware cyberattacks.
The endpoint landscape is constantly evolving and keeping up can be a huge challenge. All it takes is for an end-user to download an unapproved application or for an operating system patch to not be successfully applied to create a new vulnerability. And every vulnerability on an endpoint provides an opportunity for an attacker to breach your system. Once they have gained access, they can misuse resources, steal data or block access to files and services. Without identifying and remediating vulnerabilities, you are leaving your network open to attack. This is where vulnerability management becomes a critical aspect in keeping your business secure. Vulnerability management is a strategy used to track, minimise, and ultimately eliminate vulnerabilities in your systems.
As the threat landscape continues to evolve, so do business risks and regulations. As such, many companies are looking to work with a cybersecurity partner to implement the necessary frameworks and technology to manage those risks. A solid GRC framework can help you to safeguard your data from threats, improve efficiencies and proactively conform to compliance requirements. However, navigating through different frameworks and standards to implement a holistic GRC program is a significant challenge. This is why finding the right security partner is vital. You need a partner that has technical expertise, is knowledgeable about compliance requirements and has strong project management skills.
