Penetration Testing
While you may have security systems and processes in place to protect your business, often the only way you discover how good they actually are is when they come under attack. However, waiting for a real attack to strike is a risky strategy. This is where penetration testing comes into play.
WHAT IS PENETRATION TESTING?
Penetration testing involves simulating real-world attacks, using the same techniques that malicious hackers use. 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. InfoTrust provides reliable penetration testing services Australia-wide.
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 various tactics 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 teaming 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 carrying out a simulated attack, we’ll provide you with a full report of how we gained access to your systems 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 weaknesses that could compromise your business
- Ensure compliance with regulations
- Mitigate the impact of malicious insiders
InfoTrust employs ethical hackers certified by organisations such as CREST, SANS, and Offensive Security to deliver comprehensive penetration testing services in Sydney and throughout Australia.
We can also assist with awareness training, incident response, and consulting and advisory services. Enquire about our CISO Services Retainer to leverage the support of an entire security team.

The cyber threat landscape is continually evolving as cybercriminals look for new vulnerabilities in organisation’s systems and processes. As we increasingly access applications, data, and tools from remote locations, these risks compound further. To mitigate the threat of risk or loss to critical assets, it’s vital to have a full set of security technologies along with the ability to monitor and track user behaviour within the organisation’s network. The Security Service Edge (SSE), a term coined by Gartner and a new concept in the cybersecurity landscape, aims to help do just that. SSE uses a collection of integrated, cloud-centric security capabilities to facilitate secure remote access to corporate resources.
ISO 27002:2022 was released on 15th February replacing the 2013 version.
This blog discusses what revisions were made in ISO 27002:2022 to reflect the improvements in technology and updates in information security practices within a diverse range of industries, businesses, and governments. We will also explain how the updated structure has been simplified for ease of use.
What has changed in ISO 27002:2022
Changes to the upcoming ISO 27001 standard are due to be released shortly. This article describes major changes to the components of ISO 27001’s Annex Controls by analysing what new modules now exist in the ISO 27002:2022 standard.
DOES THIS APPLY TO ME?
These modules will quickly become standard components of risk questionnaires, and will become non-negotiable baseline security requirements when your business handles data, or provides services.

After a challenging year of well-publicised critical infrastructure attacks, massive supply chain breaches and financially motivated incidents, business leaders and individuals alike are only too aware of the risks of cybercrime. The 15th annual Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) takes a deep dive into the data, analysing tens of thousands of security incidents and data breaches that took place in 2021. The aim is to educate businesses about the common action types used against enterprises and to better prepare them to bolster their defences. In this article, we’ll summarise the key findings from the report with a focus on what has happened in the Asia Pacific region.
Despite billions invested into perimeter and endpoint security since the global pandemic began, phishing and business email compromise (BEC) scams remain as primary attack vectors into our businesses. With huge losses during 2021 as a direct result of these scams, global adoption of Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) has never been more important.
With Australian organisations encouraged to urgently adopt an enhanced cybersecurity posture, organisations should ensure they have mitigation strategies in place against cyber-attacks and are prepared to identify and respond to cybersecurity incidents. Whilst no mitigation strategy can offer full security against all cyber threats, it is recommended to implement eight essential mitigation strategies from the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC).
