Types of Penetration Testing We Provide
Security testing at UTOR involves both external and internal tests. Unlike other penetration testing service providers, we concentrate on two platforms only: web and mobile.
External penetration testing
Your company website, your email, your domain name servers (DNS), and your application itself are assets that can be accessed through the internet. To do external network penetration testing, our penetration testing services company will try to get access to your data by simulating an attack from a remote location.
Internal penetration testing
Cybercriminals aren't the only security threat you must be prepared for. Internal data breaches comprise a whopping 42% of all attacks. To carry out internal pen tests our IT penetration testing company will access your app behind its firewall to simulate an attack by a malicious insider.
Web application penetration testing
Our process of web security testing involves manual or automated testing methods. Our team of security and penetration testing service providers will identify vulnerabilities, security flaws, and threats in your web application implementing malicious penetration attacks such as cross-site scripting, SQL injection, and backdoors.
Mobile application penetration testing
Our mobile app security testing services are based on the OWASP Mobile Security Project to ensure that your app is built with security in mind. Our software penetration testing process involves reverse engineering, decryption, and file analysis and uses a different approach than with web applications.
Get End-to-End Penetration Testing
We tailor our software security penetration testing service to the needs of every client with one goal — to demonstrate their level of security and show them how to strengthen it. OWASP Top Ten Project provides the most critical security risks to web applications and also applies to mobile apps. As a professional penetration testing company, we use this document as a basis for planning penetration testing scenarios for our projects.

FAQ
What is penetration testing?
Penetration testing (also known as pen testing) is a method of security testing aimed at revealing vulnerabilities in a system by simulating malicious real-life cybersecurity attacks.
What are the differences between vulnerability and penetration types of testing?
Vulnerability scanning is an automated method for testing common network and server vulnerabilities. It's more cost-effective than penetration testing. Vulnerability scan checks for known vulnerabilities and is used as a detective control. A penetration test, on the other hand, is used as a preventive control. It goes further than a vulnerability scan by exploiting the weaknesses in the system. Penetration test may require automated tools, but it is always done by experienced software security professionals.
How do I know when to run a penetration test?
The best time to conduct a pen test is right before your system is put into production. In other words, you want to make sure your system is no longer in a state of constant change.
What's the required frequency of running penetration tests?
The frequency of penetration testing largely depends on the size of your environment, how often you make changes to it, and whether you're subject to compliance standards. Larger companies with a greater online presence will have more attack vectors so they require more frequent pen tests. Our advice is to run at least one penetration test a year. Alternatively, you can outsource penetration testing services if you lack expertise with this.
How does ethical hacking differ from penetration testing?
Ethical hacking is an umbrella term that includes all hacking methods used to identify vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by cybercriminals. Penetration testing is one subset of all ethical hacking techniques.
How does your company conduct pen testing?
Penetration testing consists of the following stages:
1. Planning and data gathering. Here, we choose the relevant testing approaches, gather the necessary data, and try to figure out the system’s weaknesses.
2. Scanning. This step of security penetration testing will reveal the system’s response to intrusion attempts.
3. Gaining access. This is part of penetration services when we perform cyber attacks to unveil the system's vulnerabilities and the damage they cause.
4. Maintaining access. This step is necessary to check if the threat can stay in the system until it steals the company's sensitive data.
5. Reporting results. At last, our penetration testing company sums up all the findings into a detailed report. It will help improve your app's security system, boosting its resilience to future attacks.
