Key Benefits Of A External Network Penetration Test?

Using our skills in offensive security we will simulate a genuine attack on your external infrastructure. During the test, we will ensure there are no common or publicly known vulnerabilities in the target system at the time of the test. Alongside this, our consultant will also perform checks to ensure your external infrastructure is following best security practice.
