Why Pratum's Penetration Testing Service?

Our Scoping Process

We help you plan a penetration test that meets your goals, ensuring that you get the most from your investment.

Our Human-Centered Approach

Just like real hackers, our pen testers use unpredictable methods that a vulnerability scan can't simulate.

Our Actionable Reports

We'll describe what each vulnerability means in your specific environment so you can make effective remediations.

Our Methodology

1 Penetration Testing Methodology Scoping and Pre-Engagement Define success criteria set, ground rules 2 Reconnaissance & Vulnerability Assessment information gathering and discovery, Device and OS enumeration, Port scanning and Network sniffing, vulnerability scanning, social engineering 3 Exploitation vulnerability verification, pivoting through system, elimination of false positives and false negatives 4 Organizing Findings analyze and consolidate findings, categorize findings according to standard such as OWASP Top 10 5 Reporting executive summary, technical report, recommended remediations 6 Validating return to confirm IT team's remediations eliminated risks

It was not a boilerplate, templated report that anyone could’ve produced. It was very insightful. The tools were not off the shelf, and Pratum used some very clever approaches just like the real bad guys do.

Providing Insight Into an Attacker's Mind

Pratum's team performs penetration testing remotely or on-site as needed. Our full range of services ensures that you have visibility to potential gaps throughout your environment.

Web Application Penetration Testing

Web applications provide an integral business function for many organizations, but they can also introduce risk. The apps often process and/or store sensitive information including credit cards, personal identifiable information (PII), and proprietary data. Pratum's web application penetration testers seek to obtain unauthorized access into web apps to gather sensitive information. This provides visibility into the risks associated with application vulnerabilities.

Network and Infrastructure Penetration Testing

Infrastructure penetration testing identifies security weaknesses in your network, as well as the devices within the network. Our testers identify flaws such as outdated software, missing patches, improper security configurations, weak communication algorithms, command injection, etc. Infrastructure penetration tests often include the testing of firewalls, switches, virtual and physical servers, and workstations.

Wireless Penetration Testing

Your wireless network may be susceptible to exterior signal bleeding. Pratum's wireless pen testing services focus on the discovery of wireless access points, attempting to enumerate weaknesses in the wireless infrastructure. After gaining access to the wireless network, Pratum’s penetration testers attempt to exploit weaknesses in your network to gain access to privileged areas and demonstrate the potential impact of a wireless network breach.

Social Engineering Services

Social engineering uses pretexting phone calls, email phishing tests, dumpster diving, and facility access to truly assess an organization’s security training and awareness practices. Pratum establishes the baseline security posture and makes recommendations for modifying and developing stronger policies and procedures.

Training: Security Awareness

  • Educating on security threats

Penetration Testing Client Blake Brown, Director, Information Technology of Baker Group

I thought they were just going to give us test results. But Pratum included what we needed to do to resolve the problems. That helped tremendously. I didn’t have to go do all my own research.
