It’s true about this saying of “you need to fight fire with fire”. In the case of cybersecurity solutions, you need another certified hacker (penetration tester) to tackle the threatening hacker. So leverage on this professional expertise to create a robust and effective cybersecurity ecosystem, suited just for your digital assets.

What can penetration testers offer you?

In order to get ahead of an imminent cyber threat, it’s best to consult a professional company that offers both cybersecurity solutions and cyber intelligence tips. These valuable recommendations are usually provided by the company’s certified penetration testers, who have the expertise to perform Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) services on your network. Whether you’re trying to eliminate an emerging threat or tighten your safety measures, these testers will customise solutions for your business.

What happens during a VAPT service?

During a Vulnerability Assessment, penetration testers identify the vulnerabilities in your security system and deliver these insights in a prioritised list. This systematic approach is particularly valuable because you can sieve out the gaps that need your urgent attention and proceed to tackle them with the available resources.

From there on, a Penetration Test typically accompanies the Vulnerability Assessment for a comprehensive examination of your IT infrastructures. With an invasive approach, the discovered vulnerabilities are tested and exploited. But rest assured that the exploitation comes in the form of a controlled and simulated cyber-attack, with the sole purpose to gain exclusive access to your networks.

Hence, by coupling the Vulnerability Assessment and the Penetration Test, keeping an eye on your digital assets is made easier. You can take a back seat while the experts seek out the tiniest gaps you might have overlooked, and re-evaluate your security posture efficiently.

Why hire penetration testers for VAPT?

1. Be smart in tackling your security vulnerabilities

The usage of technology and IoT devices has been increasing rapidly on a daily basis. From smart home security systems to health monitoring systems, it has become easier to collect, store and use data. However, this comes at a price as well: IT networks have become more vulnerable.

Besides that, if you have had to shift your business online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it might be challenging to secure your data without sufficient time and resources to be wary of emerging threats. Fortunately, an in-depth evaluation from VAPT reports, as delivered by your certified penetration tester, can tell you which cyber-risks come as a priority. Being able to manage your risks needs to be part of your company’s strategy, in keeping the business afloat.

2. Allow you to cover more ground in your IT systems

Additionally, cyber-attacks can occur from loopholes in coding or other misconfiguration practices. Hence, it’s crucial to engage a trained professional who is able to perform exhaustive and current cybersecurity tests to uncover any overlooked vulnerabilities.

To receive a thorough examination, look into professionals that are certified in both Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing. Once the Vulnerability Assessment has been completed, you would receive an efficient follow up with the Penetration Test; a crucial step in this ever-changing cyber landscape. The penetration testers can then easily exploit the extent of the identified risks from the Vulnerability Assessment.

3. Keeps your business up with the fast-changing cyber landscape

Along with the advancement in digital technologies, there has been an unfortunate rise in phishing scams. As such, engaging the help of an accredited cybersecurity company, for instance, one that is CREST certified in Singapore, has been proven useful. Not only will these accredited professionals ensure that their VAPT offerings are of high standards, but their services are strictly surveyed – with the need to undergo a certification renewal once every three years.
