Penetration Testing
Determine the Strength of Your Network Security with Penetration Testing
Penetration testing is a simulated cyberattack and a form of ethical hacking. A penetration test attempts to infiltrate an organization’s security defenses to find any vulnerabilities that can be exploited. Completing a penetration test is a good way to simulate threats applied to your unique environment.
Penetration testing is often prescribed as part of a comprehensive Security Risk Assessment (SRA). It is recommended that a penetration test be performed at least annually to mark improvements in reducing risk and to accommodate evolving vulnerabilities.

Success Stories with
Proven Results
Helping you solve IT challenges through strategic staffing and consulting
Tego performed a comprehensive, multi-phased penetration test to evaluate a North Carolina County’s perimeter, web applications, internal network (on-site), and wireless environment. The engagement simulated real-world attacker behavior to identify exploitable weaknesses, demonstrate potential business impact, and deliver prioritized remediation guidance for both technical staff and executive stakeholders.The Advisory Services team conducted external and internal penetration testing, web application testing, and wireless testing. The team provided a detailed report along with a non-technical executive summary and Rules of Engagement (ROE).Tego’s approach combines real-world attacker techniques, on-site validation (dropbox appliance + wireless testing), and clear, role-specific reporting so both engineers and executives can act quickly, reducing exposure and improving the County’s security posture with prioritized, practical fixes.

The Tego Approach
Tego understands the value of simulating an attack on an environment in prioritizing cyber risk. When properly executed, a penetration test will yield results that properly identify highest priority risks facilitating effective investment in mitigating solutions. Our approach aligns with the guidance provided by NIST 800-115.
Internal Penetration Testing assumes an adversary has gained a foothold in the environment and proceeds through a simulated attack: gaining a foothold/access, escalation of privileges, environment observations and the installation of additional tools to prove risk to the confidentiality, integrity and availability of protected data.
External Penetration Testing evaluates an environment’s perimeter for vectors through which an adversary may gain access to the environment. Popular vectors to be tested include remote access services and common vulnerabilities found in the software of devices protecting the environment from outsiders.
Web/Social Engineering Penetration Testing test your users by trying to convince them to take an action that will allow an adversary to circumvent technical protections intended to thwart an attack. Your users are your biggest risk and this test will help determine gaps in training.
