CYATTACK
Automated network penetration testing for businesses
Find exploitable weaknesses in your network and decide what to fix first. CYATTACK is our automated network penetration testing service, with the scope, timing and reporting planned around your business systems.
Assess the weaknesses that could matter in an attack
A vulnerability list does not always show how an attacker could reach important systems. Penetration testing examines exploitable weaknesses within an authorised scope.
We define the test objectives, systems, exclusions and timing with you before testing begins.
Define the scope
Identify the network, systems and objectives to be included, together with any exclusions.
Understand the findings
Review the weaknesses found and what they could mean for your business.
Plan improvements
Use the results to prioritise remediation and discuss how fixes should be checked.
Turn test results into improvements
The results should show what needs changing, who will do it and how the fix will be checked. We explain the findings and help you prioritise the next steps.
Our CYATTACK manufacturing case study shows how automated testing helped a business identify weaknesses and plan action.
We also discuss whether automated network testing, manual testing or another assessment best fits your objectives.
Connect testing with ongoing security
Testing provides evidence about an agreed environment at a particular time. Continuing to manage vulnerabilities and monitor for threats helps maintain protection as systems change.
Your questions answered
Is automated penetration testing the same as a vulnerability scan?
A vulnerability scan identifies potential weaknesses. Penetration testing assesses exploitable weaknesses within an authorised scope. We explain the proposed method and what the results will tell you before testing starts.
Will a test disrupt our business?
Testing can carry a risk of disruption. We review your systems and operational constraints, then agree the scope, timing and exclusions before work starts.
Does a successful test guarantee that we cannot be breached?
No. Testing can identify weaknesses in the agreed scope, but it cannot prove that every possible vulnerability or future threat has been removed. Use it alongside ongoing security management and recovery planning.
