CHALLENGE

Do you know how effectively your IT infrastructure is protected against potential cyber threats?

SOLUTION

Simulation of cyber attacks

By using proactive methods, we identify and attack security vulnerabilities before a malicious cybersecurity attack occurs and your company suffers significant damage.

Our comprehensive analysis identifies potential threats, offers specific security recommendations and ensures compliance with legal requirements to prevent reputational damage. Our security experts simulate realistic attacks on your systems, web applications, applications, IT infrastructures, mobile devices, IoT and OT as well as cloud systems to uncover vulnerabilities.

SECURITY TESTING SERVICES

“Our experienced IT security experts use realistic attack simulations and various techniques, tactics and tools to try to penetrate your systems, extract confidential information or compromise critical systems. The aim is to uncover vulnerabilities and potential points of attack in your web/applications, IT infrastructures, mobile devices, Internet of Things (IoT) and Operations Technology (OT). This gives you a valuable insight into the potential for success an attacker could have and how effective your current system defenses are.”

Thanks to the USP Penetration Test, you can find out how effective your current system defenses are.

Your indispensable benefit:

Identification of weak points
Evaluation of the threat potential
Detailed proposals for improving the safety level
Examination of legal requirements
Avoidance of reputational damage
Effective protection against costly data breaches
Recognize and identify potential for improvement

Different types of penetration tests

Depending on the level of knowledge of your IT systems, appropriate penetration tests can be applied:

Whitebox tests
Black box tests
Greybox tests
USP Vulnerability Scan - detection of vulnerabilities

While a penetration test aims to exploit vulnerabilities and assess the actual risk of attack, the vulnerability scan aims to identify known vulnerabilities without carrying out actual attack simulations. However, both methods are important and, in combination, help to increase the security of a system. The particular benefit of the vulnerability scan is that it is an automated process that recognises potential security gaps in your systems and creates a list of possible vulnerabilities. Our IT security specialists analyse the logged results and derive recommendations for measures, which are prioritised.

HIGHLIGHTS

Security status of your current system defense

Identify potential points of attack using realistic attack simulations and various techniques, tactics and tools to penetrate your systems. You will learn how effective your current system defenses are.

Realistic attack simulations

By using proactive methods, we identify and eliminate security gaps before a malicious cybersecurity attack occurs and your company suffers significant damage. Using realistic attack simulations, our security experts attempt to penetrate your systems. The aim is to uncover vulnerabilities and potential points of attack in your web/applications, IT infrastructures, mobile devices, Internet of Things (IoT) and Operations Technology (OT).

Red teaming

Red Teaming goes beyond exploiting vulnerabilities by evaluating the entire security strategy, including technical, procedural and human aspects. It focuses on testing an organization’s resilience to realistic attack scenarios by challenging and attempting to overcome defense mechanisms.

VULNERABILITY SCAN

Do you know your known security gaps and vulnerabilities? Let us identify known vulnerabilities in your IT systems, networks and applications.

The USP Vulnerability Scan creates a list of detected and known vulnerabilities. Our experts analyze the recorded results and derive recommendations for measures, which are prioritized. By protecting your IT resources in a targeted manner, you make it more difficult for professional cyber attackers and can therefore protect your IT resources in the long term.
