Ethical Hacking

In the race to develop online services, networked hosts and underlying applications have often been deployed with minimal attention to security risks. The result is that most corporate sites are surprisingly vulnerable to hacking or industrial espionage. To test this, Ethical Hacking (sometimes referred to as Penetration Testing) is performed in conjunction with vulnerability scanning. Halock's "Red Team" of ethical hackers can perform an in-depth analysis of identified potential high risk vulnerabilities with the primary objective to gain access to sensitive data assets within the organization environment as a practical demonstration of what a malicious individual could accomplish. Many vulnerabilities, when viewed independently, do not pose a great risk to the organization. When these weaknesses are combined and placed in the hands of a skilled attacker, the result is often a breach. Understanding and resolving configuration and security issues helps prevent the organization from experiencing and having to disclose a real attack in the future.

Solution At-a-Glance:
  • Performed internally (internet accessible), externally (private), or both
  • Locate and identify responding hosts
  • Exploitation of identified vulnerabilities with the intent of gaining access to sensitive information assets
  • Detailed reporting of findings and risks including narrative scenarios that walk you through each step of the attack
  • Identify and document approaches and recommendations to resolve security vulnerabilities

Ethical Hacking Training:

In-depth, hands-on, ethical hacking training. Learn how to find and exploit vulnerabilities in systems and applications, and the corresponding methods for preventing such exploits.

Social Engineering:

It is generally agreed-upon that end users are the "weakest link" in security, and this principle is what makes social engineering possible. Social Engineering tests the effectiveness of the organization's policies and employee security awareness.
