External penetration testing
An external penetration test is a comprehensive security evaluation of an organization’s internet-facing systems, often referred to as the perimeter. These systems, which are directly accessible from the internet, form the first line of defense against cyber threats and are inherently more exposed, making them frequent targets for attackers. Given their high visibility, perimeter systems are at a heightened risk of being exploited if not properly secured.
At Invict, we perform rigorous assessments on your externally facing assets, including firewalls, web servers, VPNs, and any other public-facing infrastructure. Our highly skilled security experts go beyond automated scans by manually verifying vulnerabilities to ensure accuracy. Once vulnerabilities are identified, we assess their potential exploitability, simulating real-world attack scenarios to determine the severity and impact of each issue.
By adopting a proactive approach through external penetration testing, we help you identify and mitigate weaknesses before they can be exploited by malicious actors. This not only strengthens your perimeter defenses but also significantly reduces the risk of a successful cyber attack, ensuring that your most exposed systems remain secure and resilient.
Purple Team Exercises
At Invict, our Purple Team Exercises are designed to integrate offensive and defensive cybersecurity efforts, creating a seamless collaboration between your internal teams or external partners. This service brings together the expertise of both the Red Team (attackers) and the Blue Team (defenders) to improve detection, response, and prevention mechanisms in a controlled, iterative environment.
Our Purple Team Exercises are conducted by seasoned cybersecurity professionals with deep expertise in both offensive and defensive security. We utilize the latest tools, techniques, and methodologies to simulate real-world attacks, ensuring your organization is prepared for the ever-evolving cyber threat landscape. Our approach is customized to meet your specific security needs, and we work closely with your teams to provide actionable insights and foster a culture of continuous security improvement.
How Purple Team Exercises Work:
- Collaborative Testing: Our Red team testers simulates sophisticated attack methods, targeting your systems and networks, while the Blue Team actively monitors, detects, and responds to these simulated attacks. This dynamic interaction helps uncover weaknesses in both offensive tactics and defensive measures.
- Tailored Threat Scenarios: Our Purple Team exercises are customized to reflect the specific threats your organization faces, including Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), zero-day vulnerabilities, or targeted phishing campaigns.
- Continuous Feedback Loop: After each attack simulation, the Blue Team receives immediate feedback on how they performed, and the Red Team adapts their tactics based on the defensive measures encountered.
- Improved Detection & Response: Purple Team exercises help your Blue Team refine their detection capabilities by providing hands-on experience against known attack techniques. This leads to improved configuration of security tools such as SIEMs, EDRs, and firewalls, as well as more efficient incident response workflows.
- Enhanced Security Maturity: These exercises not only sharpen your team’s skills but also provide invaluable insights into gaps in your security architecture. By understanding how attackers breach defenses and how defenders can more effectively stop them, you’ll significantly enhance the maturity of your overall security program.
Web and Mobile Application Penetration Testing
At Invict, our Web and Mobile Application Penetration Testing services are designed to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers in your critical digital assets. As web and mobile applications become increasingly integral to business operations, ensuring their security is paramount to protecting sensitive data, maintaining user trust, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
