Penetration testing services
Sensitive information requires a high level of protection. The client needed to undergo penetration testing to discover potential vulnerabilities and security issues within their information systems and applications.
NCS utilised a combination of tools and techniques to simulate cybercriminal behaviour, thereby ensuring the robustness of the client’s systems thereafter.
Key takeaways
- Conducted comprehensive penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities across network and application systems.
- Delivered actionable remediation recommendations prioritised by risk level.
- Strengthened the client’s overall security posture prior to system rollout and ongoing operations.
The challenge
The client required professional assistance to test the adequacy of security controls deployed within their IT environment and evaluate the security level of their information systems and applications.
The regulatory requirement was that the information systems and applications remain highly secure to protect sensitive information.
The solution
NCS performed the penetration test in accordance with industry best practices, ethical hacking methodologies (such as PTES) and models, while keeping within the time frame and budget.
The vulnerabilities identified and the remediation recommendations were then prioritised by risk level for follow-up actions.
The impact
The penetration test delivered actionable recommendations for the client to improve the security posture of their network and application systems before rolling them out, while continuous testing was conducted to ensure the systems remained secure moving forward.
