5 Stages Penetration Testing Services Follow That You Must Know

Penetration Testing services observe a certain 5 step method to conduct the Pen Test and do a vulnerability assessment. It is better to understand these stages to know how your website or system would undergo a Pen Test. Check out the 5 stages here Penetration testing services

Commonly known as Pen test, Penetration Testing services follow a specific procedure for conducting the Pen Test and do vulnerability assessment. Penetration Testing services help to conduct vulnerability assessment in your system, software, website or an application to determine whether unauthorized access or other malicious activity is possible. It is a necessary process to avoid security flaws that may violate the integrity of the system and software which further may lead data to be compromised through vulnerable cross points.

Penetration Testing Service is generally used to augment the Web Application Firewall. Penetration testing and vulnerability assessment involves five stages primarily followed to ensure the process concludes that the final target is achieved. A Penetration Testing service provider company follows a set of steps explained below:

Planning and Research :
The first stage is to define the extent of area and aims of the test to be conducted. The systems involved, the softwares included and the methods of testing to be used. Researching and exploring the areas like network, domain names, servers, etc is necessary to understand the working of a targe and its potential susceptibilities.

Scanning:
At this stage, it is crucial to understand the working of the target application and how it will respond to various attempts of intervention. There are two ways to do this i.e. Static Analysis and dynamic analysis. In static analysis, the tester inspects an application’s code to estimate the way it performs while running through tools which scan the entire code in a single pass. Dynamic analysis is the inspection of application code in a running state. As it provides a real-time view into an application’s behavior.

Gaining access:
The third stage certain web application attacks to discover target vulnerabilities. An expert team of pen tester tries to exploit such vulnerabilities by various methods like intercepting traffic, stealing the data, increasing the privileges, etc, in order to figure out the damage an actual intervention can cause.

Maintenance:
It is absolutely important to make sure the penetration risk should be minimum and perceived threats should be avoided for the maximum period. This stage checks if the exposure can be used to achieve a persistent presence in the exploited system for long so that the hackers cannot gain an access. This stage is focused on advanced long-term incessant threats which stay in the system for a long-term to fetch the complete data continuously.

Analysis:
In the end, a report is compiled which shows details of the amount of data that was accessed, specific exposures were exploited during the test, the time period the tester was able to remain in the system undetected. This report helps the cybersecurity experts to improve and integrate the web application firewall settings and other applications security solutions fill the porous gateways and create a better protection against the infiltrators.
