Latitude performs cybersecurity penetration testing to cover every aspect of your business.
Penetration Testing
Network Penetration Testing
Penetration tests, or “pen tests,” reveal weaknesses in systems, application configurations, and network infrastructure. Most pen testing identifies critical or high-severity vulnerabilities, making it a vital component of a robust cybersecurity strategy.
Many organizations think they’re doing pen testing but are just getting vulnerability scans. Vulnerability scans are an automated process, while penetration testing is a manual, in-depth assessment done by skilled testers in an attempt to exploit these vulnerabilities and determine their real-world impact.
Latitude performs penetration tests in which we attempt to breach application systems, such as an application programming interface (API) or a frontend/backend server, to uncover vulnerabilities. Our pen testers specialize in the system being tested to ensure thorough and accurate assessment of its specific vulnerabilities and security posture.
This approach allows us to deliver detailed, meaningful, and actionable reports for companies to determine what remediation they need to take to secure their infrastructure and maintain compliance.
Application Penetration Testing
Application penetration testing is available for both mobile and web apps. It aims to identify vulnerabilities that, if exploited, could allow an attacker to access an organization’s applications. Web and mobile application testing identifies inherent weaknesses in applications or vulnerable routes in the infrastructure. It also identifies the ever-expanding list of network vulnerabilities, which may include unpatched internal systems, SQL injections, and weak password policies, among others. The simulated attacks used in pen testing allow us to evaluate the strength of your system’s security, find vulnerabilities, and fix them.
API Testing
Any organization that uses mobile or web applications with an API backend should conduct API penetration testing regularly. API security is an important aspect of application security. An API penetration test replicates the actions of an internal or external attacker attempting to harm an organization’s resources by targeting a specific set of API endpoints. This test offers the client ways to protect vulnerabilities from attackers.
- What’s the difference between a penetration test and a vulnerability scan?
- Will the penetration test disrupt my operations?
- How often should I conduct pen testing on my systems and applications?
Vulnerability scans are automated checks for known weaknesses. Pen tests are manual, in-depth assessments where experts try to exploit vulnerabilities. Scans detect and list issues, while pen tests simulate real attacks to evaluate impact.
Before Latitude conducts the penetration test, we will work with the client to establish the rules of engagement (ROE). This will establish testing parameters to ensure that testing will be conducted with little to no disruption.
In a best-case scenario, we recommend continuous monitoring, but we know this is not always feasible with budgets. Latitude recommends annual testing at an absolute minimum or after significant changes are made to the environment.
Network Penetration Test
There are several methods for performing network penetration testing, each with its own function and methodology. We offer penetration testing services that cover all areas of your business, and they can be customized to get the most accurate analysis.
External Network
Evaluates the security of publicly accessible network components, identifying vulnerabilities that external attackers could exploit.
Internal Network
Assesses the security posture of an organization’s internal network to uncover potential threats posed by internal actors and compromised devices.
Wireless Network
Examines the security of wireless networks, detecting weaknesses in encryption, authentication, and access controls to prevent unauthorized access.
Web Application
Analyzes web applications for common vulnerabilities such a s SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and security misconfigurations to protect sensitive data.
Mobile Application
Reviews mobile apps for security flaws, ensuring they’re resistant to attacks targeting data storage, communications, and user interactions on mobile devices.
APIs
Tests the security of application programming interfaces (APIs) to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited to access or manipulate backend systems and data.
Targeted
Focuses on specific assets or threats based on an organization’s unique risk profile, providing a tailored approach to uncover and address critical security issues.
Attack Surface Continuous Monitoring
Latitude provides continuous scans and monitoring for an organization’s digital assets to identify and mitigate emerging vulnerabilities, ensuring proactive defense against evolving cyber threats.
Web Application Vulnerability Scanning
Our team can complete scans of web applications to detect security weaknesses and vulnerabilities, providing insights for timely remediation for protection against potential attacks.
