What is a penetration test?
A penetration test, also known as pentesting or penetration testing, is a simulated cyberattack on your IT systems, networks, and applications to identify vulnerabilities before actual attackers can exploit them. But what exactly is a penetration test? In this process, an tries to infiltrate your systems, similar to a hacker, to uncover and assess potential security gaps. If the tester has no prior knowledge of the systems to be tested, the procedure is also called a black box penetration test. In a grey box test, the tester has some information about the system to specifically uncover potential security gaps.
Why is the conduct of penetration tests so important for companies?
In today's digital landscape, IT security is of crucial importance, especially for companies. Businesses are exposed to various attacks and hacking attempts on a daily basis. Conducting penetration tests offers your company the opportunity to identify and fix security vulnerabilities early. This significantly reduces the risk of an actual attack. Especially critical systems and sensitive data can be effectively protected through penetration testing.
SecTepe HackSafe: Your Experts for Comprehensive IT Security and Penetration Testing
With the SecTepe HackSafe service, we offer a three-tiered approach to assessing the security of your IT infrastructure as a penetration test provider:
Phase 1 – Vulnerability Assessment
In the first phase, we identify vulnerabilities in your systems, networks, and applications using automated scans and manual checks. These are prioritized according to BSI standards to ensure that the most critical vulnerabilities are addressed first. By the way: Our team has an award in the Hall of Fame at BSI !
Phase 2 - Penetration Testing of Critical Components
Our experienced penetration testers perform targeted tests on the critical components of your IT infrastructure. By applying the OWASP Testing Methodology and the Penetration Testing Execution Standards, we check how well your systems withstand real threats.
This includes, among other things, a pentest of your web applications, during which we thoroughly examine the security of your web-based applications and services.
Phase 3 - Red Teaming
In this phase, our team simulates advanced, realistic attacks on your infrastructure to test your security measures and processes. This approach provides you with a comprehensive assessment of the security of your IT systems.
Detailed Reporting and Training
After each phase, you will receive from us a detailed report with the identified security gaps and concrete recommendations to improve your security. Additionally, we offer IT Security Training to inform your team about the best methods and strategies for IT security.

What is the difference between a penetration test and a vulnerability scan?
How is vulnerability scanning used for penetration testing?
The vulnerability management often begins with a vulnerability scan, which serves as a foundation for the subsequent penetration test. Automated scans identify potential security gaps. These insights are then used in the context of a penetration test to specifically verify vulnerabilities and simulate their exploitation by potential attackers.
The most common vulnerabilities found in penetration tests
In pentests, typical vulnerabilities are often uncovered, including insecure configurations, outdated software versions, and inadequately protected access. Also, network vulnerabilities, such as unsecured ports or vulnerable applications, are common results of a penetration test. These outcomes provide your company with valuable insights into where urgent action is needed.
The SecTepe penetration testing service offers a comprehensive and methodical approach to IT security by integrating proven methodologies such as OWASP and BSI to ensure a thorough and effective assessment and improvement of your security posture.
