Our expertise and past experience in penetration testing makes us trusted penetration testing partner. By utlizing our penetration testing services, an organization can baseline its current security posture, identify threats and weaknesses, and start implementing remediation strategies. By identifying risk exposures and highlighting what resources are needed to correct them, we provide not only the basis for a security action plan, but also the compelling events, due diligence and partner interface protocols necessary to establish information security as a key corporate initiative. Torrid’s penetration testing services provide the best information security portfolio to its clients using its intellectual capital and expertise.

A penetration test offers an invaluable and compelling way to establish a baseline assessment of security as seen from outside the boundaries of the organization’s network. More importantly, we provide a blueprint for remediation in order to start or enhance a comprehensive information protection strategy.

Penetration Testing Approach and Process

Penetration testing simulates covert and hostile network attack activities in order to identify specific exploitable vulnerabilities and to expose potential entryways to vital or sensitive data that, if discovered and misused by a malicious individual, could pose increased risk and liability to the organization, its executives and shareholders. Our qualified security consultants perform penetration tests attempt to gain access to online assets and company resources through the network, servers and desktops, from either the internal or external perspective, much like an intruder would. These results clearly articulate security issues and recommendations and create a compelling event for the entire management team to support a security program.

At Torrid Networks, our penetration testing services provide a more complete view of the IT infrastructure security. Testing is performed from a number of network access points, representing each logical and physical segment. Penetration testing is conducted with the help of automated scanners, custom scripts followed by in-depth manual security testing against various network components. We follow time proven industry standard procedures towards penetration testing as follows highlighted below:

Our assessment covers full range of the threat spectrum, from the presence of an antivirus engine to the presence of malicious code to vulnerabilities that might enable denial of service and other sophisticated attacks. We follow robust methodologies, use products that carries the most up to-date vulnerability research available, and they must possess creative instincts to manipulate the tools in both typical and unconventional ways. Finally we deliver clear, unambiguous results that address both the technical and business objectives of the client.
