Quick Testing: Infrastructure Penetration Testing

Testing internal and external attack surfaces across networks and systems

 
01

Focus on reachable and trust-relevant parts of the infrastructure

  • External perimeter (internet-facing services, exposed interfaces)
  • Internal network segments (including assumed breach scenarios where applicable)
  • Core systems and supporting services (authentication, management interfaces)
  • Network segmentation and trust boundaries
 
02

Controlled attack scenarios reflecting real adversary behavior

  • Enumeration and service interaction to identify weak entry points
  • Exploitation of vulnerabilities and misconfigurations
  • Credential access and privilege escalation attempts
  • Lateral movement across network segments
  • Technique mapping to MITRE ATT&CK for transparency and coverage

Guided by PTES and NIST SP 800-115 to ensure structured and repeatable execution.

 
03

Output reflects validated weaknesses

  • Exploitable vulnerabilities with supporting evidence
  • End-to-end attack paths demonstrating how access can be expanded
  • Identification of control gaps (segmentation, authentication, hardening)
  • Clear indication of what was achievable under realistic conditions
 
04

Provides practical input

  • ISO/IEC27001control effectiveness (e.g., access control, network security)
  • NIST CSF capability validation across Identify/Protect/Detect
  • CISControls verification (secure configuration, access control, monitoring)
  • Regulatory expectations under DORA and NIS2 for resilience and risk visibility
