External Penetration Testing


An external vulnerability assessment replicates the actions of an external attacker striving to infiltrate an internal network without any insider knowledge or access to internal resources. At Barkrum, our skilled Cybersecurity Specialists undertake this role meticulously. They conduct open-source intelligence gathering, seeking sensitive information such as employee data and historical breached passwords that might be exploited against external systems to gain entry into the internal network. Additionally, the Cybersecurity Specialist performs thorough scanning and enumeration to identify potential vulnerabilities with the aim of assessing your organizations susceptibility to exploitation. This meticulous approach ensures a comprehensive evaluation of the network's security resilience against external threats
