Penetration Testing | Virginia Beach

Preventative Cyber Security Services

For Virginia Beach business owners, digital hackers have become larger and larger threats. Whether you’re a small business owner by the oceanfront or running an enterprise downtown, your network could be vulnerable to devastating ransomware attacks.

Without up-to-date cyber security measures in place, your internal networks can be accessed and compromised in a matter of hours. As a result, malicious actors can obtain your company data and personal information and use them to damage your reputation and livelihood.

Don’t let your Virginia Beach business become a target. NTS offers preventative penetration testing for businesses looking to understand how to protect themselves from digital threats.

Through extensive vulnerability tests, our security experts use a variety of software and hardware to discover your cyber security weak spots and then advise on how best to fortify them.

Comprehensive Cyber Security Network Testing For Your Virginia Beach Business

Cyber security is the process of proactively protecting your digital networks, hardware and software from bad actors looking to access your business’s private information.

Your cyber security can take many different forms, be it password-protected software, firewalls on your network or secured hardware. But every aspect of your digital security process must be tested for consistency and effectiveness.

Hackers are learning new techniques all the time and, unless your security processes are up to date, you could become a target before you even realize the damage is done.

This is where penetration testing with NTS comes in. Your network will be put through the cyber security gauntlet. Through our comprehensive methods, including active ethical hacking, decoding software and utilizing hardware knowledge, your network will be thoroughly analyzed for vulnerabilities.

You’ll receive a detailed report clearly showing what problems exist, their severity and how to resolve them in a cost-effective manner.

By working with our certified professional IT experts, you can ensure your network is tested to its limit and then given the strength to defend itself.

CIA Triad Designed to Protect What Matters Most

Our cyber security experts come with a wealth of knowledge about digital security. When conducting our penetration tests, we follow what is known as the CIA Triad.

This model is designed to serve as a base for all cyber security policies and testing.

The goal is that your cyber security process protects these three areas of your business:

Confidentiality: Guarding information by restricting access to authorized users and services.
Integrity: Dictating that sensitive data has not been modified or deleted without authorized approval.
Availability: Ensuring that authorized users have timely and reliable access to important information.

This foundational model is used to ensure your brand and reputation are protected from cyber risk.

By keeping these goals in mind during our penetration tests, we can validate these specific areas and help you to better protect your data and business goals.

Customized Testing Methods to Suit Your Needs

NTS offers different types of pen-tests to suit your security needs. These vary in intensity and process but they are all done meticulously and thoroughly. You’ll get accurate results that can help prevent a future cyberattack.

Designed to reflect a real-world attack, Black Box penetration testing finds vulnerabilities in your network from the same vantage point as an outsider. It mirrors how an external source would access your network and comprise your business.

This scan takes place without credentials and probes the environment without the ability to log into the systems. Results are limited to what can be found via the open ports and weaknesses in the configuration of the devices.

This is the same “view” an attacker would have if they simply plugged into an open port on your network and did not have a user/admin account.

This method does not reveal potential vulnerabilities such as unpatched third-party applications, authentication issues and other network-level configuration issues that could affect the security of the network.

Gray box testing is considered non-intrusive and unbiased because it does not require that the tester have access to the source code. That’s why it’s often called “cooperative pen testing.”

With respect to internal processes, gray box testing treats a program as a black box that must be analyzed from the outside. During a gray box test, the person may know how the system components interact but not have detailed knowledge about internal program functions and operations.

A clear distinction exists between the developer and the tester, thereby minimizing the risk of personnel conflicts.

White Box Penetration Testing allows NTS’s team full access to your network. With a comprehensive scan, you can know all the details about your security strengths and weaknesses.

An administrative account provided by the client provides access to Microsoft AD and other Key Systems on the network. NTS personnel do not need to know the password as the administrative team member can enter it directly into the scanner.

The benefit of trusted scanning is accuracy and thoroughness.

The scanner attaches to each workstation or server and performs an analysis of the registry, installed software and configuration of the device.

This is the most thorough method of analysis and results in the most accurate assessment of the environment.
