Penetration Testing
Penetration Software Testing
Cyber threats continually evolve. To stay ahead, your business needs more than just basic protection; it needs insight. Arc offers in-depth penetration software testing to help uncover hidden vulnerabilities in your software, systems, and infrastructure before they can be exploited.
What is penetration testing?
Penetration software testing-or “pen testing”-is a controlled simulation of a cyber attack that helps evaluate how secure your systems and applications are by identifying vulnerabilities that might well be exploited by the attacker.
Our testing is designed to:
- Identify security vulnerabilities in various aspects: web applications, APIs, networks, and cloud platforms.
- Assess your ability to detect and respond to cyber incidents
- Help meet the compliance requirements of ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus and GDPR.
- Provide clear recommendations to reduce risk and improve resilience.
All testing is safely conducted without interfering with your daily operations.
What we test
Web and application testing: We test your web platforms, portals, and custom software for vulnerabilities such as input validation flaws, authentication weaknesses, and exposed data.
Network and infrastructure testing: Internal and external networks are tested for vulnerabilities in configuration, access controls, and patching.
Cloud environment assessments: Testing for common misconfigurations and access vulnerabilities in Microsoft 365, Azure, and hybrid environments.
Evaluation of remote access & VPN: The security analysis of the remote working system, including RDP, VPNs, and endpoint protection.
