Intrusion Testing Service Components

Red Team Exercises

Red teaming is an advanced form of penetration testing that simulates a real-world, multi-faceted cyber attack over an extended period. Our red team uses a combination of digital, physical, and social engineering tactics to test your organization's overall security posture. This holistic approach helps you understand how well your defenses can withstand a coordinated attack and identify areas for improvement.

Purple Team Exercises

Purple teaming is a collaborative approach that combines the strengths of red teaming (attackers) and blue teaming (defenders). Our purple team works alongside your security team to simulate attacks and defenses in real-time, sharing insights and improving tactics. This continuous feedback loop enhances your organization's ability to detect, respond to, and mitigate threats effectively.

External Network Testing

External Network intrusion testing simulates attacks from outside the organization to identify vulnerabilities in your external-facing systems and networks. Our ethical hackers attempt to breach your defenses from an outsider's perspective, revealing weaknesses that could be exploited by real attackers. We provide detailed reports with recommendations to strengthen your external security posture.

Internal Network Testing

Internal network intrusion testing involves simulating an attacker who has already gained access to your internal network. This type of testing identifies vulnerabilities that could be exploited from within your organization, such as misconfigurations, weak passwords, and insufficient access controls. Our findings help you secure your internal network against insider threats and compromised accounts.

Web App & API Testing

Hera's Web Application / API intrusion testing focuses on identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities within your web applications, including progressive web apps (PWAs), single page apps (SPAs), and more. Our team of ethical hackers use advanced techniques to find flaws such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and authentication bypasses. We provide a comprehensive report detailing the vulnerabilities discovered and offer remediation steps to secure your web applications.

Mobile App Testing

Mobile application penetration testing evaluates the security of your mobile apps on various platforms (iOS, Android). Our experts identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited to access sensitive data or gain unauthorized control over the app. We test for issues such as insecure data storage, weak authentication, and improper session handling, providing recommendations to secure your mobile applications.

Cloud Security Testing

Cloud security penetration testing evaluates the security of your cloud infrastructure and services. Our testers identify vulnerabilities in cloud configurations, access controls, and data storage practices. We offer insights and remediation strategies to enhance the security of your cloud environment and protect sensitive data from unauthorized access.

Social Engineering

Social Engineering intrusion testing assesses your organization's vulnerability to attacks that exploit human behavior. Our experts conduct simulated phishing campaigns, pretexting, and other social engineering techniques to gauge your employees' susceptibility. We provide insights into the effectiveness of your security awareness training and offer strategies to improve your defenses against social engineering attacks.

Privilege Escalation

Privilege Escalation testing is designed to identify vulnerabilities within your systems that could allow attackers to gain elevated access to sensitive data or administrative controls. By simulating an attacker who has already gained basic access, we explore how weaknesses in permissions, configurations, or software can be exploited to increase privileges. This service helps you secure your internal systems by uncovering hidden risks and implementing stricter controls to prevent unauthorized access to critical assets.
