Rapid increase in technology and absence of controls or implemented Best Practices has made organizations IT networks vulnerable. Technical, procedural and compliance vulnerabilities exist in organizations that can be exploited by an insider/outsider to gain the access of the organization’s information assets. Organizations must check their IT systems for these unknown vulnerabilities and take appropriate measures to mitigate these vulnerabilities.

Penetration testing is a process of measuring the security of an organization through an attack simulation.

The intent of a penetration test is to determine feasibility of an attack and the amount of business impact of a successful exploit, if discovered. A penetration test identifies the extent to which a system can be compromised before an actual determined attack takes place. These test results reveal security lapses within the IT infrastructure of an organization. Only a real penetration test carried out by qualified personnel can simulate what would happen if a determined hacker were to attack an organization.
Benefits of penetration testing are as follows:

TISS applies its unique methodology to pen testing whereby combinations of different tools and techniques are used to get access to the system. We also partner with Core Securities whose product Core Impact is the best available pen testing solution. The pen testing software brings the benefits of ease of use as well as recovery of systems to their normal state after pen testing.
