Updating passwords and firewalls every month is not enough to keep your company safe. Cybersecurity testing needs to be carried out to analyse your security systems, pinpoint flaws and update and renew where necessary. Through vulnerability assessments, we can identify and mitigate potential cybersecurity threats. By carrying out system checks and infrastructural scans, any weaknesses can be tackled instantaneously.

Apart from internal testing mechanisms, external measures would also help in identifying weak spots in your security structures. Penetration testing is one such exercise we carry out at PTL to detect flaws. Also referred to as ‘pentesting’, this is a simulated cyberattack which is commissioned by a company to analyse the security of its IT infrastructure. Its function is to unearth any vulnerabilities or misconfigurations which can be targeted by hackers and through which data can be exploited. Described as ‘ethical hacking’, it is an authorised external intrusion on a company’s APIs, frontend and backend servers, with the underlying aim to boost cybersecurity mechanisms and make them less susceptible to a cyberattack.

Penetration testing can determine the level of damage a breach would impinge on the company, the type and volume of data which can be stolen and the access restrictions which can be hurdled. It can also indicate the time it would take for the attack to be intercepted, and to be completely erased from the system.

Regardless of the robustness of your security solutions, your IT infrastructure can still be susceptible to an unprecedented cyberattack. At PTL, we can help you develop incident response services in case of such breaches. Apart from preventive solutions, we’re putting more emphasis on detection solutions. Our certified employees will help you produce a clearly-defined incident response plan which is comprehensive, will assist in the establishment of proper communication channels and will make sure the plan is apprehended by all employees.
