Penetration Testing

Catch the gaps in your cybersecurity before they catch you

Penetration Testing

Gaps in security are often easy to overlook. These gaps in security leave your business vulnerable to attacks from bad actors; this is why it’s so important to catch the gaps before they are exploited by cyber criminals.

Data breaches and other cybersecurity incidents can be extremely costly and difficult to bounce back from. With a penetration test, you can discover where the gaps are in your security, so you can remediate them before they are used against you.

We offer both physical and technology-based penetration testing, so you can make sure all of your security bases are covered. No more guessing whether your business technology is secure. Feel confident knowing you’re fully informed.

What is a penetration test?

In a penetration test with SKB Cyber, one of our cybersecurity experts (acting as a white hat hacker) attempts to break into your business information systems with the intention of finding vulnerabilities in your business information systems.

This may sound like a scary concept, but here are some things to keep in mind:

  • White hat hacking is purely ethical—our team won’t actually access or look at anything we aren’t supposed to.

  • We will only perform actions and access information that you agree to before starting the test.

    • Everything will be outlined in your contract and SLA before beginning.

  • This is completely voluntary and can be terminated at any point in the process if you withdraw consent.

Once we’re done, we’ll give you a full report including our findings and recommended actions to take based on the test results.

Physical vs. Technology-Based Penetration Testing


Physical Penetration Testing


An SKB Cyber team member attempts to enter:

  • A physical office location

  • Physical server or technology rooms

  • Anywhere where sensitive information could be kept (ex: a manager’s office)

What are we trying to find?

  • How easy is it to access this information as a stranger in the environment?

  • Any stray usernames and passwords

  • Can we gain physical access to your critical system infrastructure?

  • And more

Technology-Based Penetration Testing


An SKB Cyber team member attempts to enter:

  • Your critical systems via tools on an outside device

  • Any internal device (ex: an employee workstation)

  • Business’s internal network

What are we trying to find?

  • How easy is it to access this information from outside the environment via technical means?

  • Are there any vulnerabilities present?

  • How many vulnerabilities exist?
