What Are Assumed Breach Penetration Tests?
Our Assumed Breach Penetration Testing helps you proactively prevent a security breach by reducing your attack surface and testing attacker methods.
What Are Assumed Breach Penetration Tests?
An Assumed Breach Penetration Test starts from the premise that an attacker has already gained a foothold in your network. From there, we systematically test how far that attacker could move laterally and what damage they could inflict. The goal is to uncover vulnerabilities before a real attacker exploits them and to provide you with actionable remediation guidance.
Beyond the technical attack surface, we also assess the effectiveness of your security controls. Can your systems detect malicious activity? How quickly and effectively does your team respond to incidents? These questions are at the core of our analysis.
Our Assumed Breach Pentests follow a proven best-practice methodology. We combine tool-based scanning with manual testing to give you a comprehensive picture of your security posture. The results help you identify, prioritize, and remediate vulnerabilities -- especially those an attacker could leverage to expand their reach or conceal their activities.
Prevent a Security Breach by Reducing Your Internal Attack Surface and Testing Potential Methods of Data Exfiltration
Studies show that attackers dwell undetected in corporate networks for an average of several months. This alarming timeline highlights how difficult it is for organizations to recognize an ongoing attack. During this window, attackers systematically bypass network segmentation and internal security controls -- including detection and response mechanisms -- to steal sensitive data and abuse system resources.
Our Assumed Breach Pentest helps you address these risks proactively. We provide the intelligence you need to identify, prioritize, and remediate exploitable vulnerabilities. At the same time, we evaluate the effectiveness of your existing security controls: Do your systems reliably detect malicious activity, and can your team respond quickly and appropriately?
turingpoint's Internal Penetration Test Is Effectively an Assumed Breach Pentest
An internal pentest is a security assessment that uncovers vulnerabilities within an organization's internal network. It is conducted from the perspective of an attacker who is already inside the perimeter -- making it essentially an Assumed Breach scenario. The objective is to identify weaknesses an attacker could exploit to access sensitive data or critical systems.
Our proven risk assessment approach is designed to minimize the potential for a successful attack. We systematically analyze your applications, systems, and services, enabling you to remediate vulnerabilities proactively. This strengthens your ability to detect and respond to security incidents quickly and effectively.
For all Assumed Breach Pentests, we follow a proven best-practice process, combining tool-based analysis with manual testing to deliver the best possible results.
