Attack and Penetration Services

Overview – Attack and Penetration Services

Hack yourself before your adversaries do! Continually testing your defenses and identifying defensive gaps is an essential cybersecurity function of every business. OSI Digital has a catalog of testing and assessment services to help you identify and remediate weaknesses in your security posture. We look forward to speaking with you about strengthening your defenses and protecting your business from impactful cyber incidents.

BREACH & ATTACK SIMULATION

FIND YOUR VULNERABILITIES BEFORE A HACKER DOES!

Penetration testing has evolved over the years to include more comprehensive and automated attack simulation capabilities known as Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS). Originally, breaching the corporate perimeter and capturing a shiny object or flag buried somewhere in your infrastructure was the objective. Now, BAS services can provide broader and more comprehensive simulated attacks to efficiently test multiple attack vectors, entry points, networks, and even several types of credential attacks.

OSI Digital’s BAS service tests the effectiveness of multiple security controls across multiple networks rather than a single path that leads to “capturing the flag”. No longer is the question, “can they get in?” but rather, “how many of my controls are weak or outright failing?” Our BAS service performs many objective tests to help answer questions surrounding the effectiveness of your security controls.

BAS services can be performed in stealth mode or planned with a blue team enabling additional testing of your IR plans, playbooks, and SOC services. While BAS services use the same tools, tactics, and techniques hackers use, they are non-destructive and production system safe.

VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT & PEN TESTING

VAPT is just what it says it is, Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing.

Each discipline answers different cybersecurity questions. Pen testing asks, “can a threat actor break into my network and exploit a vulnerability ?” while Vulnerability Assessments ask, “what are [all] my vulnerabilities ?”

Both pen testing and vulnerability assessments are important, and while OSI Digital performs both, the approaches are different. Pen testing is an ethical hacking service requiring significant human ingenuity to figure out how to break into a network or system. The penetration tester will find and exploit only a handful of vulnerabilities. Vulnerability scanning attempts to find all possible vulnerabilities, cite their criticality, and then plan and execute remediation, patching or even security architecture changes as appropriate. While pen testing and vulnerability scanning accomplish different goals, doing both in the same engagement is more effective and produces stronger security posture outcomes.

OSI Digital has experts who can help you determine your vulnerabilities and map out plans to remediate them. OSI Digital can perform pen tests on software, APIs, websites, systems, and networks. Our penetration tests can target specific systems or take a broader approach with a breach and attack simulation (BAS) service that finds many flaws and weaknesses (see our BAS service here).

SECURITY POSTURE
ASSESSMENT

OSI Digital performs comprehensive security posture assessments to help organizations understand the effectiveness and resilience of their cybersecurity controls. This process can uncover vulnerabilities and potential risks that scanners cannot such as unimplemented and disabled security features.

We take the time to understand your industry, organization, key business functions, critical infrastructure, and operating environments. We use a threat-based approach to identify your security controls inventory and evaluate their existence and effectiveness against proper cybersecurity risk frameworks. This highly effective process discovers control gaps and evaluates their risks providing a true and actionable assessment of your cybersecurity posture. It is much more than running external and internal vulnerability scans and conducting some security awareness testing. Here is a sample approach:

What are your critical systems and information assets? How are they used to support your business processes? And more importantly, how effective are your security controls that protect your critical infrastructure assets, information assets, and business service assets?
Focusing on relevant threats, we apply effective threat modeling techniques, simulate an attack, and assess if your controls will detect or prevent an attack.
We perform standard risk assessments to help quantify impact and single loss expectancy in the event of a cyber incident such as a ransomware attack.
We leverage the best cybersecurity frameworks and benchmarks to ensure a comprehensive picture of your security posture is produced.
We see a lot of partially implemented security tools. To find control gaps we perform shelf-ware and misconfiguration assessments on your security tools.
We examine your data governance and information classification controls to help identify weaknesses and improvement opportunities with loss prevention, entitlement management, and data encryption.
We examine your ISMS / Security Program for oversight effectiveness, compliance, and requisite executive sponsorship.
We examine tools and processes to evaluate network security, access security, and system configurations.
We can look at your vendor or 3rd party risk management program, perform basic vendor security scans, check federation and SSO controls, and vendor SOC2 or other security assessments to help identify supply chain risks.
