External vs. Internal Penetration Testing

Both internal and external penetration testing are essential to a comprehensive security assessment strategy. Internal penetration testing focuses on identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities from within the organization's network, protecting against insider threats and breaches from compromised internal systems.

In contrast, external penetration testing targets internet-facing assets, identifying weaknesses that external attackers could exploit. It helps ensure a robust security posture and safeguard your assets from a wide range of potential threats.

External Penetration Testing

External Penetration Testing

The main focus is on internet-facing assets such as web servers, email servers, and other external systems.

Identify and exploit vulnerabilities the external attackers could target.

The scope of external pen testing includes publicly accessible systems and services.

Penetration testers conduct it remotely, simulating real-world external attacks outside the organization.

Protects against unauthorized access from outside the organization.

Identifies vulnerabilities in systems exposed to the internet.

Enhances the security of the organization's perimeter defenses.

Internal Penetration Testing

Internal Penetration Testing

Focuses on the security of internal networks and systems within the organization.

Identify and exploit vulnerabilities that could be targeted by internal threats or attackers who have breached the perimeter.

The scope of internal pen testing includes internal servers, workstations, network devices, and other internal infrastructure.

Pen testers conduct it on-site or via remote access, simulating attacks from within the organization.

Protects against insider threats and breaches from compromised internal systems.

Identifies vulnerabilities in internal processes and configurations.

Enhances the overall security of the organization's internal network.

TechMagic's Approach to External Pen Testing

TechMagic's Approach 
to External Pen Testing

Step 1

Preparation

The preparation stage of an external penetration test is crucial for setting the foundation of the testing process. This phase involves defining the scope, objectives, and methodologies for pen testing.

This stage includes discussing the objectives, understanding the desired outcomes, defining the scope of testing engagement, and developing a detailed roadmap for the penetration test.

It is critical to ensure that the client and the testing team are on the same page regarding expectations and goals. We carefully gather information to make the pen test thorough, targeted, and aligned with your security needs.

Step 2

Penetration test

Here, the pen tester actively probes the target system for vulnerabilities and attempts to exploit them. We choose the proper external penetration testing tools and techniques suited to your specific needs.

Our certified penetration testers analyze your security posture using both automated (vulnerability scanning) and manual techniques. They actively attempt to breach the system to understand the potential impact of these weaknesses and the scope of damage they could cause.

Step 3

Reporting and remediation

This phase is crucial for translating the external penetration test findings into actionable steps to enhance your organization's security posture.

Here, our tester compiles a detailed and concise report documenting all the findings. In most cases, it includes a list of all vulnerabilities discovered during the test, Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) scores, sensitive information that the tester was able to access, the duration for which the tester remained undetected within the system, etc.

If the vulnerabilities are fixed within the engagement period, the security team can retest your system to ensure the fixes are effective.

Step 4

Results overview

We can verify the fixes and patches that have been implemented. We will give you the letter of attestation with the information about the conducted penetration test results. You can demonstrate it to your users and stakeholders to show your commitment to security.

Benefits of External Penetration Testing

Benefits of External 
Penetration Testing
1

Identifying critical vulnerabilities

External penetration testing helps uncover security weaknesses in your systems that might otherwise go unnoticed. These could include misconfigurations, outdated components, or code bugs that attackers could exploit.

2

Preventing data breaches and mitigating risks

External pen test helps identify and address weaknesses that can cause data breaches, Denial-of-Service (DoS), or ransomware attacks. Such a proactive approach is crucial for protecting sensitive information, maintaining customer trust, and avoiding costly legal repercussions. We provide every client with an external penetration testing checklist to ensure that all the insights are documented.

3

Enhancing security posture

Regular penetration testing allows you to assess the state and efficiency of external perimeter security controls (firewalls, remote access systems, etc.). We provide recommendations to improve security policies and update protections based on the insights we receive.

4

Cost-effective security improvement

Investing in such proactive and well-planned assessments is more cost-effective than fixing the consequences of a security breach. At TechMagiс, we guarantee that every our external pentest gives a clear idea of where to allocate resources for maximum protection and risk mitigation, ensuring effective use of security budgets.

5

Meeting compliance requirements

Many industries have strict regulatory requirements for security. External penetration testing helps companies meet these requirements by documenting their security and compliance efforts. In most cases, compliance requires a pentest (PCI); in others, an external pentest is the essential step on your way to achieving compliance (GDPR, ISO 27001, HIPAA, etc.).

6

Preventing reputational damage

We use best practices and external penetration testing tools so that our clients can immediately fix security gaps. This allows necessary precautions to be taken before threats to compromise systems and data arise. So the reputation of your company and brand is also protected from damage.
