Network & Infrastructure Penetration Testing

Your network is the terrain an attacker moves through once they get a foothold. We test the full path — from an anonymous internet position through the perimeter, into internal lateral movement and privilege escalation — to show exactly how far a real intrusion would reach.

What network and infrastructure testing covers

External network penetration testing enumerates and validates your internet-facing attack surface — exposed services, weak credentials and misconfigurations an attacker could exploit from outside. Internal network penetration testing starts from an assumed-breach position to test lateral movement, privilege escalation and segmentation. Wireless penetration testing assesses corporate and guest Wi-Fi for weak authentication and rogue-AP exposure. Firewall and configuration review audits your rule-bases against hardening benchmarks. And IoT device penetration testing covers the full ecosystem of connected products, from firmware and hardware to companion apps and cloud APIs.

Why network security matters

Perimeter defences eventually fail, and the real damage happens next as an attacker moves toward your most sensitive systems. Flat networks turn a single phished laptop into total compromise, while a forgotten internet-facing host can hand an attacker their initial foothold. Network penetration testing reveals both — the exposure a scanner would miss and the internal paths that lead to domain admin — so you can harden your perimeter, validate segmentation and prove your controls actually contain a breach. It also satisfies PCI DSS, SOC 2 and ISO 27001 requirements for regular infrastructure testing.

How to choose the right service

If you want to know what an internet-based attacker can reach, start with external network penetration testing. If your concern is how far a breach could spread once inside, choose an internal or assumed-breach assessment. Offices with corporate Wi-Fi should add wireless testing, and teams shipping connected products need IoT device testing. A firewall and configuration review complements any of these with a white-box audit of how your controls are actually configured. We help you sequence them for the best coverage within budget.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between external and internal network testing?
External testing simulates an internet-based attacker with no access; internal testing simulates an attacker already inside — a malicious insider or compromised device — to measure lateral movement and blast radius.
Will network testing disrupt our operations?
No. We avoid denial-of-service by default, coordinate any potentially disruptive checks in advance, and prevent account lockouts throughout the engagement.
How often should we test our network?
At least annually and after any significant infrastructure change; many organizations test their external perimeter quarterly to keep pace with a shifting attack surface.
