Penetration Testing Services

At DefendIT, our penetration testing services simulate real-world cyberattacks to expose vulnerabilities before attackers do. We deliver expert assessments across networks, applications, cloud environments, and human factors, providing clear remediation paths to strengthen your defenses.

Why Choose DefendIT for Pentesting?

We go beyond automated scans with manual expertise aligned to industry standards like

OWASP, MITRE ATT&CK, and NIST. Our testers hold certifications such as OSCP, CEH, and CREST, ensuring thorough coverage and actionable insights. Every engagement includes full reporting, risk prioritization, and optional retesting.

Core Penetration Testing Services

Protect your foundational assets with targeted, in-depth testing.

External Infrastructure Penetration Testing

Evaluate internet-facing assets including public IP ranges, domains, subdomains, exposed services, firewalls, and remote access. Our process covers reconnaissance, enumeration, exploit validation, and exposure analysis to identify entry points attackers target first.

Internal Network Penetration Testing

Using VPN or onsite access, we test segmentation effectiveness, ACLs, lateral movement risks, privilege escalation paths, rogue services, and internal trust boundaries. This reveals how deeply a compromised asset could spread.

Web Application Penetration Testing

Authenticated and unauthenticated testing addresses OWASP Top 10 risks, business logic flaws, session management, token abuse, SSRF, request smuggling, and input validation weaknesses. We ensure your web apps withstand sophisticated abuse

API Security Testing

Assess REST and similar APIs for authentication gaps, authorization flaws, token misuse, fuzzing vulnerabilities, excessive data exposure, injection attacks, and business workflow manipulations.

Mobile Application Penetration Testing

Static and dynamic analysis includes root/jailbreak detection bypass, insecure data storage, API interactions, and client-side logic flaws for iOS and Android apps.

Cloud Security Penetration Testing

Target AWS, Azure, and GCP for misconfigurations, privilege escalations, exposed services, insecure identities, weak segmentation, and cloud-specific attack paths.

Endpoint and Server Security Testing

Review workstation/server hardening, local privilege escalations, insecure services, weak configurations, EDR/AV evasion, and persistence mechanisms.

Identity and Access Attack Simulation

Simulate brute-force, credential stuffing, Kerberoasting, stale credential discovery, MFA bypasses, and token misuse to harden your auth systems.

Advanced Attack Simulations

Test against persistent, advanced threats.

Red Team Style Adversary Simulation

Full-spectrum simulation of APT behaviors: controlled exploitation, lateral movement, privilege escalation, C2 operations, and stealth evasion techniques.

Lateral Movement & Privilege Escalation Testing

Focused or integrated testing on post-breach navigation and elevation paths.

Impact Validation Testing

Prove attacker potential with controlled data access, exfiltration, credential harvesting, and business disruption scenarios.

Ransomware Readiness Simulation

Safe, sandboxed ransomware detonation to benchmark detection, containment, and recovery capabilities.

Human-Focused Security Testing

People are often the primary vector—measure and improve resilience.

Phishing Simulation

Custom, approved campaigns test awareness, credential susceptibility, and reporting rates with training follow-up.

Vishing & Social Engineering Assessments

Phone-based and impersonation attacks (pre-approved) to evaluate response protocols.

Physical Security Testing

Tailgating, rogue device placement, and access control checks (optional expansion).
