Offensive Security & Assessment
Penetration Testing
Application, infrastructure, cloud and wireless testing that shows how an attacker could exploit your systems, before they do.
Overview
Know your vulnerabilities before an adversary does.
The best way to stop attackers is to think and act like one. CDT's penetration testers imitate how a real adversary would exploit vulnerabilities across your systems, then chain those weaknesses together to show the real-world impact of a successful attack. Every engagement is led by operators with deep technical backgrounds, so there is a subject-matter expert on every job.
What's included
Capabilities
Application security testing
Web, mobile and API testing to find the flaws that lead to unauthorized access and data breaches.
Infrastructure testing
Servers, networks, devices and services tested for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and weaknesses.
Cloud security testing
AWS, Azure and hybrid environments tested for the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your data and services.
Wireless penetration testing
Real-world attacks against your wireless networks, encryption and access controls.
Remote (external) testing
Your internet-facing systems tested from the outside, the way an external attacker would see them.
On-premise (internal) testing
Attacks from inside your network to test privilege escalation, lateral movement and detection.
How we work
A proven, repeatable process.
-
1
Scope & rules of engagement
We agree on objectives, targets, timing and safety limits with your team, so testing is realistic and never disruptive.
-
2
Reconnaissance & testing
Our operators map your attack surface and test it the way real adversaries do, by hand and with automation.
-
3
Exploitation & validation
We chain findings to prove real-world impact, and tell you immediately if we find something critical.
-
4
Reporting & readout
Clear, prioritized findings mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, with an executive summary and technical detail for engineers.
-
5
Remediation & retest
We help you fix what matters most, then retest to confirm the gaps are closed.
