Offensive services

SECTERIOUS expert team have advanced experience in offensive cybersecurity, in all sectors.

SECTERIOUS Offensive Approach

Does your business understand all the security issues before spending limited security budgets on defensive products?

SECTERIOUS Offensive Services Approach

Apart from implementing defensive controls, Secterious experts help you discover, conduct offensive tests, and then remediate. We analyze the security level of your firm’s IT environments, infrastructure, and apps to discover the current security posture. Secterious security professionals simulate the behaviors of a sophisticated attacker to identify complex vulnerabilities. We resolve discovered flaws and provide solutions for long-term best practices.

SECTERIOUS Offensive Services

We offer a range of offensive services and capabilities.

Web Application Penetration:

Secterious security analysts are familiar with fundamental and advanced issues hackers exploit. We deploy a reliable framework for successful web application penetration testing.

We have expertise and tools for footprinting web applications and underlying servers. We simulate a wide range of attacks, both internally and externally, attempting to get hold of your applications and sensitive data.

Our web application penetration testing allows us to discover the weaknesses of the entire web application ecosystem, including the source code, database, web server, and back-end network. We also help application developers, and vendors, prioritize pinpointed vulnerabilities and threats. We offer solutions, recommendations, and strategies to mitigate discovered flaws.

Our years of experience in penetration testing have helped us discover a strategy that integrates three main types of tests: black-box, gray-box, and white-box. This strategy enables us to imitate the role of an attacker that can take various forms, such as internal and external.

Black Box Penetration Testing

  • SECTERIOUS professionals have the skills and tools needed to test your web application even without prior knowledge of the app’s internal workings. We perform an in-depth reconnaissance to obtain relevant data required to proceed with the penetration test.

Gray Box Penetration Testing

Our gray-box tests allow a higher level of access and increased internal knowledge of your web apps.

In this test, a client grants us some internal access and details, such as lower-level credentials, application logic flow charts, or network architecture and infrastructure maps. 

Our gray-box tests help simulate a hacker that has already penetrated the network perimeter and has some insider information 

Benefits of Secterious Gray-box penetration testing:

  • Providing some form of background information creates an efficient and streamlined assessment approach
  • Secterious gray-box testing saves on time and money spent on reconnaissance phase
  • The service is advanced since it allows us to focus efforts on exploiting potential vulnerabilities rather than attempting to discover the location of systems
  • Sharing internal information increases the surface area of the test. Having credentials allows Secterious testers to assess the applications from a valid user (insider) perspective.

White Box Penetration Testing

In white-box testing, our experts have complete and open access to applications and systems.

  • The strategy allows us to have high-level privilege access to the network. With our white-box testing, we can discover advanced security issues, such as logical vulnerabilities, poorly written app code, lack of proper defensive controls, and security misconfigurations.

Benefits of Secterious white-box security testing:

  • The tests are in-depth and thorough – efficient in discovering security gaps 
  • The tests enable us to discover logical bugs in the application’s logic flow 
  • White-box testing allows us to maximize test time and budgets
  • White-box testing helps discover hidden errors  
  • We can secure an app while under development rather than in production 
  • White-box assessment transfer more knowledge to the client’s development team 

External and Internal Penetration Testing

We offer both internal and external penetration testing for your network, infrastructure, and applications.

Secterious experts can conduct a security assessment from inside or outside your corporate network perimeter. Both our internal and external penetration testing uncovers vulnerabilities in your systems, policies, procedures, and processes. The solution helps your organization develop a better understanding of the flaws in your security program, both from outsider and insider perspectives. Internal Penetration Testing: Secterious team performs internal penetration testing to gauge what malicious hackers and insiders could do with initial access to a network. Our internal penetration testing mirrors insider threats, such as malicious actions or unintentional activities from disgruntled and unsuspecting employees, respectively. External Penetration Testing: We provide an external penetration testing designed to test the effectiveness of your network perimeter security controls to detect and prevent attacks. Our experts can determine your ability to identify weaknesses in your internet-facing systems like web applications, email services, and FTP servers.
