External Network Penetration Test
In today’s hyperconnected world, your organization’s external-facing systems are under constant scrutiny by cybercriminals. Firewalls and antivirus solutions alone are no longer sufficient—proactive security measures are essential to stay ahead of threats. Tungsten Secure’s External Network Penetration Testing simulates real-world attacks to expose vulnerabilities in your internet-exposed infrastructure before malicious actors can exploit them.
What Is External Network Penetration Testing?
External penetration testing is a targeted cybersecurity assessment that evaluates the security of your publicly accessible assets—web servers, email gateways, firewalls, VPNs, and other internet-facing systems. Unlike automated vulnerability scans, which only flag known weaknesses, our ethical hackers employ advanced manual techniques to:
Identify exploitable misconfigurations, unpatched services, and weak authentication mechanisms.
Chain vulnerabilities to demonstrate how an attacker could breach your defenses.
Assess the real-world impact of potential intrusions, including data theft or system compromise.
By emulating the tactics of real adversaries, we provide actionable insights to fortify your external attack surface.
Why Your Organization Needs External Pen Testing
Cybercriminals continuously scan the internet for exposed systems, seeking the weakest link in your security posture. A single oversight—an outdated server, an open port, or a default credential—can lead to devastating breaches. Our external penetration testing services help you:
- Map Your Attack Surface
Discover which assets are visible to attackers and assess their exposure to exploitation.
- Prioritize Critical Risks
Not all vulnerabilities pose the same threat. We highlight high-risk flaws that require immediate remediation.
- Meet Compliance Requirements
Fulfill mandates for PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR with evidence-backed security validation.
- Validate Security Controls
Test the effectiveness of firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and other perimeter defenses.
- Gain Actionable Remediation
Receive a detailed report with clear steps to eliminate vulnerabilities and strengthen defenses.
Our Rigorous Testing Methodology
At Tungsten Secure, we adhere to industry-leading frameworks such as OWASP, NIST, and PTES to ensure thorough and ethical testing. Our process includes:
- Reconnaissance
We gather intelligence on your external footprint using passive and active techniques, identifying domains, IP ranges, and exposed services.
- Enumeration & Vulnerability Scanning
Using advanced tools and manual testing, we catalog open ports, services, and potential weaknesses.
- Controlled Exploitation
Our certified testers safely exploit identified flaws to determine their real-world impact—without disrupting operations.
- Post-Exploitation Analysis
We assess how far an attacker could penetrate, what data could be accessed, and the potential business impact.
- Comprehensive Reporting
You’ll receive a prioritized roadmap for remediation, including technical findings, risk ratings, and mitigation strategies.
