Infrastructure Penetration Testing

Within the discipline of infrastructure pentest, there are two subcategories:

• External Pentest: The network’s security posture is determined from the outside by investigating Internet facing assets, such as network devices, network ports and firewalls, and web applications.
• Internal Pentest: The network’s security posture is evaluated by attempting to compromise the network from the inside. The internal party will typically be an insider or a malicious entity having breached the company’s external perimeter.
