An infrastructure penetration test is crucial to proactively ensure the security of your IT systems, networks and endpoints. By simulating realistic attack scenarios, vulnerabilities in servers, firewalls, databases and access controls are uncovered before they can be exploited by potential attackers.
Infrastructure Penetration Testing
Whether a basic security check or an in-depth check of a hardened environment - our infrastructure penetration test provides transparency for educated decisions and a strengthened defense.
Why carry out an infrastructure penetration test?
This tells you whether existing security measures are actually effective and meet the requirements for confidentiality, integrity and availability. As your infrastructure forms the backbone of all digital business processes, a penetration test not only protects against data loss, theft and system failures, but also sustainably strengthens your cyber security and ensures business continuity.
Frequent vulnerabilities in the IT infrastructure
Typical vulnerabilities in the infrastructure are caused by technical deficiencies, organizational deficits or a combination of both. They can significantly impair the security, stability and availability of your systems and make it easier for attackers to gain access. Here is an overview of the most common vulnerabilities:
- Authentication and authorization problems
- Insecure security configurations
- Outdated software/components with known security vulnerabilities
- Uncontrolled disclosure of sensitive information
- Insufficient network segmentation
- Lack of security management and ineffective processes
- Uncertain transitions or jump hosts between areas of different criticality
How we support you
Our Infrastructure Penetration Test was designed to give you a clear and accurate picture of your network’s security posture – whether you’re just starting to assess your defenses or want to review recent improvements.
Targeted attack simulations
We simulate real attack scenarios to identify vulnerabilities in your internal or external infrastructure – using sophisticated manual checks and specialized tools that go far beyond automated scans. This is how we uncover vulnerabilities that others overlook.
Active Directory as a component
If available in your network, the Active Directory is also included as part of the infrastructure penetration test. Both local and Entra IDs are checked for security-relevant misconfigurations in order to identify possible weaknesses and uncover attack paths in your network.
Internal security systems on the test bench
In cooperation with your system administrators, your existing security systems (antivirus, intrusion detection, etc.) are also put to the test. The simulation of frequently occurring attack patterns helps us to optimize the detection rate of your systems and identify blind spots.
Results of our infrastructure penetration tests
Standards we use
Our infrastructure penetration tests are performed based on the best practices defined by the following standards:
- NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF)
- ISO/IEC 27001 : Information security management systems
- MITRE ATT&CK Framework
- NIST SP 800-115 – Technical Guide to Information Security Testing
- CIS Controls
