Discover Exploitable Vulnerabilities and Get Ahead of Threat Actors

What is Penetration Testing?

Penetration Testing Helps You Discover Vulnerabilities before Threat Actors Do

You don’t know what you don’t know. But the bad guys do.

Threat actors exploit vulnerabilities in software, hardware, APIs and end-user environments, costing the world over nine trillion dollars in cybercrimes. Your business too can fall prey to the next attack. So, in addition to your regular testing processes, you need a proactive pen testing strategy that goes beyond ad-hoc tests.

Penetration testing services help you find unknown vulnerabilities. But more importantly, they teach and inform your future risk calculations.

Our team of expert researchers and elite ethical hackers can help you predict and preempt attacks with penetration testing services that “respond” before threat actors get you.

As Sun-Tzu advised, become the enemy.

Effectiveness of Optiv’s Pen Testing Services

Threat

In 2023 there were over 2,300 cyberattacks that affected more than 300 million victims in the US alone. The threat is increasing – in both numbers and sophistication. But you can substantially lessen your exposure.

Track Record

Our penetration testing services serve 64% of the Fortune 500 and have helped thousands of organizations uncover hidden vulnerabilities in their technology, processes and people.

Results

How effective are our pen testers? Seventy-five percent of vulnerabilities exploited by the Optiv team were not identified by standard automated tools. That is a number you can take to the board.

Optiv’s Pen Testing Approach

Our penetration testing services will help you:

Identify flaws and weaknesses in technology, processes and people
Minimize risk and strengthen compliance with regulatory requirements
Remediate vulnerabilities and reduce the attack surface

Security penetration testing typically involves manual and automated components, as well as white- and black-box testing aimed at compromising endpoints, wireless networks, mobile devices, web application security and other potential points of exposure. Because of the human in the loop, a pen test can identify flaws and weaknesses that automated scanning may miss.
