Our on-demand webinar showcases the importance of a comprehensive penetration test – beyond simply meeting compliance requirements – through a live network attack simulation.
We recently hosted a webinar, “What Your Pen Test Isn’t Showing You: A Live Hack,” where our Cybersecurity experts highlighted the methodologies that a comprehensive penetration test offers. Our offensive security expert demonstrated a live network attack simulation for the audience, providing a firsthand glimpse into the vulnerabilities that threat actors are counting on you to miss.
Penetration testing is typically sought – and sold – as a routine service meant to help organizations “check the box” to meet minimum compliance requirements. But as the threat landscape continues to mature, so should your security posture. This requires comprehensive, in-depth penetration testing that allows you to see every opportunity the attackers see when they target your organization.
Behind the Screen: What the Average Pen Test Misses
There are many methodologies involved in modern penetration testing, but not all pen tests are created equal. Our live hacking demonstration narrows in on advanced network penetration testing techniques, targeting multiple systems throughout a network via internal, external and wireless attacks. During this on-demand recording, our expert pen tester will take you on a behind-the-screen tour, revealing:
- How a hacker achieves initial access to breach the “Demo Corp” firewall.
- How an attacker gains access to domain admin accounts, multiple devices, and applications, moving first laterally and then deeper into Demo Corp’s network.
- How a hacker escalates their privilege in Demo Corp’s domain via a kerberoasting attack, targeting the Kerberos authentication protocol in the Corp’s Active Directory environment.
- How this allows the bad actor to crack the password hash offline, then slide back in to authenticate as the service account for all of Demo Corp’s associated services, systems, networks, and data.
As our ethical hacker demonstrates, successful network attacks result in a rapid snowball effect from initial firewall breach to sudden, full-scale network takeover. What’s more, it’s possible to succeed at the kerberoasting attack even without the escalated privileges of an admin account. In fact, any domain user account can potentially be used in this attack. This makes both regular audits of your account privileges and routine assessments of your pen testing program a necessity.
Learn What Threat Actors Don’t Want You to Know
Without rigorous penetration testing and proper security protocols in place, your organization remains at risk. But knowledge is power. In this on-demand webinar, you’ll learn how to assess your penetration testing approach to ensure you receive a comprehensive view of your organization’s attack surface. You won’t just hear stories – you’ll see a firsthand demonstration of what the hackers don’t want you to find out, leaving you with actionable tips for vetting and improving your pen-testing approach.
During the webinar, our Cybersecurity experts cover:
- The methodologies a comprehensive penetration test should include.
- The differences between a vulnerability scan and a comprehensive pen test approach.
- A live network attack demo simulated by an industry-leading offensive security expert.
- Key questions you should ask to assess your pen test provider’s capabilities.
