Network Penetration Test

We simulate real-world attackers targeting your internal and external networks to reveal weak spots.

Brief Description Of Our Network Penetration Test

Our Network Penetration Test is more than a scan — it’s a full-scale simulation of how determined adversaries would breach your digital walls. We don’t just find open ports; we trace the hidden pathways attackers exploit, pivoting through your environment the way a real intruder would. The result is a battlefield-tested blueprint of your defenses, delivered with clarity and precision, so you know precisely where to reinforce before the shadows strike.

Network Penetration Test Deliverables

1. Advanced Attack Simulation

We simulate real-world cyberattacks against your network infrastructure—firewalls, routers, switches, servers, and VPNs—using tactics that malicious actors deploy, going far beyond automated scanning.

2. Exploitation & Privilege Escalation Testing

Our team identifies not just vulnerabilities but actively attempts to exploit them, demonstrating how an attacker could move laterally inside your network and escalate privileges.

3. Zero-Day & Emerging Threat Analysis

We test your defenses against newly discovered or less-documented vulnerabilities, providing proactive defense insights that aren’t available from simple vulnerability scanners.

4. Credential & Access Control Assessment

We evaluate password policies, user accounts, and Active Directory configurations to uncover weak credentials, insecure accounts, or mismanaged privileges.

5. Misconfiguration & Policy Gap Review

We assess your firewalls, IDS/IPS, and routing rules for dangerous misconfigurations that often go unnoticed but create hidden attack paths.

6. Data Exfiltration Testing

We simulate controlled data leaks to test whether sensitive information could be exfiltrated outside the network without being detected by your defenses.

 

7. Resilience Against Common Attack Vectors

This includes phishing-based entry points, VPN abuse, and exploitation of exposed services—ensuring your network is hardened against the most likely attacker methods.

8. Custom Risk Prioritization

Each finding is rated by likelihood, impact, and business risk—not just CVSS scores—so decision makers can prioritize fixes in line with real-world threats.

9. Compliance Alignment Check

We map vulnerabilities to frameworks such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, or ISO 27001 to show where your organization may fall short of compliance requirements.

10. Actionable Remediation Roadmap

Clear, step-by-step guidance for your IT/security team to remediate vulnerabilities, patch misconfigurations, and strengthen defenses effectively.

11. Executive Summary Report

A non-technical, board-ready summary that communicates the business impact of discovered issues and the ROI of security investments.

12. Technical Deep-Dive Report

A detailed technical report for IT/security staff, including proof-of-concept evidence, payloads used, and attack paths observed.

13. 30-Day Complimentary Retest

After remediation, Erebus Operations provides a free retest within 30 days to verify that the fixes were effective, ensuring that vulnerabilities are truly resolved.

Who Need Our Penetration Test

Hackers don’t just target Fortune 500s—small and mid-sized businesses are often the easiest victims because they assume they’re too small to hack. If your company handles customer data, payments, or intellectual property, you’re already on the radar and a single breach can destroy years of trust. Remote and hybrid workforces only make things worse, with home networks and VPNs creating wide-open attack surfaces. Firewalls and vulnerability scans alone aren’t enough; they flag issues, but attackers exploit them and chain weaknesses together. If you have compliance obligations like PCI DSS, HIPAA, or SOC 2, penetration testing isn’t optional—it’s the difference between passing or failing an audit. The truth is, if your business would be devastated by downtime, ransomware, or stolen data, you need a network penetration test, whether you realize it or not.

FAQ

A network penetration test is a controlled, simulated cyberattack against your company’s IT infrastructure to uncover hidden vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and weak points that a real attacker could exploit.

A vulnerability scan lists possible issues; a penetration test proves what can actually be exploited. We go beyond automated tools by chaining vulnerabilities together, testing real-world attack paths, and showing business impact.

Firewalls and antivirus stop known threats but can’t defend against misconfigurations, privilege escalation, weak credentials, or sophisticated attack chains. Penetration testing reveals what your current defenses miss.

 

We test for open ports, insecure services, weak passwords, unpatched systems, misconfigured firewalls, exposed data, lateral movement opportunities, and real-world exploitation methods that scanners alone won’t detect.

At least once a year, or whenever major infrastructure changes occur (new servers, firewalls, VPN rollouts, mergers, etc.). Threats evolve constantly, so waiting years between tests leaves dangerous blind spots.

Any business with sensitive data, compliance obligations (PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2), remote employees, or internet-facing services. In short—if downtime, ransomware, or stolen data would hurt your business, you need one.

No. We carefully plan engagements to avoid downtime, but if we need to run high-impact tests (like DoS simulations), we coordinate with you so production systems aren’t affected.

You get two reports: an executive summary (business impact, risk prioritization) and a technical report (detailed vulnerabilities, exploitation evidence, and step-by-step remediation guidance).

Yes. Erebus Operation includes a free retest within 30 days to confirm vulnerabilities were resolved and ensure your security posture is stronger.

While we don’t directly patch systems, we provide clear, actionable remediation steps. We also consult with your IT team to ensure fixes are correctly implemented.

Absolutely. Our engagements are scoped and controlled. We never exfiltrate actual client data—instead, we simulate how it could be stolen and show you proof without exposing your business to further risk.

 

Most network penetration tests take 5–10 business days depending on network size, scope, and complexity, followed by report delivery and a debrief session with your team.
