Internal penetration testing services

Uncover attack paths commonly exploited by threat actors within your internal enterprise environment.

What is an internal enterprise penetration test?

Assess your organisation from the perspective that an adversary has breached the perimeter and gained access to your internal enterprise environment.

Adversify utilise the tactics, techniques and processes of real-world adversaries to identify vulnerabilities and routes of attack within your internal attack surface.

By focusing on real-world exploitable vulnerabilities, you leave better-equipped to defend your organisation from modern adversaries.

We scope our tests based on your attack surface

An organisation’s internal attack surface may contain the following:

Active Directory (identity management)

Microsoft 365 (identity management, office suite)

Cloud computing (Azure, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform)

Networking devices (switches, firewalls, routers)

Web applications and authentication interfaces

User endpoints (computers, laptops, tablets)

Servers (physical, virtual)

To prevent security blind spots, an internal enterprise penetration test must encompass the entire internal attack surface of an organisation.

Real-world exploits and misconfigurations

Define objectives relevant to you

Adversify use penetration testing objectives to help your organisation accurately gauge the current risks you face in case of compromise. The aim of penetration testing objectives is to make the engagement as relevant to your organisation as possible and identify areas lacking security hardening that may have otherwise been overlooked.

Typical penetration testing objectives include:

Escalating privileges to the highest possible.

Compromise a segmented or critical area of the network where sensitive information is held.

Gain access to sensitive financial or customer information.

Successfully exfiltrate data out of the business.

Compromise specific internal systems within the business e.g HR systems, payroll etc.

Gain access and compromise cloud-based environments.

Deploy non-malicious ransomware to target systems to test detection and response capabilities.

// The process

Our proven process to assess your defences

Engagement design

Using our attack surface-led approach, we work with you to design a penetration testing strategy that is unique to your organisation and encompasses any raised security objectives or concerns.

Analyse the attack surface

We invest time in understanding the exposed attack surface of the assessed system to identify attack vectors that present the biggest risks to your organisation.

Discover vulnerabilities and exploit attack paths

Our penetration testers assess the attack surface for vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, commonly exploited by real-world adversaries.

We conduct exploitation activities to identify attack paths and routes into the organisation, allowing you to visualise how a real-world adversary would breach your organisation.

Reporting and evaluation

All discovered findings are presented within a comprehensive and detailed Adversify penetration test report.

You'll have the opportunity to join a post-assessment discussion about the engagement, where we recap on any lessons learnt and can offer additional assurances about the security of the assessed environment.

Cloud services

Cloud services are commonly integrated with internal enterprise networks, forming what's known as a hybrid environment. This allows businesses to leverage their internal Active Directory system to enforce changes within the cloud directory. Additionally, it grants employees access to cloud storage solutions such as OneDrive. Attackers who breach the internal enterprise environment will often move laterally between the on-premises environment and the cloud environment. Compromising on-premises user account credentials may lead to privileged access within the cloud due to lack of access controls or vice versa.

Description about how this works goes here Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique. Duis cursus, mi quis viverra ornare, eros dolor interdum nulla.

Infrastructure

An organisations internal infrastructure

Is often comprised of servers, user endpoints (desktops, laptops), firewalls, switches, virtualisation, telephony equipment, routers and access points. These can either be hosted on-premises or a data centre, within a cloud environment or a combination of the two. Attackers that breach the internal enterprise environment will look to move laterally or vertically across the network to further compromise the business and it's data.

Active directory

Active Directory is an identity solution by Microsoft

Used by the majority of businesses today. Active Directory controls identity management, authentication and access control within a Windows domain network. Active Directory is often configured insecurely, making it an extremely attractive target for adversaries that breach the external perimeter.

Applications

Internal web applications/APIs

include authentication interfaces, security monitoring, domain and patch management tools, business specific applications and internal code repositories. Web applications within an internal enterprise environment are commonly found to be out of date and not patched as regularly as those on the external perimeter. Many are often configured with default credentials. This makes these applications extremely attractive targets for adversaries who have gained access to the internal enterprise environment.

What sets our services apart

The success of an engagement is directly linked to defining an appropriate scope

Adversify take the time to understand your environment and its attack surface. This allows us to create a penetration testing strategy that is unique to your organisation.

We prioritise real-world vulnerabilities and attack paths.

Adversify focus on vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that are commonly exploited by real-world adversaries.

Leaving your organisation with the results that matter to you.

We design our penetration testing engagements using an attack surface-led approach.

Without looking at the whole attack surface, it's not possible to truly provide security assurance.
‍
Our approach ensures that the entire attack surface of the environment is analysed and assessed for weaknesses.

Adversify prioritise outcomes over time.

Our goal is to help your organisation achieve it's security goals and we appreciate that sometimes fixed-term engagements, don't always go to plan.

To make sure your organisation gets the most out of its penetration test, we design all our penetration testing engagements with a series of deliverables and are sold for a fixed project price.

Testing from the perspective of a real-world adversary

Adversify utilise tactics, techniques and processes of a real-world adversary to demonstrate the current risk your business faces from threat actors. These commonly include:

Moving laterally to other servers and endpoints within Windows/Unix domains.

Gaining access to user accounts and credentials.

Hunting for credentials or secrets that are stored insecurely.

Escalating privileges to the highest possible within the internal enterprise environment.

Extracting credentials and password hashes from memory.

Compromising on-premises Active Directory and Hybrid cloud service environments.

Exploiting misconfigured permissions or lack of privilege separation within internal enterprise environments.

Available add-on

Vulnerability assessment

A vulnerability assessment is an automated assessment conducted with a vulnerability scanner but lead by a consultant.

The consultant will assess any reported vulnerabilities, determine their status (valid or false positive) and demonstrate a proof of concept for the reported vulnerability.

This assessment can be extremely effective at assessing the level of patching taking place within an organisation and help administrators determine the systems exposure to known vulnerabilities.
