External Testing

Speak to an expert

What is External Testing?

External penetration testing evaluates security from an outsider's perspective, examining public-facing assets and systems for vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors. This process simulates real-world attack scenarios that target an organization's external network perimeter.

When Should You Choose an External Test?

Focus on External Threats

External penetration tests assess threats originating outside your organization’s network. These are the most common attack vectors, as cyber threats can emerge from anywhere in the world.

Protection of Internet-Facing Assets

These tests specifically target publicly accessible systems like websites, email servers, and remote access portals, which are often the first entry points for attackers.

Web Application Firewall

Protect your web applications from cyber attacks with our web application firewall solutions. Our solutions provide comprehensive protection against common web application attacks, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting.

Preventing Unauthorized Access

Identifying and addressing vulnerabilities helps prevent attackers from breaching your internal network.

Real-World Attack Simulation

External pen tests mimic real hacker tactics, providing insight into how an attacker might exploit weaknesses in your security.


Unbiased Security Assessment

Because testers have no prior knowledge of your network architecture, their evaluation provides an objective and realistic assessment of your external security posture.

Key Testing Areas

External Network Assessment

  • Evaluation of internet-facing systems and services
  • Analysis of remote access points including VPNs and dial-up connections
  • Testing of perimeter security devices and firewalls

Public-Facing Infrastructure

  • Web applications and APIs
  • Email and DNS configurations
  • External cloud resources and storage
  • Public-facing servers and services

Security Control Verification

  • Unpatched software and outdated systems
  • Exposed sensitive information in public resources
  • Web application vulnerabilities (SQL injection, XSS)
  • Misconfigured cloud services and security settings

Vulnerability Assessment

  • Authentication mechanisms and login systems
  • Encryption protocols and implementation
  • Network traffic management
  • Configuration security of external systems
