ESTec tests for all potential vulnerabilities. We then stress applications in ways that the developers never expected. When an application exists on multiple machines (typical of client/server architectures), we test each, as well as the communications channels. We also try to exploit 'features' of the applications to gain unauthorized access to your network and computers.

Safety first: your senior management must agree to any test. To protect affected assets, we work with you to define the scope of the test and its cutoff points. Tests are run solely to prove whether an intrusion is possible and what damage could occur. We design them to prevent damage.

Penetration tests are directed at the organization, its Internet interface, and applications. The goal is to test intrusion detection and response mechanisms. A test succeeds if it is detected by the intrusion detection mechanisms and properly responded to.

ESTec also trains your employees to perform basic intrusion studies and vulnerability audits. Transferring skill sets and knowledge we upgrade your company's staff while saving you time and expense.
