Internal Network Penetration Testing

What is Internal Network Penetration Testing?

Internal Network Penetration Testing involves evaluating the security of an organisation's internal network infrastructure by simulating real-world cyberattacks to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses against the local network. It aims to assess the resilience of internal networks against potential threats and provide actionable insights to mitigate security risks, ensuring the protection of sensitive data, and critical assets.

How does Internal Network Pen Testing work?

Internal Network Penetration Testing works by our team simulating cyberattacks against an organisation's internal network infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses. It involves assessing the security controls, configurations, and architecture of internal networks, including servers, workstations, and other network devices. Through a combination of manual testing and automated scanning, potential vulnerabilities are uncovered and prioritised for remediation. Testing can be completed by plugging a device into the local network, accessing the local network via a VPN, or our test team can be made available to visit the test site (additional cost).

Internal Network Pentesting FAQ

Who conducts Internal Network Penetration Testing?

Qualified cybersecurity pen-testers with expertise in internal network security will conduct Internal Network Penetration Testing.

Does on-site internal network pen-testing cost more?

Internal pen-testing where there is a requirement for on-site and in-person testing will cost more due to travel and accommodation costs.

How is Internal Network Penetration Testing completed?

Internal Network Penetration Testing is completed by on-site testers, by plugging a device into the local network, or by accessing the local network via a VPN.

How much does Internal Network Penetration Testing cost?

Internal Network Penetration Testing can range from 1 day to weeks depending on the size of the network. For an idea of cost, contact North IT for an estimate or a quote. For large networks, fixed day testing, or VAPT can help reduce costs.
