Penetration testing?

To defend yourself from a hacker, you must think like a hacker. That’s what penetration testing does. Penetration testing is often referred to as ‘ethical hacking’ or 'white hat hacking'. By simulating real-world cyber-attack scenarios, your business can take a totally proactive approach to assess the security of your network, systems, and applications.

Real-world threats need a real-world solution

As our lives and businesses become more reliant on digital technologies, it is imperative to protect ourselves from the increasing threats to our data and infrastructure. Unfortunately, cyber-attacks and data breaches are sadly part of our daily lives. So how do we best protect ourselves from malicious cyber threats?

A proactive approach to digital defence is the best form of security. Genesis IT will find potential weaknesses before they become a problem. Our IT consultants provide businesses with vulnerability assessments and compliance audits to shine a light on potential weaknesses in your systems.

However, vulnerability tests and compliance audits only provide a top-level report. To really gain a proper understanding of where your network’s vulnerabilities lie, you need something more in-depth. This is where penetration testing comes in.
