Our Pentesting offer

Alter Solutions pentest auditor assessing a client's needs
Based on a perimeter agreed with the customer, our auditors intervene according to different scenarios.

They can simulate attacks from outside and/or inside your network, or target specific systems and equipment.

They work with you to define the scenarios and choose the approaches (black box, grey box and white box) that best meet your security objectives.

 

Our penetration testing services cover all IT, OT and IoT perimeters likely to attract the interest of an attacker:

  • On-premise, cloud and hybrid infrastructures
  • Mobile applications
  • Web3 applications
  • Telecoms and VoIP
  • Fixed and mobile terminals
  • OT systems
  • Wi-Fi networks
  • Web and native applications
  • IoT
  • Application Programming Interfaces (API)
  • Source code

Scenarios tailored to your needs

You can choose one or even a combination of the following approaches:
White box Pentest

The pentester has full, detailed information about the target system (architecture and system diagrams, source code, access data, etc.). This allows him to provide an exhaustive assessment of the system's security status.

 

Black box Pentest

Penetration testing in "black box" mode is considered to be the most realistic test method, as the pentester has no information about the target system to succeed in breaking into it. This method highlights vulnerabilities that could be exploited by a real attacker.

 

Grey box Pentest

A mix of white and black box pentest. The pentester only has access to a certain level of information about the target system, in order to conduct more specific tests, while exploring the system further to identify potential vulnerabilities.

 

Pentesting vs. vulnerability scan

A vulnerability scan primarily uses automated testing tools, which makes them cheaper, but also fairly incomplete and limited in scope.

A penetration test, in comparison, examines the test object individually and manually.

A growing threat

Nearly 100% of web applications have vulnerabilities.

Penetration testing is one of the 3 most effective tools for improving IS security.

More than half of the companies surveyed suffered an attack in 2020.
