Penetration Testing
GlobalSecurityIQ’s Penetration Testing services simulate realistic cybersecurity attacks on your environment without affecting your business processes. GlobalSecurityIQ will evaluate the security of your IT infrastructure by safely attempting to exploit vulnerabilities and testing the effectiveness of your cybersecurity controls.

What is the difference between a Vulnerability Scan and Penetration Test?
Good question! These two essential cybersecurity services are often confused. A Vulnerability Scan identifies vulnerabilities such as open ports, misconfigurations, and missing patches. A Penetration Test, or ethical hacking, is an authorized simulated cyberattack that attempts to exploit vulnerabilities and identify exposed sensitive data that hackers can access and steal.
