Threat Intelligence Based Penetration Testing

IPSec uses Threat Intelligence based penetration testing to provide a more strategic and effective approach to identifying and addressing vulnerabilities by incorporating actionable threat intelligence. This method focuses on aligning testing with the most relevant and current threats, offering several advantages.

Real-World Relevance

Focused on Likely Attack Scenarios: Threat Intelligence based penetration testing uses specific intelligence about threat actors, attack methods, and targets that are actively being exploited in your industry or region.

Simulates Actual Threats: The testing replicates real-world attacks, providing a more accurate assessment of your organization's readiness against adversaries.

Risk-Based Prioritisation

Targeting High-Value Assets: Threat intelligence identifies critical systems, applications, or data that attackers are most likely to target.

Efficient Use of Resources: Focuses on the most significant risks, reducing time and effort spent on low-priority areas.

Alignment with Emerging Threats

Up-to-Date Threat Landscape: Ensures testing reflects the latest cybercrime trends and attack vectors.

Beyond Standard Vulnerabilities: Goes beyond common vulnerabilities and identifies threats specific to your organization based on adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).

Enhanced Incident Response Validation

Testing Defensive Capabilities: Evaluates your organization's ability to detect, respond to, and recover from specific attacks informed by real-world threat intelligence.

Highlighting Gaps: Identifies weaknesses in incident response and detection processes.

Industry and OrganiSation-Specific Context

Tailored Testing: Takes into account the specific risks and threats associated with your industry, business operations, and geographic location.

Regulatory Compliance: Aligns with frameworks and standards that emphasize threat-informed risk management, such as PCI DSS, GDPR, or ISO 27001.

CREST accreditation provides assurance that the testing to be completed will be performed with methodologies that are of a very high technical standard. It also ensures that any vulnerabilities or sensitive information discovered during the engagement is handled with the highest levels of safety.
