Network Penetration Testing: In-Depth, Actionable, and Business-Focused

Advanced threat simulations and actionable remediation

External Penetration Testing

External Network Testing

CentraLink’s External Network Penetration Testing simulates real-world attack scenarios from outside your environment to uncover vulnerabilities before malicious actors do. The assessment covers internet-facing systems, firewall configurations, exposed services, and potential entry points. Deliverables include detailed findings, risk scoring, and an executive summary, empowering IT and leadership to understand and address critical vulnerabilities. This proactive approach helps prevent costly breaches and strengthens public-facing defenses.

Internal Penetration Testing

Internal Network Testing

Internal Network Penetration Testing evaluates your security from within the network perimeter, identifying risks posed by compromised employee accounts or malware infections. CentraLink’s experts simulate insider threats, escalate privileges, and map lateral movement. The outcome is a clear, prioritized roadmap for mitigating risks, closing gaps, and establishing effective segmentation. This protects your organization against threats that bypass traditional perimeter defenses and supports compliance initiatives.

Vulnerability Assessment

Comprehensive Vulnerability Assessment

Vulnerability Assessment combines automated scanning tools and manual validation to provide a comprehensive inventory of weaknesses across your network. CentraLink’s team interprets findings in context, filters out false positives, and delivers clear, actionable recommendations. The comprehensive report supports IT teams in prioritizing remediation and tracking progress over time, helping your organization maintain a resilient and continuously improving security posture.

Social Engineering Testing

Social Engineering & Human Risk

Social Engineering Testing evaluates your organization’s human layer of defense through simulated phishing, vishing, and other tactics. CentraLink’s approach uncovers where employee awareness can be improved, reducing risk of breaches caused by human error. Deliverables include campaign results, employee response metrics, and custom recommendations for targeted security awareness training to build a stronger security culture.
