aNetworks in Hartford, CT, provides network penetration testing services to businesses looking to identify security vulnerabilities in their network, systems, hosts, and devices.
Our network penetration testers purposefully use malicious techniques to test your network’s security responses. Our network penetration testing allows you to identify security exploits that put your business at risk of a data breach before hackers can discover and exploit them.
Pen testing proves to clients, customers, management team, and staff that your security controls and procedures are effective at defending your network.

Network penetration testing offers several benefits to your business. Specifically, the following are ways pen testing helps you understand and improve your overall security:
Pen-testing enables your business to test security controls, mitigate vulnerabilities, and prevent data breaches.
If you are interested in performing network penetration testing, then contact us to speak to one of our experts.
If you are interested in testing your security but are unsure if your organization is ready for pen-testing, then try out our free cyber security assessment tool. Our tool evaluates your current security posture in order to highlight vulnerabilities and gaps in your security controls.
In most cases, you should try an assessment or audit before pen-testing in order to mitigate any surface-level vulnerabilities.
There are a few different types of network penetration testing services that we offer. In most cases, the type of network penetration testing service you choose can impact your deliverables.
Specifically, we offer three main types of network penetration testing services:
Black box testing identifies vulnerabilities in the outward-facing network. In most cases, black box testing is performed from the position of an average hacker who has minimal knowledge of internal systems.
It examines the functionality of an application without peering into its internal structures or workings.
For instance, you can use black box testing virtually on every level of software testing: unit, integration, system, and acceptance.
Gray box testing is a network penetration test performed from the position of a current or former user that has access to the system.
In most cases, this user will have partial knowledge of the internal workings of the application.
This type of test aims to provide a focused evaluation of the network’s security that provides insights into external as well as internal vulnerabilities.
White box testing is performed from the position of an IT user or an IT administrator that has access to the source code.
In this simulation, the pen tester has full knowledge of the structure and environment being tested.
White box testing aims to provide an in-depth security audit of a business’s systems. It aims to provide as much detail as possible into vulnerabilities.
White box testing has access to areas that a black box test cannot, such as source code and application design.
We deliver a series of reports that document details such as what vulnerabilities were exploited, what data was accessed, and how long our pen tester was able to maintain access.
Your penetration testing deliverables will vary depending on which area your business chooses to target during your network penetration test.
For instance, common areas businesses choose to target during pen-testing are:
As you can see, the deliverables for these targets can and will vary greatly.
However, for all of them, penetration testing delivers actionable insights. These can be recommendations for improvement in areas such as software code flaws, compliance failures, or employee awareness programs.
A network penetration test is a deep dive into your security. It is the single most effective way to view your security through a hacker’s eyes.
Once your security has reached a certain stage, pen testing is an essential part of a businesses’ security plan.
Network penetration testing provides visibility, confidence, and increased security to your network.
