What is Phishing?

Phishing is a type of social engineering attack generally delivered in the form of a fraudulent email campaign attempting to convince its recipient to perform a given action. For instance, it may invite the user to download a malicious email attachment or to submit sensitive information in a web page that replicates a trusted source. One of its variant, known as spear-phishing, is highly targeted and typically addressed at a specific individual or a subset of employees. Phishing is one of the primary vectors used by hackers and has resulted in some of the biggest cyberattacks in history.

Frequently Asked Questions

Penetration testing is essential to any business, but it remains a complex subject and choosing the right provider can be challenging. The following FAQ answers the most frequently asked questions to help you make an informed decision. Couldn’t find your answer? Ask an expert for free.

Why perform a penetration test?

Penetration tests can be performed to meet various objectives. Meeting regulatory requirements (PCI, SOC2, etc.) and securing systems from cyberattacks following recent changes are among the most common use cases of pentesting.

How much does a penetration test cost?

The cost of a penetration test varies significantly according to a number of factors. For this reason, there is no established price range for this type of assessment. Each project is tailored to your objectives and your environment. To find out how much your penetration test would cost, reach out to our specialists to get a free quote.

What is the difference between an automated scan and a pentest?

Manual penetration tests and fully automated scanners are the most common techniques to identify and fix cybersecurity vulnerabilities within your technologies. While many similarities exist between the two, they are often misinterpreted as the same thing, although they yield very different results.

Every professional in the industry agrees that cyber risks cannot be sufficiently mitigated by relying on automated scans alone. It can be a great starting point for those who lack the resources to undergo frequent manual tests, but should not be your only resort to test your cybersecurity.

What happens after the test is completed?

Upon completion of the test, your company receives a report detailing all of the findings. This document is broken down in several sections that are relevant for various stakeholders. A professional penetration testing report should always present the following items:

An executive summary that outlines the findings in a clear and concise language. This section should be easily understood by your non-technical staff and acts as a key component of your risk management strategy.
Vulnerability listing prioritized by risk level.
Technical details of the identified vulnerabilities including their potential impact if exploited and supporting evidence (screenshots, HTTP requests, etc.).
Actionable recommendations to fix each identified vulnerability.
External references to facilitate the implementation of the recommended corrective measures.

Can your tests affect my business operations?

Various steps are taken by our specialists to prevent the potential impact of our tests on the stability of your technological environment and the continuity of your business operations.

Unless specifically instructed to, our specialists refrain from performing any disruptive types of attacks that can, for example, cause denial of service.
