Assessing Internal Network Security

Manual Internal Pentesting

Manual internal pentesting involves evaluating the security of an organization’s internal network. This type of testing simulates an insider threat, allowing security teams to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by employees or contractors.

Testing Areas

• Network Segmentation: Ensuring proper isolation of sensitive data.
• Access Controls: Verifying user permissions and roles.
• Configuration Management: Assessing system configurations for security best practices.Internal penetration testing answers a critical question: what happens after an attacker gets past the perimeter? Whether through a phishing email, a compromised VPN credential, or a rogue contractor, insider access is one of the most dangerous threat vectors organizations face today.Our pentesters operate from the perspective of someone who already has low-level network access. We attempt to escalate privileges, move laterally across systems, and access sensitive data stores that should be restricted. This reveals weaknesses in Active Directory configurations, network segmentation, endpoint security, and internal application access controls.The findings from an internal pentest directly strengthen your security posture against ransomware attacks, which rely on lateral movement to maximize damage. Our reports include a prioritized remediation roadmap so your IT team knows exactly where to focus first for the greatest risk reduction.
