Penetration Testing

Ten years ago, perimeter protections surrounded your infrastructure. Today the perimeter is everywhere.

ATOM, NH’s Premier Offensive Cybersecurity Team’s Penetration Score for 2023

Expert Application + API Testing

Whether your applications are on-premise, in AWS, AZURE, or IBM Cloud, we can help identify architectural, technology, and procedural weaknesses within your environment. We focus on application-level exploits with modern simulation based penetration testing to give you granular feedback about your application’s risk profile and attack surfaces.

For clients who need expert-level validation

Protecting your perimeter can be a daunting task. Meeting the modern security landscape is an ever-evolving challenge that caused us to reimagine how penetration testing is done. Our blue team is artfully trained, well-tooled, and deeply experienced to work with you to create testing you can trust.

Blue Team Penetration Testing done at The ATOM Group is completed following the Information Systems Security Assessment Framework (ISSAF) with special considerations for the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES) technical guidelines.

For clients preparing for a sophisticated attack:

  1. Realistic Threat Simulation: Red team penetration testing goes beyond automated scanning tools and focuses on replicating the tactics used by real hackers. This provides organizations with a more accurate understanding of their vulnerabilities.

  2. Comprehensive Vulnerability Assessment: Red teams identify vulnerabilities that may not be detected through traditional security assessments. They explore various attack vectors, from social engineering to network breaches, offering a holistic view of potential risks.

  3. Risk Prioritization: By identifying vulnerabilities and weaknesses, organizations can prioritize their security efforts. This ensures that resources are allocated to address the most critical and exploitable risks first.

  4. Validation of Security Controls: Red team tests the effectiveness of an organization's security controls, such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and employee awareness programs. This validation helps organizations fine-tune their security measures.

  5. Improvement of Incident Response: Red team exercises provide valuable insights into an organization's incident response capabilities. By experiencing a simulated attack, organizations can refine their response procedures and minimize downtime in case of an actual breach.

  6. Regulatory Compliance: Many industries have regulatory requirements for cybersecurity. Red team penetration testing helps organizations meet compliance standards and demonstrate their commitment to security.

  7. Enhanced Security Awareness: Red team engagements often involve social engineering tactics, highlighting the importance of employee awareness and training in preventing cyber threats.
