Penetration Testing Services

If conducted by an inexperienced tester or without due attention, penetration testing can do more harm than good. Before conducting pentesting, you need to consider its major drawbacks:

<ul class=apriorit-list-markers-green>
<li>High cost of mistakes, as improper testing can crash servers or expose data</li>
<li><a href=/dev-blog/how-to-manage-constraints-in-software-development-effectively>Time and scope limitations</a> can significantly affect the comprehensiveness of testing</li>
</ul>

Apriorit efficiently mitigates these issues with extensive experience in penetration testing and cybersecurity, ensuring thorough, unbiased assessments that prioritize meaningful improvements and enhance overall security.

The cost of penetration testing depends on factors such as:

<ul class=apriorit-list-markers-green>
<li>Testing type (e.g., red teaming, web app testing)</li>
<li>Approach (white-/gray-/black-box)</li>
<li>Targets (applications, user roles)</li>
<li>Team qualifications (number of testers)</li>
</ul>

These variables can significantly influence the overall cost as the scope and complexity of penetration testing projects differ. At Apriorit, we offer transparent pricing structures tailored to your specific needs.

<p>Yes, Apriorit can not only identify security flaws through our extensive pentesting services but can also effectively remediate them. With 20 years of experience in cybersecurity, our expert team possesses the knowledge and skills to address vulnerabilities discovered in the testing process.</p>

From patching software weaknesses to implementing robust security measures, we ensure comprehensive protection for your systems, providing peace of mind and safeguarding against potential cyber threats.

<p>Vulnerability scanning identifies known vulnerabilities within a system, providing a snapshot of potential weaknesses. Penetration testing goes further by simulating real-world attacks to exploit vulnerabilities and assess the system’s resilience.</p>

At Apriorit, we excel in both approaches. For your system, we can perform <a href=/rd-services/security-testing>vulnerability scanning</a> to identify weaknesses and penetration testing to evaluate system defenses. As a result, you’ll get a full picture of your security posture.

<p>The recommended frequency of penetration testing varies based on the industry, regulations, system changes, and the threat landscape. For example, at Apriorit, we offer testing when you need to comply with regulatory requirements, roll out significant updates, or experience security incidents. We can also conduct annual testing for ongoing security monitoring.</p> 

If your software product is in a high-risk industry like finance, healthcare, or government, you can perform penetration testing more frequently to ensure ongoing risk mitigation.

<p>Defining the scope and goals of a pentesting project involves three steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Identifying primary business risks and crucial data.</li>
<li>Analyzing the system architecture and prioritizing components for pentesting.</li>
<li>Prioritizing pentesting tasks based on risks, known weaknesses, and your specific goals.</li>
</ol>

At Apriorit, we work closely with you to flesh out the scope of testing and target specific components that require the most attention.
