Companies need to curb their vulnerability to internal breach efficiently through internal network testing. Internal breach of company networks can be initiated through a disgruntled employee, gaping terminal and/or a compromised first line of defence, allowing the attacker access to the system. An Internal Penetration test assesses company information security systems by imitating an actual attacker in an effort to exploit and expose the vulnerabilities in network security, internally. Weaknesses that may be used to unsettle the discretion, accessibility and honour of the network are examined and exposed by this test.
