Whether to meet regulatory requirements or as part of an ongoing information assurance program, Accuvant is frequently asked to perform a 'penetration test', which in its truest form is as much of a 'capture-the-flag' type of exercise as any type of comprehensive analysis of security vulnerabilities.

Accuvant treats penetration testing as a component of our testing methodology in which the assessor focuses all efforts on compromising potential flaws within the environment. Whether targeting a perimeter network environment and the assets exposed to the Internet, a web based application that allows users access to sensitive data, or an internal environment portraying the 'insider threat' scenario, Accuvant incorporates penetration testing activities into many of our assessment phases and optional components to ensure a comprehensive view of the security posture of the target environment is obtained.

As the scopes of Accuvant's assessments are custom defined based on the needs of our clients, should a purely blind penetration test be required, Accuvant is happy to oblige and will collaboratively define the targeted environments and data assets to ensure our clients are achieving their information security goals.
