How A Network Assessment Works
Your Cybersecurity in Real-World Conditions
How strong are your cyber-defences? The only way to know for certain is to test them. Carden IT Services’ penetration testing safely simulates real-world cyberattacks, using the same tools and techniques as malicious hackers without the risk. Test
What is Penetration Testing?
Penetration testing, or ‘pen testing’, involves authorised attempts to breach your network to uncover vulnerabilities before criminals can exploit them. Our testers evaluate your firewalls, email systems, cloud security, and even human factors such as social engineering.
Why Penetration Testing Is Vital
You can never know the strength of your security until it’s tested under real conditions. Pen testing provides actionable insight into weak points, allowing you to fix them before attackers find them.
The Five Stages of Penetration Testing:
- 1. Planning and Reconnaissance: Our testers gather public information about your organisation, team, and infrastructure to mimic real attacker tactics.
- 2. Scanning: Automated tools are used to detect open ports and exploitable vulnerabilities.
- 3. Gaining Access: Using the identified weaknesses, testers attempt to enter your network and assess your defences.
- 4. Maintaining Access: Once inside, they test whether ongoing access can be maintained and privileges escalated.
- 5. Post Mortem: A detailed report is produced showing what was compromised, how, and how to prevent it happening again.
How Carden IT Services Helps
Network Asset Inventory
Gain Complete Visibility of Your IT Infrastructure
You cannot protect what you don’t know exists. A complete Network Asset Inventory ensures that every device, software licence, and configuration across your network is accounted for.
Without accurate tracking, security patches lapse, licences expire, and forgotten devices create hidden vulnerabilities.
Our Network Asset Inventory services help you:
- Identify every device connected to your network
- Ensure operating systems and software are up to date
- Eliminate unnecessary licences and costs
- Maintain consistent configurations and security policies
