Pentesting

Pentesting simulates attacks on computer systems to identify vulnerabilities

What is pentesting?

Penetration testing, or "pentesting," is a security exercise where experts simulate attacks on a computer system to identify vulnerabilities. The goal is to find weak spots that real attackers could exploit and provide insights to improve security.

Sicra and pentesting

Sicra, in collaboration with River Security, offers comprehensive pentesting services. These include traditional penetration testing and Active Focus, which combines continuous security testing with ethical hacking-as-a-service. This approach provides real-time insights into vulnerabilities and prioritizes actions based on actual risk, ensuring continuous protection against threats.
