Ethical Hacking, Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing
 “To stop a thief, think like one.” - This has been a mantra of Valor Concepts ever since our “Network Security” Division was established. Thus, in a detailed ethical hacking exercise, Valor Concepts' experts attempt to hack and test the IT assets of your organization seeking answers to three basic questions.
- What are the vulnerable points on the target systems?
The first phase involves finding out all the vulnerabilities which plague the IT assets which are critical to the working of an organization. The task of vulnerability detection is usually automated.
- How can the vulnerabilities be exploited?
The second stage to an ethical hacking / penetration testing exercise is to try and exploit some of the vulnerabilities found out by answering question 1. The goal is to find out any loophole which may enable a hacker to gain access to the IT architecture of the organization. This may include getting access to the Data server, application / web server, gaining higher privileges in sensitive applications or carrying out specific attacks to hamper the day to day functioning of the organization.
Can the attempts be detected and stopped?
While the first and second question are clearly important, the third is even more important: If the owners or operators of the target systems do not notice when someone is trying to break in, the intruders can, and will, spend weeks or months trying and will eventually succeed. The answers to these questions are found via the same methods that hackers may use, using the same set of tools including a lot of our own. This comprehensive analysis ensures that the client organization feels safe against all kind of vulnerabilities. Our Ethical Hacking expert’s consultants stay up-to-date on the latest methods and have the skills to apply them to our clients’ networks in a highly effective manner, keeping our clients many paces ahead of skilled bad guys.
