PENETRATION TESTING
WHAT IT IS AND WHY YOU NEED IT

Can you withstand a cyber-attack?

Are you sure?

Imagine the embarrassment of having to notify your clients and vendors that, because of you, their information may now also be in the hands of cybercriminals; paying pricey emergency IT fees while your operations are halted or severely limited for days or weeks, data loss, lost clients, potential lawsuits or government fines for violating data-breach laws. Your bank account drained, with no bank protection.

It doesn’t have to be that way; our independent third-party Penetration Test can change the perspective and the conversation about cybersecurity.

Nearly every data breach is preventable

Unfortunately, cybercriminals rely on the common belief that just because you’ve been able to avoid an incident like this in the past, you’re safe now.

Secure yourself and your data with a penetration test

Our independent third-party penetration test will show you how easy it is for hackers to get to your information, and create a plan to make sure your team is adhering to good cyber hygiene.

The Pen Test is a real-life demonstration of how hackers could get onto your business network, what they could steal or lock down, an easy checkup on user behavior and how IT has been managing things so far —a good test that they’re actually doing their jobs.

How a Level 1 Third-Party Penetration Test works

• Step 1: You receive an email containing an executable. You click on the executable (simulating what happens when a link in an email is clicked).
• Step 2: You forward that email to 3-5 employees whose devices are connected to your network, and you want to use in the test (C-Level, HR, Accounting, etc.).
• Step 3: Let the executable run once. This takes between 5 minutes and an hour (up to 2.5 hours on older machines). Go about your normal routine as it runs.
• Step 4: We will analyze your results and present our findings as to what a hacker would find on your network. This will include cloud drives, One Drive, DropBox, Box, SharePoint and other file-sharing programs.

These findings include

• Security Patches & Vulnerability Management: Discover whether your network has vulnerabilities resulting from patch management issues.
• Your Network’s Perimeter Defense: Using multilayered boundaries, including a firewall, intrusion prevention and intrusion detection are more critical today than ever before. Our scanner will test whether your firewalls are configured correctly and whether they appropriately alarm.
• Identity & Access Management: Learn if your team is using stale, repeated or crackable passwords for accounts on your network. We’ll help you institute security best practices for handling passwords and credentials, such as the usage of multi-factor authentication for remote access, critical accounts and administrative accounts, enforcement of a strong password policy, absence of default and/or shared accounts and more.
• Identify Serious Data Leaks: Locate where sensitive data is stored on your network and make sure it’s being guarded. Hackers commonly exploit both your network and data assets when attacking your network.
• Measure Your Malware Defenses: Determine if you have an appropriate cyber stack that will respond to a simulated virus attack. Deployment of a solution which controls the installation, spread, and execution of malicious code at multiple points is critical.
• Information To Inform Your Cybersecurity Decision Making: Gauge where your cybersecurity REALLY is today. Learn whether data encryption is functioning properly, what information about what a hacker can see around an infected device, and whether your network would withstand an attack (even on one machine!).

What happens next

After the results of initial Level 1 Penetration Test are presented and discussed you will decide on one of several courses of action:

• Inform your current IT company or in-house IT personnel of the results and depend on them to bring your cybersecurity up-to-par. Which they haven’t been able to do so far.
• Enter into a Managed Services/Security Agreement with Blue Bay where Blue Bay assumes management and control over your IT infrastructure.
• Enter into a Co-Managed Services Agreement with Blue Bay where Blue Bay works side-by-side with your current IT support to augment their efforts and allow them to focus on their more strategic objectives.
• Or do nothing, leaving your company at risk.

If an agreement is entered into, the effort to bring your IT infrastructure up to the latest cybersecurity standards is considered a project and not included in a management/maintenance support agreement.
