Your externally exposed infrastructure comprised of applications, servers, and any externally facing IOT technology is the first point of contact to your organization attackers have direct access to. Grey Zone Security specializes in asset discovery to uncover vulnerabilities that threat actors can leverage immediately or have potentially already exploited.
> Our Testing Methodology
Reconnaissance and Information Gathering:
We begin by collecting publicly available information about your external attack surface, including domains, IP ranges, email addresses, and exposed services. This phase mimics how real attackers would profile your organization before launching an attack.
Vulnerability Assessment and Threat Modeling:
Our team systematically scans and analyzes all identified external assets to discover security weaknesses, misconfigurations, and outdated software. We prioritize findings based on exploitability, business impact, and the likelihood of real-world threat actors targeting these vulnerabilities.
Exploitation and Access Validation:
We attempt to exploit identified vulnerabilities to demonstrate real-world risk and validate the severity of findings. All exploitation activities are conducted in a controlled manner with proper safeguards to minimize disruption to business operations.
Web Application and API Security Testing:
We conduct comprehensive testing of externally-facing web applications and APIs, examining for common vulnerabilities such as injection flaws, broken authentication, and insecure configurations. Our testing includes both automated scanning and manual validation to identify business logic flaws that automated tools will miss.
Security Control Testing:
We evaluate the effectiveness of your defensive measures, including firewalls, intrusion detection systems, web application firewalls, and monitoring capabilities. This assessment reveals whether your security investments are functioning as intended against sophisticated attack techniques.
Authentication and Access Control Testing:
We rigorously test authentication mechanisms, password policies, multi-factor authentication implementations, and session management controls. This includes attempting credential-based attacks, testing for authentication bypasses, and validating that authorization controls properly restrict access to sensitive resources.
Network Service Exploitation:
We analyze and test all exposed network services and protocols for exploitable weaknesses, including mail servers, VPN gateways, remote access services, and custom applications. Our testing simulates real-world attack vectors that threat actors use to gain unauthorized access to network infrastructure.
