DescriptionGo beyond automated scans and discover what a real-world attacker could do to your business. The Sophos Penetration Testing Service is an in-depth advisory service where certified ethical hackers simulate a comprehensive cyberattack to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in your network, applications, and even your people. Unlike a simple vulnerability scan, a penetration test is an objective-based manual assessment that mimics an attacker's steps, providing you with a true understanding of your security posture and a clear plan to fix it. |

FAQs for Penetration Testing
Q: What is the difference between a Penetration Test and a Vulnerability Scan?
A: A Vulnerability Scan is an automated tool that finds potential weaknesses. A Penetration Test is a manual, human-led effort that exploits those weaknesses to see how far an attacker could get. It's the difference between checking for an unlocked door and actually opening it and walking inside.
Q: How long does this assessment take to complete?
A: A typical penetration test takes one to three weeks, depending on the size and complexity of your network and applications. We will work with you to define the scope before the project begins.
Q: What do I receive at the end?
A: You will receive a comprehensive report that details all vulnerabilities found, ranked by risk (Critical, High, Medium, Low). Each finding includes a technical description, proof-of-concept for the exploit, and clear, actionable steps your team can use to fix the issue.
