Penetration Testing
Discover your weaknesses before a real attacker does.
One vulnerability
is all it takes
At Anantis, our penetration tests go beyond automated scans. Certified experts manually simulate real attacks to find exploitable vulnerabilities in your apps, servers, endpoints, and networks.
You receive a prioritized and immediately actionable remediation plan designed to strengthen your defenses where it matters most.
Three Approaches Simulating Real-World Attacks
Black Box
Simulates the perspective of an external attacker with no prior knowledge of your systems.
Grey Box
Partial knowledge of the environment, such as user credentials or technical documentation.
White Box
Comprehensive knowledge of the environment, including source code, architecture, and documentation.
Penetration Testing Categories
External
Identify externally exploitable vulnerabilities in a defined perimeter.
Internal
Simulate insider threats or compromised user scenarios to access sensitive data and take control of the domain.
Web Application
Detect and demonstrate flaws in web applications and APIs.
Mobile
Identify security weaknesses in Android or iOS applications.
Source Code Review
Static analysis of source code to uncover logical flaws and insecure development patterns.
Wi-Fi
Identify vulnerabilities in wireless networks to assess internal access risks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a penetration test (or pentest)?
Penetration testing is an offensive security assessment designed to simulate a real-world attack under controlled conditions. It aims to identify, exploit, and demonstrate the impact of real vulnerabilities within your target environment.
Every step is documented in a clear, structured, and actionable report that enables your teams to respond effectively.
How does it differ from a vulnerability scan?
A vulnerability scan is an automated tool that quickly detects some known weaknesses. It remains limited and doesn't take into account the context and unique aspects of your environment.
A penetration test, on the other hand, relies on in-depth human analysis. The tester adapts to the target, develops realistic attack scenarios, and uses creative thinking to uncover weaknesses. This work cannot be replaced by any automated tool.
Can I trust any penetration testing provider?
Unfortunately, no. Many vendors offer low-cost services that are simply rebranded vulnerability scans.
This practice creates a false sense of security and undermines the value of true offensive testing. Always ensure your penetration tests are performed by certified professionals delivering thorough and rigorous audits.
When should I schedule a penetration test?
If it's been more than a year since your last test, it's time to act. New threats constantly emerge, and systems evolve — what was secure yesterday may be vulnerable today.
Even with strong internal controls, only an experienced external perspective can truly validate your security posture. Waiting for an incident is never a strategy.
