- What is the goal of internal penetration testing?To identify security weaknesses that could be exploited by insiders or attackers with internal access, before they lead to breaches.
- How is internal pen testing different from external testing?External testing targets internet-facing systems, while internal testing simulates attacks from within the network.
- How often should internal pen tests be performed?At least annually or after significant infrastructure changes, mergers, or compliance audits.
- Is internal pen testing required for compliance?Yes, standards like PCI DSS, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 recommend or require internal assessments.
- Can internal pen tests detect insider threats?Yes, they reveal how insiders or compromised devices could move laterally and escalate privileges.
- What is Internal Penetration Testing?
It simulates an attacker inside your network (e.g., malicious insider or compromised device). The goal is to identify how far they can go, what data they can access, and how to stop them.
- Do you test Active Directory (AD)?
Yes, AD security assessment is standard in Pro and Enterprise plans. We test for misconfigs, weak permissions, and escalation paths.
