Penetration Testing

At Hive Systems, we understand that in today's digital age, cybersecurity is a major concern for any business that operates online. We understand the importance of protecting your digital assets from real-world threats, not just what “may” happen. That’s why Hive Systems offers offensive and defensive penetration testing services designed to closely simulate and defend against the same attacks hackers use with the goal of finding and filling the gaps in your suit of security armor. Our expert cybersecurity professionals, holding credentials including CEH, GPEN, and OSCP, are dedicated to providing you with top-notch services to ensure your systems and networks remain secure.

Our Services

We offer a range of Offensive and Defensive Security services to help you identify potential weaknesses and improve your organization's security posture, including:

  • Black Box Testing: Our Black Box Testing service involves testing your systems and networks without any prior knowledge of your environment, simulating an attack by an external threat actor. Our team uses a combination of manual and automated testing techniques to identify any potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers.

  • White Box Testing: Our White Box Testing service is a comprehensive analysis of your systems and networks from an internal perspective. Our team is granted contextual access to your systems, allowing us to test across roles and privilege levels to identify any potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited by internal or external attackers that have already gained access to your internal networks.

  • Red Team: Our Red Team service involves an unannounced attack (to your cybersecurity and IT teams at least) on your organization to identify any potential security weaknesses that could be exploited by attackers. Our team will act as the attacker, using a combination of technical and non-technical attacks to identify potential security weaknesses, and compromise as much as possible before detection and response successfully stops them or an agreed upon scope or objective is completed. 

  • Blue Team: Our Blue Team service is focused on improving your organization's ability to defend against cyber threats. We work with your team to evaluate your security controls and processes, especially those associated with monitoring, detection and response, during Red Team or other planned offensive security exercises. These tests are designed to obtain real time feedback and lessons learned on the effectiveness of the organization’s defensive security posture including the comprehensiveness of its incident response plan and procedures.

  • Purple Team: Our Purple Team service is a collaborative approach to security testing, combining our Red and Blue team services. We work with your organization to identify any potential security weaknesses and provide recommendations to mitigate those risks while providing real time feedback on the state of defensive controls. This includes providing recommendations for potential tweaks and changes that can be made to detection methods employed by our Red Team testers.

  • Vulnerability Assessment: Our Vulnerability Assessment service is focused on assessing the vulnerability posture of your systems and networks using commercially available tools, or in-house vulnerability scanning tools and remediation workflows. We use a combination of manual and automated validation techniques to identify vulnerabilities and their root causes, risk rate them, and provide recommendations to prioritize and mitigate any risks identified. We also evaluate your internal vulnerability management processes, and provide recommendations where necessary to improve the effectiveness of the vulnerability management program.

  • Web Application Security Assessment: Our Web Application Security Assessment service is focused on identifying potential weaknesses specifically in your web applications and portals. We once again use a combination of automated and manual testing techniques on production or non-production instances to identify any security weaknesses in your web applications and provide recommendations to mitigate those risks. Our team will work with your developers to help them understand the risks and potential impact of weaknesses identified, and on the development of remedial activities or appropriate mitigations to eliminate or reduce the risk of these weaknesses being exploited in the wild.

  • Breach Indicator Assessment: Our Breach Indicator Assessment service is designed to identify any indicators of a potential breach within your systems and networks. Our team will analyze security logs and systems to identify signs of a potential breach or persistent threat, allowing you to take action before any significant damage is done or appropriately respond to past events that are newly discovered.

  • Insider Threat and Social Engineering Assessment: Our Insider Threat and Social Engineering Assessment service is focused on identifying any potential weaknesses in your organization's security culture and security training programs that may result in insider threats or external threat actors gaining unauthorized access to your digital assets. Our team conducts simulated attacks to test your infrastructure and updates to security training programs, and / or develop training and train your workforce to increase your overall security posture.

Our Approach

When it comes to offensive and defensive security, there are no silver bullets, automated SaaS tools, or all-in-ones that can effectively cover all aspects of your information security footprint. That is why our approach relies on a variety of tools and techniques to provide comprehensive coverage of potential threat vectors, rather than relying strictly on automation. Some of the tools and methods we employ include:

  • Port scanners and network mapping tools for discovery and enumeration.

  • Exploit frameworks and payload generators to exploit common bugs.

  • Vulnerability scanners and assessment tools to automate low hanging fruit.

  • Web application scanners and fuzzers to efficiently test inputs and validation.

  • Manual attack methods (SQL injection, XSS, custom scripting, etc.) to complement automation.

  • Social engineering, physical security testing, and phishing to test the most vulnerable part of a workforce..its people.

  • Endpoint security, detection, and response tools to validate defensive posture.

  • Manual log analysis and automated SIEM tools for indicators of breaches and the effectiveness of detective and responsive controls.

At Hive Systems, we are committed to providing you with the best possible Offensive and Defensive Security services to ensure your systems and networks are secure. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help protect your organization from real-world cyber threats.
