Wireless Penetration Testing
An insecure Wi-Fi network opens up your organisation to a myriad of
attacks that could compromise your critical information.
What is a Wireless Penetration Test?
A Wireless Penetration test is an authorised hacking attempt, which is designed to detect and exploit vulnerabilities in security controls employed by a number of wireless technologies and standards, misconfigured access points, and weak security protocols.
Benefits to your business
- Ensure Compliance with PCI DSS and other security standards
- Audit security monitoring procedures and incident response tactics
- Detect vulnerabilities, misconfigured wireless devices, and rogue access points
- Reduce the risk and legal ramifications of a business breach
- Harden the wireless access path to your internal network
- Get independent security verification – of encryption and authentication policies – for devices interacting with your wireless network
- Prevent unauthorised use of your wireless network as a pivot for cyber attacks, which may be traced back to your organisation
- Provide management with a proof of exploit, which outlines the assets that an attack can compromise; such as, compromising critical data or gaining administrative level rights over routers and switches
Shearwater’s Wireless Penetration Testing Methodology
Shearwater: The Gold Standard in Penetration Testing
Here is how we raise the bar:
Comprehensive Reporting
Shearwater offers in-depth executive level reporting which serves as a risk minimisation tool for management, and a technical document – listing vulnerabilities prioritised according to risk level – for the internal security team. The report also provides access to mitigation strategies based on Shearwater’s key insights into the cyber-threat landscape.
Post Engagement Follow Up
Our post engagement follow-up is an additional benefit that allows clients to engage us with questions, or seek guidance on issues referred to in our report.
