Protection to the Outside.
An External Penetration Test exploits vulnerabilities to determine what information is exposed to the outside world. It is a mandatory test required for many compliance regulations.
An External Penetration Test imitates the actions of an attacker equipped with tools and resources that have the capability to break through security defences from outside of the internal network.
It’s important to understand that External Penetration Testing is not a substitute for or inclusive of Web Application Penetration Testing. Websites have their own testing category which requires different Penetration Testing methods.
Diligence & peace of mind.

Preparedness
Eaternal testing assists organisations in improving their external facing security posture.
Assurance
Provide assurance to board and executive level personnel as well as key stakeholders.
