Testing internal network security to identify insider threats, lateral movement paths, and post-breach damage potential.
Internal network penetration testing simulates attacks from within your organization's network perimeter. We assess what damage could occur from insider threats, compromised credentials, or attackers who have breached your perimeter defenses.
Our testing evaluates lateral movement opportunities, privilege escalation paths, access to sensitive data, and the effectiveness of internal segmentation and security controls. We identify vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker to move deeper into your network and access critical assets.
This testing is essential for understanding your security posture from an insider perspective and implementing effective defense-in-depth strategies.
Common threats and attack paths within internal networks.
Testing password security, credential reuse, pass-the-hash attacks, Kerberos vulnerabilities, and credential dumping from memory.
Identifying paths to elevate privileges from standard user to administrator by exploiting misconfigurations and excessive permissions.
Assessing the ability to move between systems, access file shares, exploit trust relationships, and pivot to reach high-value targets.
Testing AD security including Kerberoasting, AS-REP roasting, Golden Ticket attacks, and other techniques targeting domain infrastructure.
Discovering accessible network shares, testing permissions, and identifying sensitive data exposure risks.
Testing internal database security, default credentials, and privilege escalation in database systems.
Evaluating segmentation effectiveness, VLAN hopping, and the ability to access restricted segments from lower-trust zones.
Identifying and exploiting vulnerable internal services, outdated software, and unpatched systems.
Testing for LLMNR/NBT-NS poisoning, SMB relay attacks, IPv6 attacks, and other protocol-level weaknesses.
Comprehensive approach simulating real-world insider threats and compromised access.
Starting from a standard user perspective, performing network discovery, host enumeration, and service identification.
Testing for credential exposure through network sniffing, password spraying, and Kerberos attacks.
Attempting to elevate privileges through exploitation of misconfigurations and abuse of excessive permissions.
Moving through the network to identify paths to critical assets and testing segmentation controls.
Attempting to compromise Active Directory, gain domain admin privileges, and assess full domain compromise impact.
Documenting all attack paths, mapping vulnerabilities to MITRE ATT&CK, and recommending defense improvements.
Critical for comprehensive, defense-in-depth security strategies.
Understand what malicious insiders or compromised employees could access, and evaluate internal access controls.
Test whether security controls provide effective defense after perimeter breach, validating segmentation limits attacker movement.
Adopt the "assume breach" security model by understanding what attackers could accomplish after gaining initial access.
Identify paths to your most critical assets and implement controls to protect high-value systems from internal compromise.
Test whether network segmentation effectively contains threats and validate that critical systems are properly isolated.
Meet regulatory requirements for internal security testing mandated by PCI DSS, HIPAA, and other frameworks.
Comprehensive documentation of internal security weaknesses and remediation guidance.
High-level overview of internal security posture, critical findings, and strategic recommendations.
Detailed maps showing privilege escalation paths, lateral movement routes, and access to critical assets.
Comprehensive documentation of vulnerabilities with CVSS scoring and MITRE ATT&CK technique mapping.
Prioritized recommendations for improving segmentation, hardening Active Directory, and implementing least privilege.
Specific guidance on segmentation strategies, monitoring, and controls to detect and prevent lateral movement.
Verification testing after remediation to confirm vulnerabilities have been addressed and segmentation is effective.
Understand your security from an insider perspective and identify vulnerabilities before they're exploited.
