The network penetration testing service assesses the security of internal or external network environments in accordance with the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES).

The assessment evaluates exposed network services, authentication mechanisms, and trust relationships to identify misconfigurations, weak access controls, and vulnerabilities that could enable unauthorized access, privilege escalation, or lateral movement. Testing emphasizes realistic attack paths rather than theoretical exposure.

Core infrastructure services such as directory services, file sharing, remote administration interfaces, and network management services are reviewed for insecure configurations and excessive access. The goal is to determine how an attacker could compromise systems within scope and move through the environment to access sensitive assets.
