Penetration Testing
Learn exactly how vulnerable your most critical assets are to cyber attacks
Organizations do all they can to protect their critical cyber assets, but they don’t always systematically test their defenses. Penetration Testing from Mandiant Consulting helps you strengthen your security for those assets by pinpointing vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in your security systems.
Overview
To provide this service, Mandiant security experts simulate the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) of real-world attackers targeting your high-risk cyber assets. Our deep knowledge of advanced persistent threat (APT) attacker behavior can help you:
- Determine whether your critical data is actually at risk
- Identify and mitigate complex security vulnerabilities before an attacker exploits them
- Gain insight into attacker motivations and targets
- Get quantitative results that help measure the risk associated with your critical assets
- Identify and mitigate vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that could lead to strategic compromise
What you get
- High level executive summary report
- Technical documentation that allows you to recreate our findings
- Fact-based risk analysis to validate results
- Tactical recommendations for immediate improvement
- Strategic recommendations for longer-term improvement

Real attacks. Real learning. Real refinement.
Penetration tests conducted by Cherub and Mandiant Consultants are customized to your environment; no two assessments are ever the same. A wide variety of penetration testing options are available, with each option providing information that can dramatically improve security in your organization.
Our approach
The penetration testing service applies a systematic approach to uncovering vulnerabilities that leave your critical assets at risk. It is comprised of four steps: target reconnaissance, vulnerability enumeration, vulnerability exploitation and mission accomplishment.
In target reconnaissance, Cherub and our partner Mandiant consultants gather information about your environment, including company systems, usernames, group memberships and applications.
For vulnerability enumeration, Mandiant security professionals seek to identify your exploitable vulnerabilities and determine the best way to take advantage of them.
In vulnerability exploitation, penetration testers attempt to realistically exploit the identified vulnerabilities using a combination of publicly available exploit code, commercial penetration testing tools and customized exploit code and tools.
Finally, we arrive at mission accomplishment, which may be in the form of Mandiant experts gaining access to your internal environment via the Internet, stealing data from segmented environments or subverting a device with malicious commands.
