White box pentesting is a method of penetration testing where the tester has full access to the internal information and details of your system. This includes source codes, network diagrams, server configurations and all relevant documentation. The tester has the same knowledge and information as an internal employee involved in the security of your system. This provides a very detailed and in-depth understanding of the internal workings of your digital environment.
Grey Box Pentest
Grey Box pentesting is a multi-faceted approach to penetration testing that lies somewhere between White Box and Black Box pen testing. In Grey Box pen testing, the tester has some prior knowledge of your system, similar to what an outside attacker might gather by analyzing public information. This limited insider knowledge provides a realistic assessment of security from the perspective of a potential attacker.
Black Box Pentest
Black Box pentesting is an approach to penetration testing in which the tester has no prior knowledge of your system. The tester starts with the same level of information as an outside malicious hacker. This creates a realistic attack scenario to assess your organization's security effectiveness.

Frequently asked questions about a pentest
What is a penetration test?
A penetration test, also called a pentest, is a controlled simulation of a cyber attack on a system, network or application to identify vulnerabilities and evaluate the overall security
Why are penetration tests important for my organization?
Pentests are crucial for identifying security weaknesses in your systems before malicious hackers do. They help you proactively close vulnerabilities and improve your security measures.
What is the cost of a penetration test?
The cost of a penetration test varies based on the scope of the project and the systems to be tested. It is common to receive customized quotes based on your specific needs.
How often should my organization conduct a pentest?
The frequency of pentesting depends on the nature of your organization, changing security threats and regulatory requirements. Periodic pentests, such as annually or after significant system changes, are often recommended.
What happens if vulnerabilities are found during the pentest?
When vulnerabilities are discovered, they are documented and reported to the owner of the system. The owner can then take steps to fix the vulnerabilities.
Are penetration tests only relevant to large organizations?
No, penetration testing is relevant to organizations of all sizes. Small and medium-sized businesses can also face significant risks and can benefit from pentesting.
