Technology is a double-edged sword

Any organisation that uses online or internal applications is at risk.

While the technologies you use may boost efficiencies and facilitate growth, each application also offers a potential opportunity for malicious individuals to compromise your systems. It’s crucial to guard against this by building penetration testing into your security strategy, since this helps to identify and address any vulnerabilities before they impact your business.

Our penetration testing services are CREST-approved, demonstrating our outstanding quality when it comes to operating procedures, data security, and approach.

    FAQs

    1.
    What is application penetration testing?
    A typical penetration test models malicious cyber attacks by real-world hackers to determine the robustness of your web or mobile applications, or other connected products, against such threats.

    At Arcturus, all our tests are carried out by experienced, accredited professionals, using a bespoke combination of the latest tools and techniques to assess your systems and identify any vulnerabilities. We then provide clear, practical advice on how you can secure these gaps and better protect your business.
    2.
    Why does my business need penetration testing?
    Left unchecked, business-critical applications can conceal weaknesses which present opportunities for external hackers and disgruntled or opportunistic insiders to compromise your systems. Not only does this expose both your organisation's and your customers' data to potential misuse, it can also put you at risk of severe reputational and financial loss in the event of a data breach. The cyber threat is constantly evolving, so it's vital to implement regular testing and ensure that your security set-up is equipped to keep pace.
    3.
    Which applications should I test?
    Any applications that have been modified specifically for your business, either in-house or by a third-party, should undergo a penetration test to verify that there are no vulnerabilities that will leave you at risk.
    4.
    How long does penetration testing take?
    The length of a penetration test can vary from approximately two days to two weeks, depending on the scale of your systems and the number of applications and products that you use or provide.

    Our consultants work with you to determine a timeframe for your particular requirements, ensuring that your business is thoroughly vetted.
    5.
    How much does penetration testing cost?
    The cost of a penetration test depends primarily on the number of days required to ensure total coverage of your applications.

    We build a proposal with you upfront, based on your success criteria, with no hidden fees. It’s worth remembering that the cost of penetration testing is far less than the crippling costs associated with post-breach remediation.
