Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) at COE Security

At COE Security, our Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS) provides continuous, on-demand, and scalable security assessments for organizations of all sizes. With the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats, traditional penetration testing can no longer be a one-time activity. Our PTaaS enables businesses to proactively identify vulnerabilities, test defenses, and improve their overall security posture by simulating real-world attacks in a continuous and efficient manner.

Through PTaaS, we offer flexible, comprehensive, and tailored penetration testing services that give you the ability to test your systems, networks, applications, and infrastructures on a recurring basis. This allows you to stay ahead of emerging threats and ensure that your defenses are always optimized.

With COE Security’s PTaaS, you benefit from a continuous and scalable approach to penetration testing, enabling you to enhance your security defenses without interrupting business operations.

Our Approach

Define scope and objectives: Identify systems, assets, and test depth with input from key stakeholders.
Onboard clients to the PTaaS platform: Grant secure access to a dashboard for scheduling, tracking, and visibility.
Baseline security assessment: Run initial scans to gauge current posture and flag basic vulnerabilities.
Perform active reconnaissance: Map exposed assets and services to define the effective attack surface.
Execute vulnerability scanning: Use automated tools to uncover CVEs, weak services, and misconfigurations.

Manual exploitation and advanced testing: Manually validate and exploit critical vulnerabilities to mimic real-world attacks.
Continuous vulnerability monitoring: Continuously scan and test for new risks throughout the service period.
Real-time reporting and collaboration: Instantly share findings via the dashboard with actionable fix guidance.
Remediation support and validation: Help fix issues and re-test to confirm they’re properly resolved.
Final report and strategic insights: Deliver a summary report with technical findings and security recommendations.

Five areas of Penetration Testing as a Service

Application Penetration Testing

Application Penetration Testing is designed to identify vulnerabilities within your software applications. These could include web applications, desktop applications, or mobile apps. Our team tests for a wide range of flaws like cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, insufficient authentication, and broken access controls. Using both manual techniques and automated tools, we simulate real-world cyberattacks to uncover hidden security flaws that could expose your system to malicious actors. After assessing your application’s code, configurations, and behavior, we provide detailed, actionable remediation steps. The goal is to enhance your application’s overall security and protect sensitive user data. Our penetration tests ensure that your applications are secure, reducing the likelihood of exploitation and ensuring compliance with industry regulations such as OWASP standards.

Network Penetration Testing

Network Penetration Testing involves simulating cyberattacks to test your network infrastructure for vulnerabilities. Our team targets your firewalls, routers, switches, and other critical network devices to identify weaknesses that may be exploited by attackers. We test both external and internal networks to evaluate your network defenses thoroughly. Our testing focuses on identifying misconfigurations, open ports, weak firewall rules, and outdated software that could allow an intrusion. This service helps safeguard your organization’s network perimeter and ensures that attackers can’t gain unauthorized access to your sensitive information. Once vulnerabilities are identified, we provide a detailed action plan with prioritized fixes to enhance your security measures and reduce the risk of potential cyberattacks.

API Penetration Testing

API Penetration Testing focuses on evaluating the security of your application programming interfaces (APIs). APIs are often a weak point for cybersecurity because they are exposed to external threats and often fail to have sufficient protection. We simulate real-world attacks to assess whether your APIs are vulnerable to issues like insufficient encryption, unauthorized data access, and data leakage. Our testing ensures that your authentication mechanisms are secure and that data integrity is maintained. We also review the API endpoints for vulnerabilities that may expose your system to risks. The results include a clear, actionable report that helps you understand your API’s security gaps and provides remediation guidance to secure sensitive data, protect users, and strengthen your overall infrastructure.

Cloud Security Testing

As organizations increasingly rely on cloud services, Cloud Security Penetration Testing is essential to ensuring the security of cloud-based infrastructure. We conduct thorough testing on your cloud environment, including platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, to identify any potential vulnerabilities. These may include misconfigurations, poor access controls, or gaps in data encryption. Our team performs both manual penetration tests and automated scans to uncover vulnerabilities specific to your cloud setup. Once vulnerabilities are identified, we offer remediation advice tailored to cloud-specific risks, ensuring that your cloud environment remains secure and compliant with regulatory standards. This service reduces the risk of data breaches and helps prevent unauthorized access to critical cloud-based resources.

Red Teaming Security Services

Red Teaming Security Services provide an advanced approach to testing the overall security posture of your organization. In this service, our experts simulate an advanced persistent threat (APT) or sophisticated cyberattack to assess your defenses from an adversarial perspective. We use a combination of social engineering, physical security assessments, network infiltration, and exploitation of weaknesses in applications, systems, and procedures. The objective is to test not only the technical defenses but also your response to a real-world cyberattack. This service helps you evaluate how well your team would respond in a real-world incident, enabling you to improve your overall defense mechanisms, incident response capabilities, and crisis management processes. Our Red Team assessments go beyond penetration testing to provide a holistic view of your organization’s security readiness.
