Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Assessment Services
Always win
When Security threats come, be ready
To win in the game, you first win on the practice field. For both sports and cybersecurity, the principle is the same. That’s why at Secure Halo™, we offer advanced penetration testing and vulnerability assessments so that when actual security threats come, your organization will be ready.
What's the Difference?
Penetration Testing vs. Vulnerability Assessments
Penetration Testing
Also known as ethical hacking, simulates real-world attacks to identify and exploit vulnerabilities while being in a controlled environment. It assesses your organization’s ability to withstand targeted attacks and provides actionable insights to remediate weaknesses and improve security controls.
Vulnerability Assessments
Focus on identifying potential vulnerabilities within your systems, networks, and applications. It provides a comprehensive overview of weaknesses, misconfigurations, and known vulnerabilities, helping you to prioritize remediation efforts more effectively.
Be Ready
Are You Prepared for When the Real Threat Comes? Gain Greater Confidence Through our Simulated Cybersecurity Tests.
As the digital landscape evolves, cybersecurity threats are becoming more sophisticated, leaving your organization and its sensitive data vulnerable to internal and external threats.
Penetration testing and vulnerability assessments are non-negotiable tools for identifying your organization’s security weaknesses and strengthening your team’s response when security threats occur.

How We Do It
Our Testing Methodologies
Secure Halo’s comprehensive cybersecurity testing techniques assess all levels of threats and varying degrees of intruder access.
These methodologies are integral to Secure Halo’s penetration testing services, and by combining these methodologies, we ensure a complete appraisal of your organization’s vulnerabilities to move towards improving its security posture.
Testing Method #1
White Box Testing
White box testing conducts a thorough vulnerability assessment with full transparency into the system’s code, architecture, and environment.
Final Result
This methodology allows for detailed and thorough identification of vulnerabilities, particularly those deep within the system that other testing methods might overlook. It is particularly effective in environments where security is paramount, and an in-depth understanding of the system is available.
Our Approach to White Box Testing
Total Access
Having complete access to the system’s source code, documentation, and architecture details to provide in-depth analysis
In-depth Analysis
Examining the system comprehensively, identifying vulnerabilities that are often missed in less transparent testing scenarios
Focused Testing
Designing targeted tests based on the system’s in-depth knowledge, allowing for more precise and efficient testing
Final Result
This methodology allows for detailed and thorough identification of vulnerabilities, particularly those deep within the system that other testing methods might overlook. It is particularly effective in environments where security is paramount, and an in-depth understanding of the system is available.
Testing Method #2
Grey Box Testing
Grey Box Testing provides a balanced testing scenario that simulates limited knowledge of the target system, mimicking an insider with partial system access.
Final Result
Grey box testing effectively provides a realistic perspective on how an insider attack could occur or how an external attacker could exploit system weaknesses with limited prior knowledge. It offers a good balance between depth and breadth of testing.
Our Approach to Grey Box Testing
Limited Access
Having partial knowledge and access to the system, such as API documentation or architecture diagrams, but do not have full source code access
Balanced Testing
Combining white box and black box testing strategies, allowing testers to assess internal and external vulnerabilities effectively
Efficient Identification
Knowing some details about the system so testers can quickly identify and focus on potentially vulnerable areas, making the testing process more efficient than black box testing
Final Result
Grey box testing effectively provides a realistic perspective on how an insider attack could occur or how an external attacker could exploit system weaknesses with limited prior knowledge. It offers a good balance between depth and breadth of testing.
Testing Method #3
Black Box Testing
Black Box Testing simulates an external cyber attack where the tester has no prior knowledge of the system’s internal workings.
Final Result
Black box testing is crucial for understanding how an attacker would view the system from an external viewpoint. It highlights visible vulnerabilities without any internal access, offering a clear picture of potential external threats.
Our Approach to Black Box Testing
Zero Internal Knowledge
Approaching the system as an external attacker would, without prior knowledge of the system’s internals
External Vulnerability Focus
Identifying vulnerabilities that someone could exploit from outside the system without any insider information
Real-world Attack Simulation
Closely mimics real-world attacks, providing valuable insights into how actual attackers might exploit system vulnerabilities
Final Result
Black box testing is crucial for understanding how an attacker would view the system from an external viewpoint. It highlights visible vulnerabilities without any internal access, offering a clear picture of potential external threats.
