Penetration Testing
CyberGuard Advantage’s network and application penetration testing meets or exceeds the requirements for all well-known and established regulatory and compliance standards, including PCI DSS, FISMA, MARS-E, HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, ISO, and many more. Our methodology is based on the industry-accepted penetration testing approach derived from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) (“NIST SP 800-115”) – “Technical Guide to Information Security Testing and Assessment”, the Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual (“OSSTMM”) – authored by the Institute for Security and Open Methodologies (“ISECON”), and the Open Web Application Security Project (“OWASP”) testing methodologies. These methodologies were then augmented by CyberGuard Advantage's proprietary Penetration Testing Methodology.
CyberGuard Advantage can perform a multitude of penetration testing, including:- Infrastructure Penetration Testing
- Web Application Penetration Testing
- API Penetration Testing
- Mobile Application Penetration Testing
- Autonomous Penetration Testing as a Service (APTaaS)
- Wi-Fi Penetration Testing
A penetration test of any sort ultimately consists of the following steps:
- Research and Plan
- Collect Information
- Testing and Discovering Vulnerabilities
- Reporting and Documentation
Penetration testing is ethical hacking conducted by a security professional to uncover potential vulnerabilities, which can consequently lead to a data breach. This test can help a company remediate any issues before they are possibly exploited by a real intruder.
Infrastructure Penetration Testing

Mobile Application Penetration Testing
CyberGuard Advantage’s Mobile Penetration Testing service focuses on securing mobile applications and protecting sensitive user data from cyber threats. Our experts conduct in-depth assessments of mobile apps on Android and iOS platforms to uncover vulnerabilities such as insecure data storage, weak authentication mechanisms, improper platform usage, and susceptibility to malware or reverse engineering. By employing industry standards like OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide (MSTG), we simulate real-world attack scenarios to identify security gaps that could be exploited by malicious actors. Our detailed reports provide actionable insights, including prioritized recommendations to address identified vulnerabilities. Whether your app is consumer-facing or enterprise-focused, CyberGuard Advantage ensures its security, compliance, and user trust in today’s mobile-driven world.
Autonomous Penetration Testing as a Service (APTaaS)
CyberGuard Advantage’s Autonomous Penetration Testing as a Service (APTaaS) revolutionizes security by providing continuous, automated penetration testing to identify and address vulnerabilities in real time. Unlike traditional, point-in-time testing, APTaaS ensures ongoing security evaluations, adapting dynamically to changes in your environment. Using advanced automation technologies, the service simulates sophisticated attack scenarios across servers, workstations, network devices, firewalls, and endpoints, delivering immediate insights into potential risks. APTaaS offers detailed dashboards and actionable reports, enabling rapid remediation and maintaining compliance with security standards. Ideal for dynamic and complex IT landscapes, this proactive approach empowers organizations to stay ahead of emerging threats, ensuring comprehensive and cost-effective protection. With CyberGuard Advantage’s APTaaS, businesses gain a scalable, always-on security solution tailored to their evolving needs.
Wi-Fi Penetration Testing
CyberGuard Advantage’s Wi-Fi Penetration Testing service ensures the security of your wireless networks, protecting sensitive data from unauthorized access and cyberattacks. Our experts conduct comprehensive assessments to identify vulnerabilities such as weak encryption protocols, misconfigurations, rogue access points, and susceptibility to credential theft or man-in-the-middle attacks. By simulating real-world scenarios, we evaluate the effectiveness of your wireless network's security controls, uncovering gaps that could compromise your organization. Using industry standards and best practices, we deliver detailed reports with actionable recommendations to enhance your wireless infrastructure's resilience. Whether for corporate offices, public hotspots, or enterprise networks, CyberGuard Advantage helps safeguard your Wi-Fi environments, ensuring secure connectivity and maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements.
