Each penetration test that is completed by Kybr is done by actual humans with years of experience and knowledge. We only use humans for penetration tests and stand by our results!
Unlike standard penetration testing, which often relies on automated tools and a generic, one-size-fits-all methodology, our bespoke penetration testing is a highly customized process crafted specifically for your organization. Standard tests might run broad scans that overlook unique vulnerabilities in your systems, whereas our approach involves a detailed analysis of your specific infrastructure.
Penetration testing is a critical step in safeguarding your business because it proactively identifies vulnerabilities before cybercriminals can exploit them. In today’s landscape, where breaches cost millions and damage reputations overnight, simply reacting to incidents isn’t enough. Our bespoke testing simulates real-world attacks tailored to your setup, revealing how attackers could infiltrate your systems.
We have the flexibility and expertise to test virtually any system or component that’s vital to your operations. This includes internal and external networks, web and mobile applications, cloud-hosted platforms like AWS or Azure, IoT devices, and even physical security controls like smart locks or access systems. Our bespoke approach means we don’t limit ourselves to a predefined checklist—instead, we work with you to pinpoint the assets most critical to your business, whether it’s customer databases, proprietary software, or remote work tools.
Yes, our penetration testing is designed with safety as a top priority to ensure there’s no impact on your live systems or day-to-day operations. Before we begin, we collaborate closely with you to understand your environment and define boundaries, such as which systems are off-limits or require special care. Our ethical hackers use controlled, non-disruptive methods to simulate attacks, avoiding any actions that could crash servers, slow performance, or interrupt workflows. We schedule testing at times that suit your business and maintain open communication throughout, so you’re always in the loop.
The frequency of penetration testing depends on your business’s risk profile, but as a general rule, we recommend conducting it at least once a year to keep pace with evolving threats. However, certain triggers warrant more frequent tests—like after major system upgrades, launching new applications, or expanding into cloud services. Regulatory requirements, such as PCI-DSS or HIPAA, might also mandate annual or semi-annual testing. During our initial consultation, we’ll assess your specific needs—considering factors like industry, data sensitivity, and past incidents.
Yes, every one of our penetration tests comes with a retest as part of the quote. We can only guarantee our results if we are able to retest after remediations have been made. Therefore we feel like it is necessary to retest.
If we discover a vulnerability during testing, we don’t just stop at pointing it out—we provide a comprehensive response to ensure you’re protected. You’ll receive a detailed report that explains the vulnerability in plain language, including how it was exploited, its potential impact (e.g., data theft or system downtime), and its severity level. We then offer step-by-step remediation guidance, tailored to your systems, so your IT team can address it effectively. If needed, we can assist with implementing fixes ourselves.
