External Network Testing
Arotech’s External Network Penetration Testing evaluates your business’s internet-facing attack surface to find vulnerabilities an external attacker could exploit. We simulate real-world attacks against public-facing infrastructure, services and edge controls to show where an adversary could gain initial access or disrupt operations — and how to stop them.
Why It Matters
Your internet-facing systems are the first place attackers probe for weaknesses, so regular testing is essential to reduce exposure.
Ø Weak external controls may allow attackers to bypass perimeter defences and access sensitive systems.
Ø Exposed APIs and services increase the risk of data theft, fraud or service disruption.
Ø Insufficient external monitoring can let attackers operate undetected from outside your network.
Ø Successful external compromise can lead to compliance breaches, customer loss and reputational damage.
Your Outcomes
An external network penetration test gives you clear, business-focused insight into how exposed your public-facing assets are and what to prioritise.
Ø Reduced likelihood of successful external attack by remediating high-risk internet-facing weaknesses.
Ø Stronger assurance for customers, partners and insurers through demonstrated due diligence.
Ø Better prioritisation of security spend driven by business impact rather than technical noise.
Ø Faster detection and containment by highlighting gaps in external monitoring and response.
Our Approach
01
Scope & Reconnaissance
Agree testing boundaries, enumerate public assets and perform targeted information gathering.
02
Active Exploitation
Perform authenticated and unauthenticated tests against services, hosts and edge devices to safely identify exploitable vulnerabilities.
03
Validate Impact
Demonstrate real-world impact through controlled exploitation and proof-of-concept validation (safely and with client consent)
04
Report & Remediate
Deliver a risk-ranked report, remediation guidance and options for re-testing to confirm fixes.
Deliverables
