Overview
The penetration test proposal belongs to Haverbrook Investment Group L.L.L.P. The company specializes in financial services, making security an essential need both digitally and physically. Digital platforms have enabled businesses to happen in a streamlined way. The digitalization of services also poses a challenge of security, especially on the organization's information as well as clients' information. Hackers are a big threat to organizations, and despite security measures placed by companies, the criminals still find a way to hack into systems. It is, therefore, advisable that organizations conduct penetration tests to ensure your company’s network is secure. Penetration testing involves assessing the vulnerabilities of system, applications, or network that can get exploited by hackers.
Scope
The pen test for Haverbrook seeks to evaluate the security posture of the organization by utilizing simulated attacks that would help in identifying vulnerabilities. During pen testing, defining the scope is important as it helps in knowing the networks, applications, accounts, and physical security controls, among other assets that are subject to the penetration attack. For Haverbrook, the penetration test will be centered around computer systems and networks. The company expects that the relevant loopholes are identified, and appropriate measures are taken to mitigate the possibility of being attacked by hackers.
