Penetration Testing

How well will your security hold up against an attack?

Thanks to evolving technologies, it has become easier than ever for hackers and other cyber criminals to find and exploit weaknesses in your organization’s defenses. Even if you have the utmost confidence in your cybersecurity posture, the only way you can really know how well you’re protected is by testing it in real-world scenarios. Fortis offers multiple types of penetration testing, where our highly certified experts simulate an attack on your organization using ethical hacking techniques in an effort to uncover any vulnerabilities within your environment.

If it is discovered that your network, applications, devices, or employees can be compromised, we will provide a detailed report that lists every security issue by priority level and potential impact, along with an actionable remediation plan. We strongly recommend that organizations schedule penetration tests on a regular cadence to account for occasional changes in your IT environment and new trends/tactics used by cyber criminals.
