A network relates to the underlying infrastructure that supports common interfaces, such as web applications. Often, an attacker will probe for potential underlying weaknesses in order to leverage access to a device or server.
Businesses that have external and/or internally facing servers will benefit from comprehensive network penetration testing—read on to find out how.
Network Penetration Testing
What is the difference between an internal and external network assessment?
As the name would suggest, an external network penetration test covers a client’s externally facing network and infrastructure. Such devices can include servers, firewalls, routers, switches, and any other device that can be accessed directly from outside the organisation. See our external network penetration test section for further information.

An internal network penetration test involves the assessment of a client’s internal infrastructure, this could be internally facing servers, switches, routers, and firewalls. In addition to the above, an internal network penetration test will often focus on a client’s active directory configuration.
