Pentest
We identify gateways into systems and applications and reduce your risk
Protect your company proactively with our Pentetration Test
A Penetration Test, or Pentest for short, is an effective IT security measure to analyze the security level of your systems, networks and applications and is often required to comply with compliance requirements. Conducting a Pentest allows you to identify possible risks at an early stage and ensures that your partners and service providers comply with a wide range of regulations.
With usd HeroLab, you have one of the leading providers of technical security analyses by your side. However, we don't operate alone. We are part of the knowledge network of usd AG as auditor and consultant and have an extensive partner network. This means you not only get technical security analyses at the highest level, but also expertise in compliance and organizational matters related to information security.
Understanding a Hacker's Mind
In usd Pentests, our security analysts assume the role of a malicious hacker and simulate attacks on your IT system landscape. They attempt to penetrate your company's systems in a targeted, individual and creative manner using the same methods, techniques and procedures that attackers would use. The goal is to find as many vulnerabilities and attack points as possible so that you can fix them in time before they can be exploited by a real attacker.
When was the last time you checked your IT security?
New vulnerabilities are constantly being discovered, for example through hacker attacks. Changes to the IT environment, for example through software updates, can lead to new security vulnerabilities.
Therefore, Penetration Tests should be repeated regularly over a period of one year and should be firmly integrated into the security process. We will be happy to support you!
